Shepherds Cottage is in the most spectacular of locations and visitors are fortunate to have the chance to stay there. The cottage amenities are very good and the local wildlife that you can see there is just amazing. You must have a robust vehicle as the access road is long and variable. To enjoy this property to its fullest you must also be fairly fit and safety conscious too as the area is amazing to walk in. It is a wild place so you must be properly dressed and equipped and use a guide if you intend to go any further than the immediate surroundings. Although a fair way from a town or village, most things can be got at the Blackwater Tavern a little way back down the road. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful. If you don't mind driving on narrow roads you can experience places like the Gap of Dunloe and other breathtaking places along the Kerry Way. You will have an unforgettable stay.
