    The breakfast was excellent. The host Mary was very welcoming and gave us local knowledge for getting around etc. The room was plenty big enough to accommodate two big suitcases.

    Mary is an excellent host. Location for us was great. We could walk to a restaurant and pub (a little bit of a climb on the way back). Mary’s suggestions for what to do were very helpful

Company information

I am relaxed and easy going, I enjoy living in the country side, picking mushrooms at dawn and making blackberry jam for family and guests. I like to cook bread and scones like my mother before me and garden so that I have herbs for my kitchen and flowers to cut for my home. I love and make the most of beautiful area in which I live, playing tennis in the local club, swimming, surfing and kayaking in the different beaches, all with in 15 min drive and walking in the woods. I take great pride in the time and help I give my guests

Property information

A warm Irish welcome to my house overlooking Cork Harbour. My hope is that all guests who visit Tranquile waters have a relaxing gentle time from their busy lives. The easy atmosphere and holistic way of life Mary creates in her home is unique and is appreciated by her visitors, as commented in her guest book …..One guest felt her time here became part of her ’ life’s journey’. The calm and serenity that is embodied in 'Tranquile Waters' is attractive to guests and many stay longer than originally anticipated. Maura, “I came for one night and stayed for four. There was such a lovely welcome and calmness about the place. It was just what I needed.’ ‘Very homely’, another guest wrote, ‘to be greeted with home-made scones and blackberry jam after a long journey was an unexpected treat.’ While the house is in a very private setting, it is also only 30 minutes from Cork City and 15 minutes from the nearest town Midleton, where there is a farmers market every Saturday. The house is surrounded by fields and trees and offers off-street parking. Recently Collette , a renowned marathon runner (600 marathons under her belt) said it was one of the nicest rooms she had s

Neighbourhood information
