Overall this was a great place to stay. The entrance to the property is slightly difficult to navigate and the hot water does not heat the upstairs showers, but other than that it was clean, comfortable and safe.

Great little spot just outside of Cork
The only two improvements that I would suggest would be 1) a cutting board and 2) new pillows. The ones that were there were very flat.

Cork stay
Jeremy was very responsive with communications. The house was very clean and well located for our day trips. Thank you Jeremy for your recommendations on places to visit and eat!
Great location and house. Check out Black man bar down the road for a true friendly neighborhood Irish pub

Exploring the area
Nice location to explore the Cork area, easy drive to downtown. Tough driveway to get in and out of, although that's not unusual at many places we've stayed in Ireland :-) Derated one star on the 'cleanliness' rating not due to that but because there was no hairdryer which we've been used to having at other Vrbos we've stayed at, as we couldn't use our US one and didn't bring it with us.

Quick Stay in Cork
We had a quick stay here during our honeymoon. The location was perfect for when we went to the St Patrick’s Day Parade, only 10 minute drive! The house was the perfect size and provided all the amenities we needed. After staying in multiple hotels, it was nice to have a whole house to utilize, even if just for a short period. The check in/check out process was an absolute breeze!

Lovely!
This house is in a very quiet neighborhood just outside of Cork. It had all the amenities that we needed and was a quieter alternative to staying in the city. Just a quick drive to both the city center and to Blarney Castle.
