We had a wonderful stay in the Ring of Kerry Cottage owned by Margaret. She was kind enough to meet us late (very late) when we took longer than anticipated to reach the rental. The home is spacious, and was very neat and tidy. Margaret was easy to reach, and seemed available in a moments notice. She kindly left us provisions for breakfast- yummy bread, butter, milk, coffee and tea. She also came to the rescue with washing powder when I had forgotten mine. The house has wonderful views of the ocean through the front windows. My children enjoyed running around the expansive back yard as well. The decor is a bit dated, but, again, neat and tidy, and in my opinion, charming. Very safe location as well. The town of Caherciveen is wonderful. We spent two days exploring Valentia Island- stunning! This is NOT the place for anyone looking for shop after shop of tourist trinkets (plastic shamrocks, leprechauns). It IS the place for anyone wanting a relaxing taste of beautiful Ireland.
