Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | 1 Dog | 2 Cats

The cats gets lonely when we are away. They like to sleep inside for part of the day. We prefer them to be in at night. They like cuddles several times a day, but generally just like people being around. They are very easygoing.

House

We live in a cosy cottage looking out at Long Strand Beach, 15 min drive from Clonakilty and 10 min from Rosscarbery. It is a very scenic area with lots of walks .

We have lots of CDs and musical instruments including an old grand piano. Also have lots of books.

Very relaxing here close to nature but shops, restaurants and pubs in rosscarbery and clonakilty nearby. Own transport best but is possible to to get bus to clonakilty or rosscarbery from cork and do food shopping then get taxi to our place for 20 euro. We are just under an hours drive from cork airport.

Claire is very helpful and give you everything you need to know about the house, the cats and will be here to help you if you encounter a problem. The house is exceptional, view on the sea that is not even 5 mins away by walk, truly comfortable, a relaxing atmosphere, the best bed ever,... I would say the house is so great and luminous that even the more adventurous Indiana Jones would prefer to just stay inside some days. The cats, Tara and Hamshi, both have their own temper, Tara is independent but as soon as she gets to know you she will love to be cuddled. Hamshi is less shy at first sight, sweethearted and playful. Both will surely follow you in the different pieces of the house. Even if it is a big house, I never felt alone there. Irish mindset is really welcoming and friendly so you can meet plenty of locals that are ready to share their stories with you. Furthermore the cats will never let you down if you give back to them the support they give to you. The house may be a little bit far from the supermarkets or the bus stop by walk, but it really depends of the person. I really enjoyed to walk along the sea to join the next supermarket (or another pathway is by the woods). I recommand to any housesitter interested in staying over there to not hesitate, the place is truly great. Thank you Claire for this very pleasant stay !
