We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It's perfect for a family vacation by the water in Kenmare. It's in a great location and very easy to find.

The cabin was exactly as shown in the photos. It's a comfortable space for five/six people - the kitchen is large enough for cooking in, the bedrooms are all a good size. The log stove in the lounge area is great and we enjoyed a few log fires even though it's still quite warm out. Wood/logs were not supplied - we bought some nearby in Kenmare.

The deck area outside is lovely and the hot tub is wonderful! There is a nice outdoor table and benches on the deck too which we used a lot to eat outdoors. There is no BBQ - we brought along our own.

The steps down to the beach were quite overgrown and a little difficult for my parents (in their 60s) to manage, but the view down at the water made it all worthwhile. You can see a good distance in both directions and it's a really beautiful viewpoint for sunrise/sunset. We were hoping to launch our small fishing boat from the cabin's slipway but the access wasn't suitable.

Cara and her family left us to enjoy our holiday, and apart from seeing her son and husband briefly at the start of the week, we didn't see them again until we checked out. The cabin is nicely situated in a private area near the water and away from their own house so you do feel as though you have your own privacy.

Some tips for future guests - bring bottled water (not sure the tap water is drinkable as it is light brown in colour) and any specific utensils (e.g. can opener, sharp knives, place mats) as I think these have disappeared over the course of lots of guests staying.
