Take the Moll's Gap route to the cottage as less hair raising than the top of the Gap of Dunloe, as well as less traffic on single track for 2-way motorised and jaunting car (horse drawn cart) traffic. The Kennedy Cottage is close to Muckross House/Abbey, Torc Mountain, Avoca and Ross Castle but it takes a good 25+ minutes (9 km) to get onto a main road. Be sure to get food/bottled drinking water prior to arrival, as you are in the beautiful Black Valley. Plenty of pots/pans, spices and other cooking basics. Comfortable beds though top floor with 2 single beds had very restricted head height. Lovely local flowers, bottled water and chocolate chip cookies with selection of tea on arrival.
