We are a group of two couples who traveled to south-west Ireland in June 2018. We stayed at Ann’s place for 2 nights. Ann’s unit is a two-level home situated in a very quiet yet convenient location in town within a 2-3 minute drive from shopping, restaurant etc. It is very well decorated with full amenities. Beds are very comfortable. Laundry is next to the kitchen. Parking is right in front of the unit. Ann even provided us with Irish brown bread, eggs, bacon, fruits and other breakfast material. We had a feeling of staying in a ‘Home away from home’ during our short stay.
Ann is a very responsive and enthusiastic host. Even before our arrival, she offered to book a table at one of the best restaurants in town for us. As we were unsure of what time we could get into town we didnt take up her offer. After our arrival she found out that the restaurant has been fully booked for the evening. After making a booking for us for the next evening, she called another restaurant, booked a table for us, and personally led us to the restaurant.
Ann gave us invaluable information on what to see and do around the area, saving us precious time in getting to the places we want to visit and avoiding traffic and other tourist groups. She is anxious to help in every way she can to make our stay and visit of the area a better experience. When we had a question about something, we texted her and we got a response within minutes. What more can we ask for from the host?
We have stayed in many luxurious resorts and 5-star hotels. Not counting the lack of a swimming pool and an exercise room :), we consider Ann’s place a better choice. Anyone looking for a place to stay in the Kenmare/Killarney area should seriously consider Ann’s place.
