Shining Irish Gem! I wish I have enough words to put this Irish paradise into a review. We felt like in the most idyllic picturesque movie. This scenic landscape was so quiet, comfortable and relaxing that we didn´t want to leave it. We would just sit there enjoying the pastoral view of lambs, sheep, green fields, magnificent mountains and the flood of peaceful emotions which it evoked. The cottage´s windows face the stunning beauty of the Irish landscape, country sunsets... Falling asleep and waking up with hearing the sheep bleating, watching so close sheep and lambs behaviour, the glorious scenery - all this was new for us and we just loved it. We stayed during Easter and Sinead´s family allowed us to come down to see their farm animals, new born lambs and calves.
The cottage itself has been renovated in such a lovely way. It has so many personal touches, it radiates the loving care and welcoming spirit of this house. It is exceptionally clean, comfortable and spacious. The house is warm and as an additional feature has a solid fuel stove which makes it all the more cosy. The interior is well furnished, provided all the amenities necessary for travellers, who will certainly appreciate all the extras - food items, informative pamphlets etc. It is located near Waterville a short drive to Portmagee and Valentia Island. It's close to the Irish coast and perfect for a trip around the Ring of Kerry. The roads are very rural, narrow but with amazing views. The closest shops and restaurants are in Waterville village, 10 min driving.
Sinead is flexible, communicating with her is super easy. She was very helpful, awaiting us, showing us the way to the house and providing very useful advice regarding the surrounding area. Sinead, her mother and father are the most outstanding hosts, incredibly kind and welcoming, we have never felt more at home and happy with any other place. We highly recommend this amazing cottage to others. Thanks again! We wish all the success possible!
