Our reviews really do speak for themselves, and we couldn’t resist showing you this good boy 🐾 in his Carbery Cottage bandana 🥹🥰

Here’s what his human had to say about his recent stay in Swallow’s Roost, our self catering cottage:

“Bring your dog and enjoy. I stayed here for three days with my little dog in the Swallows Roost, and it was a wonderful experience. Very comfortable accommodation, and I slept incredibly well throughout the stay. The food was absolutely excellent, and West Cork itself is stunning — serene, peaceful, and wonderfully remote. Mike and Julia were exceptionally welcoming hosts, with plenty of treats and attention for the madra as well. There’s also a lovely little enclosed dog run where your dog can stretch their legs and burn off some energy. If you’re looking for genuine countryside peace and quiet, it would be hard to do better.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’re stocked and repainted
Scrubbed all the floors
Only a week left
Til we open our doors

Winter’s behind us
Summer is here
The staff are buzzing
Of that there’s no fear

Cormac is giddy
Some call him a nutter
He swears it’s genetic
‘All from the mother’

Margaret is busy
No messing around
‘Usually’ says Cormac
‘She’s fairly sound’

She loves meeting people
Listening to tales
Yet runs a tight ship
Tough as nails

Any tourists take note
(Locals will agree)
No late-night nursing of pints
Or all day to drink tea

So see you soon
The opening is on track
Kinds regards,
The boss and Cormac
