What a lovely place in a great location - just what we wanted after 18 months of COVID restrictions and no holidays!
We chose Co. Kerry and in particular Jane's accommodation because it looked so quiet and peaceful and a great place to unwind.
We were uncertain about taking our kayaks on the car all the way from England, but we were so glad we did. The local coves, inlets and beaches proved to be a fantastic place to explore and see the seals and other wildlife. Thankfully, the weather - for the most part - was perfect.
Add in a spot of fishing; leisurely coffee and cake breaks at the highly recommended 'Bellows'; a great meal at the Blind Piper; some general exploring of the wonderful nearby coastline; a somewhat 'hair raising' boat excursion out to the Skellig Islands (there was quite a sea swell!) and all in all you end up with the perfect break.
We also chose the location because it is in a designated 'dark sky' area, so we dutifully brought our telescope hoping to see far more than the light polluted view we get from home. Sadly, the weather didn't play ball here and every night saw cloudy skies. Hey ho, that's the luck of the draw - maybe next time?
One final mention for Jane who was as friendly, welcoming and helpful as every one had previously written about. Thank you Jane for a lovely stay. We look forward to coming back soon and going out kayaking together.
