We returned to this fantastic place for a second year. This is a magical little slice of heaven. The views are outstanding. Watching the weather move across the mountains is captivating and one can spend hours just sitting and enjoying how the water and mountains change with the sky.
The house is spacious and comfortable. There are three bedrooms with a Jack and Gill bathroom between the master and twin room. All is clean, and working. The heating is really good if needed. The kitchen is well equipped with good pots and pans and utensils. There is a drip coffee maker.
Wifi is pretty good. There are TVs with the Irish channels. The wifi isn't always good enough to watch Netflix on the smart TV in the sitting room. But to be honest, with so much to do, and so much to see, TV isn't really a priority.
There are views from literally every window in the house so you never get bored. Quite often there are deer in the garden right outside the windows. On the property there are loads of geese, ducks and hens, all living their best lives, and you can get delicious free range eggs on site.
Martin and Brigid are always available for any advice or help. They are very pleasant and thoughtful, and clearly want to make sure their guests have the best time possible.
You can walk out the door and up a mountain into wilderness, or drive ten minutes to either the sea or lakes for swimming. Kenmare is only 15 minutes away by car. The drive to the house on the private road takes five of those minutes. It's totally secluded and quiet and peaceful. At night the sky is huge and filled with stars. No air or noise pollution.
I love this place and will be back again for sure. Thank you Martin and Brigid
