We had a very nice stay. Alva was very flexible and accommodating with my booking. The cottage is very comfortable, and well appointed, especially the kitchen and bedrooms. Materials were provided for a fire in the lounge fireplace, though we didn't use it. Wifi worked quite well, and it was nice having a parking space right in front. The nice supervisor, Karen, met us, gave us the keys, and provided good advice on local facilities we could use; she had provided milk for us, and there were tea/coffee/sugar and even small biscuits in one of the cupboards. The cottage is easy walking distance to the town center. We never quite figured out the "dryer" function of the single appliance (partly our own unfamiliarity), but the washer worked quite well and a detergent packet was provided. Would highly recommend Alva's cottage for anyone planning to stay in Kenmare (which is a very neat town, by the way).
