A lovely hotel with fantastic staff. Despite being an incredibly busy weekend all of the staff were always ready to help with a smile. The facilities were very good and much appreciated when it just poured down most of one day. Views of Cork from our apartment and especially from the glasshouse bar and the restaurant were wonderful. It was a brilliant place to stay.

What an absolute joyous experience! Colleen met us upon arrival and showed us around their wonderful place! It felt a bit like the Shire, really! Comfy little abodes and unusual structures. The yurt we stayed in was lovely and large. With wood heat we stayed very warm even on frosty nights! We had a camp fire and nice kitchen facilities. But the best part was all the critters!! There is a pig and ponies and a duck. My kids particularly enjoyed the kitty, "Tiger" who spent our nights snuggled up in out yurt! HIGHLY recommend this wonderful, out of the fast paced world little spot! CHEERS, to the beautiful Colleen!
