We had a great time as a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids aged 9, 6 and 3) in the quiet and peace of the Kerry countryside. Used the house as a base to explore, from Kenmare in one direction as far as Glenbeigh in the other direction -- and whatever we found along the way inbetween. House was a good size for our needs, and the kids enjoyed the sitting by the fire in the evenings (no fireplace at home, hence the novelty.) The nearby Blind Piper was great for a meal one night, and availed of shops within 10-15 minutes drive from the house for other provisions. Lavinia was responsive throughout, and very easygoing when our arrival time changed at short notice.
