I was hoping to spend one night in Ballydehob on the way to Allihies from Cork, but there's only one B&B that allows one night stays and it is closed on our date (just found out owner is traveling).
I originally planned Baltimore, but the Fiddle Fest gobbled up all the rooms long before my one year planning range. I've considered Bantry, but I can't find any trad music.
From Cork, our last "must do" stop is the West Cork Model Railway, so Clonakilty is the first alternative that has a Friday session, but we've been there twice and I'm open to finding a hidden gem. We were thinking of Garnish Island after Ballydehob, so someplace between Clonakilty and Glengariff. Music almost required. Also two doubles.
