Gerry’s holiday house property in Kenmare was the first place our family stayed after our arrival in Ireland, and we were delighted with our stay there. The home was spacious with three bedrooms, three baths, and a generous-sized kitchen including a dining room table seating six.
We had some difficulty estimating our arrival time in Kenmare since we drove from the Dublin airport and stopped at the Rock of Cashel on the way to Kenmare; Gerry was exceedingly flexible about our arrival time, telling us not to worry at all since he lives nearby.
We very much appreciated all of the special touches of the place — the warming fireplace, the well-stocked kitchen with its fragrant cupboards, the patio with chairs and table and a tiered and landscaped flower bed. Finally, Gerry was friendly and informative, giving us tips on where to eat and where to take lovely walks. We began our first day with the walk he recommended and found ourselves immersed in the breathtaking flora and fauna of Kenmare, passing cows, rows of hydrangea and wild fuchsia bushes, and over a dozen varieties of the stone fences for which Ireland is famous. Thanks for all of your hospitality, Gerry. We had a wonderful time!
