Besi and Vera welcomed us warmly to their beautifully renovated holiday home. They live in the a nearby farmhouse and usually on hand if something or advice is needed. Besi operates an outdoor adventure business so definitely worth consulting if contemplating a trek. The surroundings are hilly and dramatic and an early walk in along the farm tracks may bring you face to face with wild Japanese deer. The extensive grounds to their home have been cultivated as a sculpture garden and Vera likes to walk her guests around to see all the exhibits that have taken her so many years to make. Nearby Kenmare is an attractive, bustling little town with good shops and plenty of restaurants/bars and day trips to Cork, Ring of Kerry Mizen head quite achievable from the location. Irish roads are a pleasure with little of the pushy driving that one experiences, so often, in the UK. If you're not keen on dogs, you may change your mind after meeting the resident hounds including an adorable puppy called Manouk. Would heartily recommend Robin's Nest and hope to stay again.
