We had a great time in Kenmare over the Christmas holiday season visiting with family in the area - that was in great part down to the fact that the home Laura rented to us was wonderful. The house was clean, roomy but homely at the same time. There was plenty to entertain us there from TV and books to recommendations for local activities. There was also a great big kitchen with all mod cons so we could cook and cater for ourselves ... that was important for us at a time of year so associated with eating and celebrating.
