My boyfriend and I enjoyed a three night stay at Cara's gorgeous woodland cabin, in January. Cara welcomed us to the cabin - check-in was a breeze. She was a text away when we needed her, she even kindly called down to the cabin with lots of taxi numbers/business cards for us which was really helpful.
Located a short drive from Kenmare town, nestled in woodland, it feels so isolated and private but in reality it was still possible to pop to the shops. One of the nights we got a taxi into town for a meal and the taxi cost a very affordable €5!
The cabin is surprisingly much bigger than it seems in the pictures here, and would be ideal for a larger group. Despite this the cabin still felt so cosy and romantic and not 'too big' for a couple. It was spotlessly clean and boasted some fantastic views.
The kitchen was beautiful. It was well stocked with the essentials, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning supplies, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, salt & pepper, cooking oil and even some dried herbs! This was really impressive and made it so pleasant to eat-in.
The bedrooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. Occasionally I suffer from backache and while the mattress in the master bedroom did not agree with my back, I had a fantastic nights sleep in another bed.
During our stay we enjoyed a walk in the woods and along the strand near the cabin, a gorgeous meal in No.35, a trip to Moll's Gap and the fabulous Strawberry Fields pancake house and of course a dip in the hot tub cut short only by freezing temperatures and a downpour of rain! But all of the above was with great difficulty as it involved tearing ourselves away from the gorgeous wood burning stove, which we enjoyed to no end. The electricity was affordable too.
Overall a great stay, we would both return and recommend it to anyone hoping to totally relax or alternatively to explore Kerry.
