Mountain Escape. An absolute hidden gem of a stay.
Peace and tranquillity on the doorstep of the Ring of Kerry and the Skelligs, what more could one ask for!
We stayed in Mountain Escape for a long weekend, and even before our arrival Rita had ensured our stay would be an amazing one. The house is newly refurbished with every modern convenience imaginable, from a fully stocked modern kitchen to a laundry room / wet room to clean up after those exciting adventure days! The view from the terrace is stunning, with benches and parasols provided for an unforgettable outdoor dining experience! The house had such old world charm, with furniture from the original cottage to give it that authentic country house feeling. A cosy fireplace to top it all, with local turf!
Local towns, Valentia Island and Portmagee – gateway to the Skelligs – are within 20-40 mins drive, with shops for essentials even closer. Its a perfect spot for relaxing after a day of exploring, enjoying the escape from the city life to relax in a rural paradise.
Rita could not be more accommodating, providing some local produce for us on arrival and some fantastic insights on the local attractions. We will be back for sure!
