The cottage is the most relaxing place to spend some time away- with it's beautiful mountain views and fresh crisp air. Ailish thought of everything! We were welcomed with delicious homemade soda bread, jam, milk, butter and just the most warm and cozy atmosphere. We were able to cook our meals with ease since the kitchen is fully stocked with all of the utensils needed. Everything was really sparkly clean. The book collection was great and included catalogs of places to see in County Kerry, historic books about Ireland, as well as some calming coloring books. The drive in through the Gap of Dunloe was the most breathtaking route we've ever driven. There are some choices of hiking trails in the area with really beautiful views. We especially loved our morning hike up to the lake. Ailish was very responsive and helpful before our arrival. We really enjoyed our long weekend in the cottage and highly recommend staying here.
