We would recommend you have a car, but if you don't we can provide lifts into the local town when we are going in. Also the local community are very nice and there are always people driving in and out of town that you can catch a lift with.
What else ...
There are lots of beautiful beaches and walks near by.. The town of Clonakilty is 10K away. It is a truly beautiful area with loads to see and do, but public transport if not great so if you want to go site seeing then a car is handy.
