It was the perfect experience on the Ring of Kerry- Clare is a stellar host who helped me months beforehand communicate with our Skellig Michael boat captain. The room was great- comfy beds, awesome shower. Hearty breakfast and coffee each morning- and had good chances to interact with other pleasant guests. Having a car is necessary- but right down by the water there's plenty to see! Loved the abbey ruins. Can't stress enough that Clare is so lovely and will help you plan what you'd like to do (thanks for the tip on the sheep farm!! It was awesome).
