Beautiful place to stay
A wonderful place with brilliant views, surrounded by ample countryside. Gwyneth was the best host one could ask for, very friendly and helpful throughout my stay and indeed for both settling in and heading out. The place was lovely to stay in, featuring every utility you could desire, and felt very welcoming and comfortable as almost a home away from home. My only wish is that I could have stayed longer! For any undecided, The Brown Hen is definitely worth a stay.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Gwyneth is a lovely lady and very helpful. Location is peaceful and very quiet. Property very comfortable and clean, the washing machine was faulty but Gwyneth offered to do any laundry for us which was very kind of her. Definitely need transport as it is quite remote, but that adds to the ambience of the surroundings

Beautiful, cozy spot
The cottage was the perfect spot for us to explore the Irish countryside and coast. It had all the amenities we needed and more. Gwyneth was a fabulous hostess and checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend the Brown Hen if you are visiting Cork County!

Warm welcome from Gwyneth upon our arrival. The location and cabin were perfect for our needs and was warm and comfortable when we returned after a day out. Gwyneth and Merv were great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our stay.

A Nest of Peace and True Quiet
The Brown Hen was the highlight of our Ireland visit. The house is charming and fully equipped, well-suited to our party of 2. Gwyneth made us feel welcome and guided us to sightseeing we would have overlooked - Beara Peninsula and Mizen Head were highlights! The location is perfect for exploring southwest Ireland and was a haven after each day's drive. The Brown Hen has a relaxing sense of isolation while the town and its services are a short drive away. The accommodation is lovely but it is Gwyneth's attention to detail and her care for her guests that makes it special.

Fun on the Farm!
We are so happy we stayed here! We took several trips to nearby places and discovered things we wouldn’t have had we stayed in the city. Gwyneth is a gracious hostess, and we loved the fresh bread and eggs! And the cows provided a little bit of entertainment for us too.

The Brown Hen was a delight to stay in. From the decor, comfy beds to relaxing, serene farmland this stay was just perfect. Our host, Gwyneth was charming, personable and such a lovely lady.

Brown Hen
The Brown Hen house was well appointed and tidy. The wifi was reliable and the house heated easily and comfortably when required. Driving to Cork city mid day didn’t take too long and I was surrounded by nature at the house mornings and evenings. The host was gracious, helpful, and responsive. I’m grateful to have stayed at The Brown Hen.

Delightful farm stay in rolling green hills!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Brown Hen. The cottage is immaculate and well appointed, and the tasteful decor invites you to settle in and enjoy its warmth and charm. It is also ideally located for leisurely drives and walks along the coast to marvel at its rugged wind swept beauty. Thank you sincerely, Gwyneth, for welcoming us so genuinely to your country home and to the farm. You know how much we enjoyed our trip down memory lane amongst the cows and calves! We appreciated your gracious hospitality, your heartfelt concern for your guests' well being and your endearing nature. May you and Mervyn be blessed with many more grateful visitors!

Séjour parfait à proximité de Cork!
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour du côté de Bandon à proximité de Cork et autres perles du comté : châteaux, jardins, ports,… L’emplacement est idéal : très belle vue sur la campagne vallonnée irlandaise et très calme. Le cottage est parfait : décoration soignée et propreté/confort impeccables. Un grand merci enfin à Gwyneth pour l’accueil chaleureux! Nous reviendrons sans hésiter si l’occasion se présente.
