Had an absolute blast at Mary’s house!! She was extremely accommodating and gave us recommendations along with help in navigating around the town and into the city. The house is wonderful and so cute with a full kitchen and supplies, TV, outdoor seating, 4 comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. Could not imagine a better place to stay. The Village of Kilbrittain was so beautiful with a park, pub, cafe, and a beach not too far of a walk away. Thank you so much Mary for letting us stay we had a blast and hope to return!!
