We arrived at Kirstin's lovely home in Kenmare and were greeted by Julia, who fully oriented us to the features of the attached stone cottage at the rear where we stayed. The location was ideal, right in the centre of town and close to the pubs and other venues of the Kenmare Irish Traditional Music Festival, which we attended. A number of restaurants were steps away, including a special one, Packies. There were three of us, and the accommodations were comfortable, with two bedrooms. A special amenity for us was the outdoor area, secluded within stone walls, making it a great spot to sit with a glass of wine.
