We loved it here. Markus is a very welcoming host and his place is lovely. The house is very comfortable and well equipped, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The place is about 5 mins drive from Kenmare (10 mins by bike, less than an hour to walk on a very quiet, attractive road), which is a great town - characterful, good cafes and pubs, less spoiled by tourism than many towns, and three supermarkets to choose from. We felt we only scratched the surface in terms of exploring the local area but it's stunning - beautiful, relatively quiet, wonderful hills and coastline. Like anywhere on the west coast of Ireland the weather is a lottery and incredibly changeable but it's worth putting up with that for the beauty of the place and the warmth of the welcome. Markus recommended some amazing beaches and we found some great quiet swimming spots. We would definitely go back. Highly recommended.
