We've given our stay at Caragh Lake in Eileen & Donal's apartment five stars not only for the beautiful apartment and stunning surroundings but for the hosts. Eileen and Donal were everything that you need in a host. Very accommodating and welcoming as well as always on hand to give us directions and suggestions of what to see and where to eat. All of the little things you forget about on holidays (such as salt,pepper & dishwasher tablets) were all provided which was an excellent and very appreciated touch.
The location itself was ideal,just outside Killorglin town it was peaceful but not too far from all of the stunning places we intended to visit. The apartment is just off one of the main ring of kerry roads and we managed to visit Killarney(30 mins away) as well as Valentia Island and Kells Bay(about an hour). Just 30 minutes down the road is Rossbeigh strand with absolutely stunning views. Well worth a visit and right in the middle of all the major spots in Kerry. There are lovely spots within walking distance along Caragh Lake.
Another great touch was the folder with multiple pamphlets of popular attractions,walking routes as well taxi numbers. The guest info was full of all the things you worry about such as where is the nearest chemist, doctors or shops. It was a fabulous touch and definitely worthy of five stars in itself. We thoroughly recommend staying in Caragh Lake, you will not be disappointed at all.
