Quiet and tucked away. If you want to get away from everything Gerard's place is for you. The accomodation was cosy with the ability to cook on the stove if you want to eat in although perhaps not if you plan to cook anything too adventurous. My husband and I ate out in Killarney which was over an hour's drive from Gerard's place. Gerard's recommendation of Portmcgee was lovely, we enjoyed our walk up to the cliffs and would have taken the boat tour out to Skillick Michael if the weather had permitted. We drove around the ring of Kerry from Portmcgee...all we can say is beautiful. An untouched beauty... we would also recommend a stop at Sneem which was a cute village with a lovely river (and a nice ice cream shop!). Gerard's place was a good base for exploring Kerry, although if you are hoping to have a pub on your doorstep possibly not for you, but we very much enjoyed our stay!
