Kirstin provided a detailed information pack well in advance of the trip which we used throughout our visit. There was also lseveral visitors guides in the house and maps. There's lots to see and do in Kenmare and it is well placed to visit the surrounding countryside. I liked the central location of the house as it is very convenient for all amenities: for example, the spa at Kenmare Park hotel, the Heritage walk and the food shopping at Lidl. The house has it's own character, charm and authenticity so I was fascinated by the information on how the cottages were re-claimed. When we were tired of sight-seeing there was a good selection of DVDs to watch on quiet nights in. Julia was there to greet us and happy to answer all our questions in person. Thank you Kristin for a holiday to remember, kind regards, Christine
