Granny Mary gave us a great welcome and was very friendly. The location is good, 10 minutes drive outside Kenmare, with lovely views. We rented the whole house (two couples), and had some negative issues regarding cleanliness, an unpleasent smell, and other things to do with the house and bathrooms which I have shared privately with the hosts. It looks much better and more luxurious in the photos than in real life. The ensuite bathrooms are really tiny and our tall American friend had great trouble squeezing himself on and off the loo!! There is a lack of places to unpack or hang clothes in the blue room and in the four poster room as the host's clothes were still in the wardrobe. On a positive note the beds are really comfortable and Helen sounds lovely in her communications with me. We did not meet the couple as they were away. With a bit more care and attention to detail this could be a much nicer place to stay.
