The house is a little oasis of serenity in a beautiful part of Ireland. The large garden and trees around add to it. The house is very bright with plenty of windows and skylights. It is very comfortable, and I’d imagine would be even more cosy if either or the two stoves were lighting for the day. There was plenty of firewood available if needed. The original stonework on the house adds to its character and charm. bedrooms were comfortable and well kitted out. The shower in the bathroom was fabulous, and you could switch between a regular shower head and hose or a deluge head. The kitchen and living areas are very spacious. I’ll Claire was in contact before our trip to make sure we didn’t need anything extra and also on arrival to ensure we were settling in. There are loads of helpful instructions left around for using the tv, cooker, etc. There are plenty of containers for holding different recyclables and clearly marked which is which.
Kenmare itself is a 10 minute drive and you are right on the start of the ring of Beara, as well as close to other areas worth a visit like the ring of Kerry, Killarney and Bantry.
