We are new to Airbnb and this was only our second experience. Our first port of call a couple of days earlier was terrific, but we felt we’d struck gold with Nick and Donal’s Kingfisher Retreat accommodation. It was extremely spacious and so comfortable and fitted out to a very high spec. There was a delicious soda bread loaf waiting for us plus a bottle of Prosecco, 2 cans of Guinness, butter and milk, plus lots of other useful items such as tea, coffee, salt, pepper, sauces, cooking oil etc.
The patio with table, chairs and loungers, overlooked a lovely little river, but unfortunately because the weather wasn’t terrific, we weren’t able to take advantage of this to sit out for our meals looking out for the kingfishers.
We had a very warm welcome from Nick and Donal and had lots of useful advice on the best places to visit and good restaurants to try. Kenmare is a very short drive away and is a delightful market town with lots of lovely independent shops, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. When we visited (Wednesday) it was market day with lots of lovely stalls selling fruit, veg, meat, fish, as well as craft stalls.
We had a great time and would definitely like to return again. We highly recommend Nick and Donal’s Kingfisher Retreat.
