This is the place to stay if you're visiting the southwestern parts of Ireland. Quick walk into town to shops and pubs and Kenmare is centrally located for numerous activities and sights. Greatly appreciated the recommendation to drive the Ring of Beara instead of the Ring of Kerry, absolutely gorgeous. Can't say enough great things about host and cottage, but if you want to stay in Kenmare this is the place to stay. Added bonus were the occasional visits from Maggie, the cat. Two thumbs up.
