The first thing I noticed as I opened the cottage door was the smell of orange essential oils, mixed with the smell of natural timber and the sweet scent of turf...the place was spotless. Cleanliness level 1000 and I was in Heaven!
It had all the essential mod cons, and a vast library of books ranging from medicinal herbalism, to African art, Irish art and history. Intended or not it was fascinating.An eclectic yet detailed space. The cottage is warm, safe quiet and private. Yet bright, cosy and open to the vastness of the Kerry country side with a window facing every aspect of its surroundings. Cromane strand is about a 10 minute walk along a private road off of Buttercup Farm. 10 minutes drive to Kilorgin and another 30 to Glennbeigh/ Rossbeigh Strand. The view of the sea from the bedroom window is just gorgeous and being able to enjoy my cup of coffee in the morning sitting on the outdoor bench looking at the Drooks mountain range ahead was perfect.
The farm doggos are the cutest, dropping by every now and then to greet the new comers, in this case us. All the lovely turf and wood - the heat of the summer couldnt keep us from lighting a fire, which is fantastic on cold nights and but beware a sauna on summer months. A great stay, I highy recommend it! Well done.
