    The house was very clean and well equipped. It is in a great location in West Cork and we had a great 6 days using Shearwater as our base to visit many locations. The beds are very comfortable and it was great to wake up to stunning sea views. Unionhall has beautiful scenery. There is a great local fishmonger and shop in the village. We would highly recommend this self catering 3 bedroom house V house

    There aren't any negatives but guests should be aware that the accommodation is on an incline & then a stepped entrance so possibly unsuitable for guests with mobility issues.

    Location excellent, host very knowledgable about the local area. Accommodation was excellent, well equipped, crisp white bedding and plenty of towels!

    Great base for exploring West Cork. Quite close to Whale watching from Reen Peir, and most places can be reached within

    Nothing with the cottage, the only issue is with only 2 pubs that did not do live music you were quite restricted in the evening

    The cottage was absolutely stunning, right on the waterfront with beautiful views over looking the bay. The beds were extremely comfortable and well fitted out kitchen/ bedroom and nice and clean. One bedroom with toilet downstairs, good for people with poor mobility with another double and single upstairs, both with beautiful views. Pub within a 15min walk that did lovely food and close to larger towns within about a 15min drive. We would recommend hiring a car to get out and about.

    A really beautiful appartment with a great kitchen. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed our stay very much. The host was very friendly and helpful. Unionhall is a peaceful little village unspoiled by tourism in a lovely scenery. However, be aware that attractions always take a while of driving. We strongly recommend the beaches near Roscarberry and whale watching from Baltimore.
