Lovely space, lovely hosts
The space was very nice, spacious with a solarium and a mostly fenced in yard with a gate to the road - we could let our kids run around with no worries about them getting hurt. The hosts even provided delicious scones and sandwiches! We would 100% stay here again.

Cozy stay in West Cork
Jane Ann is an amazing host. Above and beyond amenities that make you feel welcomed and comfortable as if it was your home. A short 4 minute drive to Castletownshend or Skibbereen. The coast road/wild Atlantic Way equally as far. Top class hosting

Lovely, cozy stay in Raheen
We are a family of five, and spent the last week of October in Raheen. Upon arrival we were delighted to find that Jane Ann had prepared a full spread of sandwiches, scones, teas and more and the house heated and ready for us to relax in. What an excellent start to a wonderful week-long stay in West Cork!
The house was clean and very well-equipped, which was great for us so that we didn't have to pack linens or dish soap, or dine out for every meal. On rainy days we took advantage of the board games at our disposal or read in the cozy living room. We all slept soundly, as the surrounding area is very peaceful and rural.
Raheen is a good location for visiting local towns and further destinations like Mizen Head, Blarney Castle, Charles Fort, etc.
We spent an unforgettable week at Raheen and would recommend it to any family or group.
