The welcome we got on a rainy misty evening set the tone for our stay. Treasa had the table set with her mum's homemade brown bread and scones, fresh butter and jam and a fire in the grate. It felt like coming home. The cottage is a little gem set in the centre of the village. It is very cosy with lots of soft touches to help the visitor relax. We especially loved all the Skellig pottery. Cooking facilites are excellent and there are plenty of places to access local produce. We both love cooking so this was a lovely bonus. The location is perfect for exploring this most beautiful part of Kerry and Treasa's local knowledge was very helpful. Don't miss a visit to the famine village at Bolus. It really brings the history of that time to life. The beaches nearby are pristine clean with views that are breathtaking. You can walk or drive. 15 to 20 minutes walk will take you to a beach that is perfect for swimming. For anyone interested in photography or painting the light here is amazing. You could sit watching a scene for an hour and it will change several times. And it is an area to take your time to appreciate. There are lots of walks and trails well signposted also, a lovely way to explore if you are feeling fit. There are also some stunning drives with views that will stay in the memory forever. We We will be back Lastly don't miss having a pint or two in Rosie's pub across the road from the cottage. It's the best pint of guinness outside of Dublin.
