If you want a unique experience of staying in a 200 year old cottage this is it! Remote and quite very peaceful. Well maintained and very friendly host.
Greg and his partner are lovely people. Greg made us a lovely diner on our arrival.The pretty cottage is 240 years old. The interieur is about 40 years old. It could do with an update. Especially the shower, kitchen, and matras. We did not know about cost for heating. It should have been on the Vbro website. So we did not have to. pay that. That was nice.
Beautiful cottages and location. Not too far from places we wanted to visit, such as Gougane Barra and Glengarriff. Lovely walks and days out. Need a car as not in walking distance to nearest town. Ziggy was very welcoming and helpful.
I loved everything about Tir na Spideoga. I felt right at home. It was quiet, casual and simple. I used my two bedroom cottage as my base camp for the month I was in Ireland. Greg and Ziggy were wonderful hosts and so helpful. If you enjoy the countryside and peacefulness, this is for you.
Greg & Ziggy are brilliant hosts who have thought of their visitors every need & nothing is too much trouble, it was amazing to stay in a historical 200 yr old thatched cottage which Greg has lovingly restored with just the right balance between orginal & modern facilities đ
The food Ziggy cooked very reasonable prices was delicous every single time, so much so i requested her gorgeous Shepherds Pie again for our last supper đ
Thank you so much for allowing us to share your idyllic retreat, we had theeee best time đ
TĂr Na Spideoga was as close to going native as you can get short of buying your own house. Gregg and his wife were inviting, charming and perfect hosts. The short drive into Inchigeelagh and proprietor Joe Creedon of Creedon's hotel with great food and a pint or two to end the day. Cork is an hour away for those like us doing genealogy research.
Itâs obvious that VRBO does not verify the accuracy of the listings. The pictures online have to be at least 15 if not 20 years old.When we first checked in, we were in the smaller cottage, which is pretty dark and dank. The bathroom, literally about 4 foot wide and 10 foot long was very uncomfortable. The floor sweat so bad that you couldnât walk into the bathroom without getting your feet wet. The owner moved us to a larger unit, right next-door, Which was much better, but still not very clean. The sheets smelled like sweat and the unit was just overall not very clean. When we asked to exchange the sheets for some clean ones, we got some pushback from the owners.We had rented the unit for a month, but we left a week early, no refund and argument from the owner over some of the charges. That was fine and we paid what they asked. But we wonât return.We stayed there as long as we could, because we knew that we would not get a refund at that late date leaving early. But then we were shocked at the end of the stay by the charge for heating oil.Even losing a week rental cost, we were still very happy to leave and get into something cleaner.By the way, it says on the site that you can ride horses, but the horses are too old to ride at this point.
Every surface in the kitchen was greasy. Yes, these thatched roofs were interesting but they were damp and cold inside. The pillows were flat, linens were old, and don't forget the 1 euro charge for old towels. He has a sign up that says provide your own towels, toiletries, toilet paper etc. We stayed somewhere else the second night. There is an .46 charge for rubbish by weight. Thought we would see horses but they are kepted somewhere else. Shower had standing water not draining properly.
2 schöne Wochen Urlaub mitten auf dem Land, aber zentral genug fĂŒr AusflĂŒge.
Check-in war unkompliziert, mit sehr schneller reactionszeit bei Fragen. Wir hatte uns am ersten Abend fĂŒrs diner angemeldet. Es gab unter anderem shepherd's pie. Sehr lecker.Die KĂŒche im cottage war zwar klein, aber ausreichend und mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet, was man zur selbstverpflegung braucht. Nut einen Backofen gabs nicht, den haben wir aber nicht vermisst. Gasherd und Mikrowelle gab's ja. Und die Gastgeber haben uns angeboten wenn wirveas fĂŒr den Ofen haben es in ihren Ofen zu packen.Liebe GrĂŒĂe noch an die Gastgeber sigi und greg und danke fĂŒr die schöne Zeit.
Lieben Dank fĂŒr die wunderbare Betreuung, das leckere Essen und die guten Tipps! Das Cottage ist alt aber gemĂŒtlich und liegt an einem schönen abgelegenen Ort. Ruhe ist garantiert. Die Landschaft ist grossartig.
We stayed 3 nights at this cute thatched roof country cottage. Owners were super friendly. Was a neat experience! The country side in this area was beautiful!!
My family and I needed somewhere to stay for one night while traveling through County Cork, and we are so happy to have found this lovely cottage. It was so quiet and so private, and it was very clean and comfortable. They were welcoming of our two dogs as well, which was appreciated. Would definitely stay here again if we are going through County Cork again
