“Perfect retreat”

Reviewed 26 Jun 2017

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the West Cork countryside at Blue School. JeanLuc and Ina are excellent hosts, making us feel very welcome while also respecting our privacy. We loved having the hens roaming outside our front door and especially looked forward to the daily visit from Coco, their sweet dog. A perfect location for exploring the local beaches and the towns of Clonakilty and Roscarberry.
