Greeted by Mari with tea and cake on arrival Glendine promised good things!
The room was large, well equipped and very clean. That evening the local knowledge was much appreciated. Mari gave us a choice of recommended places to eat and the local music spot An Teach Beag - worth a visit for true Irish music.
The choice at breakfast was excellent, and where possible sourced locally - and great to meet the local sausage producer hand delivering the sausages the day before! Even down to homemade jams and Micks homemade pate!
Both Mick & Mari made sure we didn't want for anything, and if we did....they'd go to great lengths to help. Thank you!

We have visited Ireland many times, playing golf and staying at many lovely bed and breakfast inns. This was probably going to be our last trip for golf as our walking is now limited. What a pleasure it was to enjoy Mari's and Mick's warm hospitality for our final memories of this beautiful country. Our room was very comfortable but the wonderful breakfasts were the highlight -- so much so that we very much wanted the recipe for the Irish soda bread. Mari generously showed us how it was made in her lovely kitchen and then, when her recipe did not quite work with American ingredients, emailed her suggestions until we finally got it right! There are many interesting places to visit nearby and, of course, plenty of golf courses. We especially enjoyed visiting the museum in Cobh describing the terrible potato famine and resulting emigration to America. We highly recommend Glendine Irish Home.

The Hanly's run an establishement that sets the mark for excellence in accomodations and service. The home is beautiful and flawlessly maintained, the decorating is tasteful and has thee ambience of "home". Tea seems to be ready at any moment. The Hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Hanly are inteligent, witty and concerned about their customer's comfort.
The food is excellent and the menu discloses a sensitivity to environmental issues and the health benefits or organic foods. I have travelled Ireland for over 30 years and have never found a finer lodging. For the wearied traveller 'Glendine" is surely a sanctuary.

This is a lovely, friendly b&b complete with homemade cake & tea on arrival (we got millionaires shortbread, amazing). We were told not to waste our money on a taxi home after our evening out and given Mairi's mobile number to call for a lift home, when we had car problems the next day Mick brought out his toolbox to see if he could help. A genuinely lovely, lovely place to stay & if I find myself back in Clonakilty I won't hesitate to come back.
