This place is in the most magical spot on Mangerton Mountain overlooking fields of grazing sheep. The pictures do not even do it justice; my family and I were in awe when we arrived. Despite having the feeling of a quiet, remote getaway it is quite close to many attractions including the adorable village of Kenmare where you can grocery shop, enjoy a lovely meal or coffee, or hop on the Ring of Kerry. It’s also a very reasonable driving distance to Killarney where we spent an awesome day at the horse races and driving through Killarney National Park.
The house itself is beautifully redone, but has retained all of its old charm. We especially enjoyed using the wood stove in the family room.
Lorena and Monika were excellent hosts. They were incredibly patient with us when we got lost on the way to Kilgarvan (Monika waited a whole extra hour to meet us and take us to the house), and when we made an error in our booking details about the number of guests.
This is an incredible AirBnB. You will not regret staying here. It was truly a highlight of our two week road trip around the country!
