Ita's home was the most beautiful place we stayed during our time in Ireland, I only wish we could have stayed longer. Ita herself was very accommodating and gave us lifts into town when required. We went to beaches and climbed mountains and had an amazing time all around the area, often using their spare bikes to go on trips. Ita's family were lovely and the locals all took an interest in our presence and were also lovely. We had a really really great time and would recommend this to anyone who asked where to go. We didn't have a car but didn't find it hard to get around, catching buses when needed. Ita's drive into work in the mornings and return trips meant we saw the sunrise and sunset over the beautiful ring of Kerry. the views were frankly spectacular and the cottage itself was as cosy as anything. the fireplace kept us warm while we ate delicious meals and discussed the events of the day. We had a lovely time and would be honoured to stay again if ever we had the opportunity. not an opportunity to be missed even in the off season. the lack of tourists made it quiet and humble and we loved it even when stuck waist deep in gorse on one of our expeditions. the two dogs were adorable and the cat made a few brief appearances. i dont have any complements left but honestly this place was fantastic and if you can you should stay here
