A grand combination of old & new Ireland, the Old Cottage on the Wild Atlantic Way, checked all the boxes for our family.
Rustic and secluded? Check. Halfway between Dingle and Killarney National Park? Check. Short trip to Inch Beach? Check. We’ll equipped, modern kitchen? Check. An actual washer and separate dryer for doing laundry (a must for anyone doing more than a few days on the WAW)? Check. Clean house, crisp linens? Check. Attentive hosts who care about your stay? Check.
Any downsides? Only if you come with expectations of 5 star luxury. This is a traditional Irish cottage based in a rural location. Nearby cows will moo and poo in the adjacent properties; if that isn’t a problem for you (it wasn’t for me), then you have found an absolute gem in Kerry. Enjoy it!
