"We enjoyed Aunties and the cottage although a bit quirky was lovely."
However there was only one shower working and there definitely is no oven., even though I was told by your staff there was. The location was a bit hard to get to and not really walkable to pubs etc. however we still had a pleasant time therr
Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Aunties is a good sized cottage set amidst two working farms."
The house has a basic charm with the fire helping to bring a little cosiness to the evenings. The outside area is better suited to older children as it is open and unfenced in parts. Aunties is well located to explore the surrounding coastal area, and villages and towns.

"The property was charmingly rustic and very clean, it sits amid a working farm."
Situated between Bantry and Glengarriff, the location is ideal for people wanting to be just outside a town in a tourist area. The listing was slightly inaccurate, there was not an electric oven, instead we had access to a microwave and a 2 ring hob that sits on top of the kitchen counter. The downstairs shower was broken on arrival, this wasn't a problem for us and we're sure it will be repaired when possible. The garden was in honesty disappointing, it was not private, nor was it an acre. Our children were chased on one occasion by 2 large neighbouring dogs on the lawn directly outside the house. We could not recommend it for families with children anticipating a safe outdoor space. The bedrooms were well positioned and the larger room had plenty of storage space, however the mattresses were rather uncomfortable.
