Julie; what an incredible, super host she is!!
I booked the double room with the ensuite for my partner, in Julie's lovely thatched cottage for 2 weeks. She was quick at responding and offered to pick him up from Killarney train station-which was incredibly kind of her, as my partner had a some heavy bags to carry. Julie was very welcoming and made him feel at home instantly. She gave him fantastic advice on places to go and visit, and little hidden gems in Kerry, and was more than happy to help with any other questions he/we had of the surrounding areas. Throughout his stay, Julie offered him lifts into town, which went beyond his expectations, and this really stood out for him!
The room was very clean and bright, the bed very comfortable and the ensuite had a good shower. Julie's home has such a warm and cosy feel to it, and the garden outside-just gorgeous! But we cannot forget to mention the infamous 'Wally' (pony), what a cheeky, but great character he is!!
Julie as a host, is extremely accommodating, she gives you your privacy, offers to do laundry (if needed) and makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable in her home. We cannot recommend her home enough to others, and her hosting skills are second to none.
The area of Old Killarney Villages is very quiet and peaceful, it is perfectly situated, not at all far from Killarney town and it's a joy to walk around the neighbourhood for some fresh air.
We walked to town and it took @ 25mins-30mins, which is perfect and it's a short distance by car. Julie's cottage is so close to all main roads which includes The Ring of Kerry route. There are an array of shops/petrol station nearby to Julie's home, which was very convenient for our needs.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Julie's Airbnb, and I highly recommend her gorgeous home to others who are looking to enjoy this beautiful part of Ireland. Nothing is ever too much for Julie and she is such a warm and friendly host.
We LOVED, loved our stay.....thank you Julie and Wally.
