We arrived late in the evening, in a rain storm and everyone we told ahead of time warned us to be careful in the dark. We didn’t fully understand until we got on the Ring of Kerry. The roads are incredibly narrow in spots, so it was good we came in at night because we could see headlights if there was oncoming traffic. Just take your time.
The cottage was perfect! Exactly what we were looking for. Sinead met us late and had a fire going, took 5 minutes to go through everything we needed to know. We enjoyed the fire and a little tv before retiring. She left us some eggs and breakfast essentials so in the morning we enjoyed farm fresh eggs! Hot shower, though we just can’t get used to the slight water pressure in Ireland. Nice clean towels and all the amenities we needed to get ready for the day. The only thing that didn’t agree with me was the bed. It was in fabulous condition with nice warm comforter, but the mattress is firmer than I like; perfect for someone who loves a firm foundation.
Sinead is so kind to open her grandparents home up to the public, it’s a true taste of rural Ireland at its very best. The home was spotless when we arrived, we had plenty of privacy and it was nice and warm. In the morning when the sun came up, we realized how beautiful the area actually was, with sheep just footsteps from the front door! Charming and lovely, thank you Sinead!
