Breeda was such a wonderful host that superlatives would run out and would do no justice. From her thoughtful touches, welcoming and friendly approach, meeting us and taking us to her cottage, to her local recommendations and making sure all our answers were questioned and more, there is simply not enough I could say about her kindness and attentiveness ensuring we enjoyed our stay and making it as comfortable as possible. She even provided us with honey she made herself and had freshly baked bread and a cake for us, Breeda went above and beyond in making us feel at home away from home.
The stone cottage itself is absolutely beautiful, located overlooking the lake and surrounded by breathtaking Irish countryside and majestic mountain views. It is spacious, clean, tastefully decorated and just a relaxing retreat in the heart of the Irish coastline countryside surrounded by nature. It is within driving distance to many many places to visit near the Ring of Kerry. The coast is only 15 minutes away, Cahersiveen and Portmagee also within driving distance, meaning the trip to Skellig St.Michael is also very accessible. The night time sky gazing from the front yard was also a highlight for us as we were lucky to have a lovely clear night during our stay.
The local food was fantastic (Dooley's & Smuggler's Inn) recommended by Breeda, all freshly locally sourced ingredients and brilliant hospitality. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay here and if possible, we would without hesitation look to stay here again.
Thank you so much again Breeda and we hope to see you soon.
