“Lovely cottage”

Reviewed 24 Jun 2019

We've stayed in many holiday rentals over the years, but this is the first time we've returned for a second visit. Our fond memories of Muddy cottage were proven right - it's such a cheerful, comfortable house with just about every utensil and facility you could possibly wish for, as well as breathtaking views all round. The location is perfect for exploring west Cork, and there's so many places to visit that you're spoiled for choice. If you don't mind a steep 2k walk, I'd recommend the woodland walk at Knockomagh woods overlooking Loch Hyne, with stunning views at the top. Also recommended (again, with steep walks) is Mizen head, as well as Barleycove beach. Enjoy!

Response from the owner Glad to welcome you back! That’s a great walk up the hill, beautiful views from the top. I’ll take up your tip for Barleycove next trip :)
