Yes, the property really is as majestic as it looks. Overlooking some of the country’s most scenic mountains, Judi’s home was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. A walking trail close to the house gave us views as spectacular as nearly any we saw around the Ring of Kerry.
We’d never stayed in a real B&B before and we were worried it might be awkward. It was anything but. We were greeted by dogs who were as warm and welcoming as the hosts. From Judi’s invaluable travel tips (which really helped us plan our vacation) to the incredibly generous breakfasts (which featured amazing local cheeses and jams and remarkable fresh bread from Jonathan), the whole experience was flawless. Easily the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at, and the shower had an endless reserve of hot water. There are also a few pubs just a five minute drive away, including the Anvil, which we enjoyed so much we returned there for a second meal.
Our only regret is that we weren’t able to stay much longer. It’s an easy day trip to so many prime attractions (including Dingle, just 40 minutes away) that you could easily spend five or six nights there without running out of things to experience.
