I found Dessy to be very easy to contact and very helpful. The apartment was clean and modern with everything you need. Very spacious living area with a TV and Irish channels, comfy sofas and a fireplace (with fuel provided, but we brought our own just in case). Great location - close to the beach, castle, monastery and shop. Great place to explore south west Kerry. Rugged, unspoiled landscape. Amazing scenery in all directions. There are hiking trails in the hills along the coast and for any history fans there are dolmens, stone rows and standing stones to be found too. Boat trips run daily (weather permitting) from the ancient fishing village of Portmagee (just a short drive away), to the stunning Skellig islands where you will discover an ancient monastic settlement, featured in the recent Star Wars movies.
This area is somewhat isolated, but there is a small grocery shop just a few minutes walk away and a supermarket can be found in the town of Cahersiveen about 15 km away, as well as a pharmacy, pubs and restaurants and petrol station. I forgot to mention, there is a fish and chips takeaway just down the road from the apartment too!
