Colm's place is superbly located in Beaufort village, just outside of Killarney. The setting is beautiful, quiet, convenient and perfect for exploring the Gap of Dunloe, the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula, Mizenhead and all things Ring of Kerry.
Killarney itself has plenty to do and see including many gorgeous golf courses and gardens.
The apartment has a very comfortable bed, a big living room and partial views of the McGillicuddy mountains - gorgeous at sunset. The kitchen was equipped with milk, coffee, tea, olive oil, herbs, curry, muesli and lots of other goodies. The vast box of beautiful chocolates that Colm and Catherine left for us did not go unappreciated either.
The delightful Beaufort Bar & Restaurant (think Irish pub) is a two minute walk from Colm's. The stone bridge across the Laune River is a 2 minute walk in the other direction and seemingly a hot spot for kayakers.
We loved meeting Colm, his wife, and their increasingly-famous dogs. Colm was always available with great suggestions for places to visit and help when we needed it.
Our stay at Colm's is one of the highlights of our Ireland trip. We hope to stay there again or see Colm and Catherine in Salem!
