The best way to describe our stay at this woodland cabin was Magical!

I booked this accommodation for a group of five for a special family occasion and from the first exchange (very fast response rate!) Cara showed herself to be a warm and welcoming host.

The cabin was immaculate with a fabulous kitchen and lots of space to stretch out. The beds were comfortable with lovely bedlinen and the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. The washing machine and dishwasher were really handy for our group. The shore was literally beside the cabin. We could scoot down to sit by the sea at any time in a hammock made of an old fishing net to listen to the lapping waves of the sea. We were lucky with our timing - one night we saw fireworks across the bay! But I think at any time of year this would be special.
The most amazing feature was the luxurious hot tub under the peaceful star-studded Kerry sky. It was our delicious nightly reward after a day of rambling and driving - even the rain could not keep us out! There is nothing our host did not think of to make this stay so enjoyable and relaxing.

The cabin is nestled just outside the town in a truly beautiful and relatively unspoilt area of Ireland on the Beara peninsula. It is an ideal location for rambling through Kenmare town and surrounds, hiking along the Beara Way or driving from village to picturesque village. The area is steeped in ancient heritage with breath-taking sights. I especially recommend the view by the stone circle at Cashelkeelty, the view from Josie's Lakeview Restaurant, a drive along the coast between ArdGroom and Eyeries to Allihies and also across Tim Healy's Pass with a call into Don's Mountain Shop at the Cork-Kerry border and home-made ice-cream from Issie's in Castletownbere. We didn't go to Garnish Island this time but if you don't mind the rather high cost of the ferry, its worth a stroll around on a sunny day.

I cannot recommend this location and accommodation highly enough! Go!
