The perfect Irish cottage in the idyllic countryside! We loved the place as soon as we walked in the door -- it is a very cozy but spacious house with horses next door and sheep across the street. Breda left us milk, butter and homemade bread for when we arrived, her husband helped organise our boat trip through the Killarney National Park lakes, and he came to check on us before we left to ensure we had a great stay. Couldn't have been any more hospitable!
My husband and I walked through the Gap of Dunloe (7.5 miles - approx. 3 hours) and my parents took a horse-drawn jaunting car (€25 per person) through the Gap and met us at the bottom where we caught our boat (€20 per person). We then took a taxi (€25) back to Kate Kearney's cottage where we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening -- charming atmosphere, delicious food, traditional live music! To top off the day we walked back to Dunloe Cottage underneath a starlit sky..breathtaking.
