We really enjoyed our stay at Tessa's lodge. Although we were only there for two nights, it was a perfect base to see the sights in that area. The lodge is just as described, and I would say the pictures don't do it justice.
Tessa was very helpful too providing accurate directions to the lodge, as we got in very late the first night.
The location is incredible - Kenmare is a great little town! There are many cafes and restaurants and pubs, lots of shopping, and plenty of sight seeing. And the lodge is located less than a 5 minute drive from town.
We have so much more to see in that part of the country and we would definitely stay at Tessa's lodge again.
