    Admar cottage is in a quiet and peaceful location next to the owners’ house just outside Kilbrittain. The area has beautiful beaches and coastline. In addition, the nearby town of Kinsale is vibrant with 2 interesting forts to visit. The house itself has been decorated to a high specification and with attention to detail. It had everything we needed and we were very comfortable there. I had a couple of questions for the owner before we arrived and she was very helpful, answering quickly and clearly. She was able to accommodate us well. She also welcomed us to the cottage and was a reassuring but unobtrusive presence if we had any questions about the house or area. All in all, we had a comfortable and welcoming stay.

    Mary was a superb host who clearly loves hosting. The house was immaculately clean and had everything we needed as well as a delicious welcome pack of goodies. The location was perfect for us; wonderful both for the country views from every window to the beautiful drives to and along the coast that we wanted to do.
