We have just returned from the Black valley where we spent five days surrounded by absolute stunning scenery. The road to the cottage through the Gap of Dunloe is also a joy to behold... lakes and high mountains on both sides. About 35 minutes from Killarney.
You need to be careful driving especially at night as the road is very narrow in places.
The bedrooms are spacious and the the beds are extremely comfortable. The couches in the living room are also very comfortable.
The stove in the kitchen gives out a lot of heat but do not forget to bring your own firewood and briquettes etc because the nearest shop is around 9 kilometers away.
There is some good fishing to be had on the lake at the bottom of the valley and in the nearby streams... I caught quite a few trout on the dry fly in both. My daughter loved playing with Tommy the cat and Toby the dog. Wonderful pets and extremely friendly. She also loved the donkey whose roar would waken the dead.... However he doesn't do this very often.
When we arrived the fire whuch was very welcome as it was spilling rain. We had some very good weather after that though.
The WiFi is really excellent... No problems at all.
If you are into hiking, fishing, cycling, walking or just chilling out.... this is definitely the place for you.
Margaret and Patrick are grea hosts.
