Very peaceful environment with no pressure to do anything or be anywhere. Local shops were a drive away.
The owners were so friendly and helpful when we showed up from our disaster travels. They helped us get food and to finally get our rental car…a must for travel. So thankful to them.

Staff/owners were great and very accommodating. However beds need replacing (very uncomfortable in room 5) and bathrooms need some repair ie difficult to get water working in shower and light over sink not working. Tub also unavailable for use. That being said, enjoyed our visit. Breakfast was superb!

Stayed 2 nights on our recent visit. B&B is beautiful. Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was delicious with nice variety. The place is a bit remote and accessible via tiny back roads. Watch out that map apps may have to go off the main road many km earlier than necessary. Walk around the property was very pleasant. Would recommend.

Overall, the place was good, but a bit shabby. Paper was peeling in the bathroom, the lights flickered and the towel rack fell apart. We could not get hot water in the afternoon, and had lukewarm showers in the morning. WiFi and phone coverage were terrible.

Huge rooms, good breakfast and a fabulous games room/bar to chill. It was great to help yourself from the bar (honesty box), read old newspapers from 50 years ago, and play snooker and other games. Full of character and really friendly host. Would highly recommend and even though it's a little off the beaten track it's only 30 mins to the centre of Cork.

Dissapointed

We were very excited to stay at The Cannaway house as the photos and write up were beautiful. I love staying at BnBs over hotels usually, but we were left a bit disappointed on this trip with BnBs for several reasons.
1. We chose Hotels.com as we can choose to pay ahead or oay at the properrty. We chose to oay at the property with my husbands \"Vacation \" credit card. With busy lives I did the bookings and plannings and he did the paying..... however the BnB. charged the credit card on file 36 hrs before check in. I even sent a message stating we would be using a different credit card. The host was pleasant enough and explained she couldn't switch it. It was the second time this happened to us with hotels.com while on this trip, however the other BnB was able to cancel and charge the correct card.
2. No Air Conditioner, it was so humid! and the windows would inky open and inch.
3. The carpet was not vacuumed and the bathroom shower had black mold all on the outside. I almost wanted to leave! But it was already late.
We did have a nice breakfast.
No one to check us out

Loved the property, the hosts and breakfast was plentiful and delicious. When we checked in, we were told that the spa tub in the room was not operational. I didn't mind as it was too large, and I prefer a quick shower anyway. The problem happened when I got in the shower and got scalded by the hot water. There was no cold water to temper it with, so we wound up washing off in the sink.

Charming home out in the country. The hosts were very welcoming and gracious despite our last-minute reservation and arrival later than their usual check-ins. We were given a triple room (double twin) which included a bathroom with enormous jetted tub and separate huge jetted shower. We used only the usual shower, but it sure looked luxurious. Delicious hot breakfast.
Note that this property is not near anything else. You need a vehicle and will drive through lovely winding roads. You need to eat dinner elsewhere. We had a nice meal in Macroom at Granville’s Bar & Grill.

This is a beautiful restored country property, with magnificent views and easy access to the town of Macroom. The breakfast was delicious, but coffee and tea service was available in the upstairs hallway as well as in each room. Additionally, there is an informal family area with a pool table, bar, and games.
Improvements would include better beds and better lighting in the bathroom. Great value, all in all.

Missed restaurants in near town so got own food to take back- kindly helped with plates cutlery and then tidied up after us… very much appreciated - was really nothing too much trouble!
