What a wonderful stay we had here. From the very beginning, Eileen (the caretaker and also the nicest woman in Ireland) met us in Cahersiveen and showed us to the cottage which was located in a beautiful remote setting next door to Ballycarbery Castle. We were spoilt rotten on our arrival with a roaring fire and a selection of delicious home baked buns on the kitchen table. The cottage had all the old world charm but appeared to have been newly restored. It was immaculate throughout. The bed linen was pristine and the sofas were brand new and so comfy...there was everything you would need for a little escape to the Irish countryside... Crockery, games, tv, iron, hairdryer, an umbrella at the door, big garden with lovely furniture ( for when the sun is out ) the list goes on. Maggie has went to a lot of effort to leave you wanting for nothing. It really is the perfect getaway.
Location wise... This cottage is a perfect base for exploring the Ring of Kerry... On our first day we went for a short drive and found ourselves on the Ring of Skelligs, following signs for Kerry's most spectacular cliffs and wow they certainly were. This is a must if you stay here at Maggies. The view of Skellig Michael from the Cliffs is nothing short of Majestic! Valentia Island is a short drive/ferry away also. Derrynane beach (prob the nicest beach in Ireland is a must also which is close to the next town over Caherdaniel. What's not to love about Kerry... It's absolutely stunning.
If you choose to stay in Maggies I guarantee you won't be disappointed. We had the best week here and look forward to returning again hopefully in the near future.
Thank you Maggie and thank you Eileen also :)
