We stayed a week in Kirstin's cottage. Although we didn't get a chance to meet Kirstin, Julia was there to greet us and could not have been more helpful and friendly. The location is perfect--walking distance to the shops, pubs, restaurants, and also the beautiful Reenagross woodland park for a pleasant walk. An excellent base for day trips. The wifi was weak to non-existent for the first day or two, until Julia brought a booster by and then it was spot-on. The bathroom is large, with great hot water and pressure. Two things to be aware of are that the television only receives two stations (not a problem for me but a bit of an adjustment for a sports-loving husband), and the bathroom is downstairs at the other end of the cottage, as stated in the description. This is an important issue if there are mobility issues or if frequent bathroom visits are required in the night, as the stairs are quite steep and a bit slippery. We had a great stay in Kenmare and would recommend!
