Maire was a lovely host. The setting of the cottage is idyllic with great views. The house was tastefully updated with beautiful views. We loved the turf fire and the kids really enjoyed playing outside and their cute bedrooms. This house has a simplicity that preserves many features of its era but provides the necessary comforts. It was February in Ireland so we did keep the fire going, but the central heating would have been enough we just preferred the stove! Maire and Micheal also provided all we needed for breakfast. The location is great for the Ring of Kerry, Valentia and the Skelligs. We plan to go back!
