If you want remoteness, this is where you get it. The last but two houses on the way up Bolus Head (you have to pass the "this is the end, please turn back now!" sign), there is nothing but sheep to disturb you. The house is old, but Tadhg is planning to renovate now. The house was extended to fit more people in, so don't expect to be crammed in. There are two double bedrooms, and another bedroom with a queen sized bed on the first floor (guess where our daughters wanted to sleep... they loved it!). There's a nice dining table in the kitchen (my wife wanted to take the table and the chairs back home, she loves old wood furniture), and a VERY nice extra room with a table to read, play games, enjoy the sun... whatever. Walking up to Bolus Head is just like 1.5 km, and you'll have a nice view on Skelligs. We were a bit unlucky with the weather and woke up in the clouds 3 of our 5 nights, but apart from that the views are spectacular -- looking at the Atlantic Ocean from your breakfast table with just sheep and some cliffs is just extremely relaxing for me.
I planned to walk down to the pub for an evening pint... and we did that one night, but it took us 1 hour and 10 minutes to walk up home. It's quite a walk, and it's quite steep ;) We loved it!
