The Old Stones Cottage was a nice place to stay. Great location with close proximity to many special places on the Ring of Kerry. Beautiful view of Valentia Island, great stone fireplace, well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Being an old stone cottage, it is inherently cold in fall and winter. It’s better suited to summertime and/or larger groups that will add warmth and liveliness to the space. There were just two of us so it felt cold and empty. Be sure to bring firewood and matches, which were not supplied. Having a fire in that gorgeous fireplace livens the house up immensely. There’s also an extra charge for heating and hot water which is detailed on the website, but buried deep within the house rules. It cost us 28 Euros for the three days we stayed. By following their tips and only using the heat during the short periods we were there and turning it off at night, we were able to keep the expense to about 9 Euros a day. But that meant waking up to a cold bathroom each morning and coming home to a cold house each night.
