Anne is such a lovely host; her welcome is warm and genuine (as is the welcome from her faithful dog Charlie, who was first to meet us and very keen to join in our game of basketball! His "heading" ability is second to none). The cottage is well appointed and has everything that you will need for your stay. It is very warm and cozy; there is an open wood fire but we were warm enough with just the central heating so did not need to light this. We needed a real rest when we got there and Anne was very sensitive to our needs. The Killarney National Park (about 25 mins drive) is just stunningly beautiful and is a must see. Kenmare has a lot of small shops and is well worth an afternoon's visit. Guests must be aware that this is cottage on a working farm and surrounded by working farms so at certain times of the year do expect "farmyard smells". This was no bother to us but just thought you should know.
