Gillians place is really superb. The house itself is about a 10 minute drive from waterville and a 15 minute drive from cahirsiveen for any grocery shopping, cafe bar etc you need. You will need a car to get around. The house was wonderfully clean and the main living area has a lovely open plan with a large kitchen and a great big cooker. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage downstairs. We loved sitting next to the big open stove fire with lots of turf after a long day on the move. The WiFi was also excellent when we needed it.
The views all around the house are simply stunning. There is a great sense of peace and tranquility about the place and watching the moon set I've the mountains and the stars at nighttime was magical.
The hot tub was a great bonus. Very easy to use and warm.
I would recommend the boat trip to skelig Michel, a trip to skelig chocolate factory and cafe on a wet morning, Derrynane and ballinskelligs beach are nearby, a trip to dingle and the aquarium, Valentina island and portmagee, maybe a day in Killarney.
Overall this is one of the finest homes we have stayed in and offered everything that the beautiful county of Kerry is famous for. Would highly recommend a stay at Gillians place.
