Clare is a vivacious, funny lady, originally from South Africa. She gave great directions and had coffee and tea always available. Her breakfasts were phenomenal. The room was big, clean and bright, as was the bathroom. I think the view from her place has to be one of the best on the Ring of Kerry. She graciously called (twice) to make & confirm boat reservations for Skellig Michael (which I heartily recommend [dress for the North Atlantic and pre-treat for motion sickness if you're inclined to get sick]). This stay was my best on my Ireland (motorcycle) trip. Clare really takes good care of her guests.
