This was an amazing place that I hope to visit again!
The apartment very comfortable, the kitchen better equipped than own at home. Dessy was fantastic host, very helpful and responsive. I could not have asked for a better trip, host, or place stay.
As for location, it shares a yard with a church and a pub and is a block away from an art gallery. There are 2 beaches within a 10 min walk as well castle & abbey ruins. There are two beaches, a general store, and a tea shop within a 10 minute walk as well. Slightly longer (but still quite gentle) walks lead to an old signal tower, monastic ruins, skellig island viewpoint, a famine village retreat centre, a chocolate factory (with free samples), and a WWII memorial.
Great place visit, I highly recommend!
