James & Kerry are the most naturally gracious hosts. I was in Tralee for a family reunion and spent 5 nights at their place. In between family meet ups and activities, J & K’s home was the perfect place to re-energize and relax. They have a little tea and coffee station for guests and provide a lovely breakfast. I also put a few things from the shop in the fridge.I probably spent more time recharging in the home than the typical tourist exploring the area, but they seem like they’d be equally okay with less interaction. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them over tea in the garden and sipping wine on their cozy couch; not to mention their adorable dog, Daisy, who loves a good cuddle and Tweety, the cream cake loving parrot.
They were great about giving insider, local tips on getting around, restaurants and bars and the like. You have your own bathroom & the bedroom is cozy, quiet with lovely jungle-inspired artwork, plants & decore. As far as location, their home was perfectly located for my needs- close to the road leading out to my family’s home & an easy walk into town on a footpath along a stream.
I left feeling like I made two, no FOUR!, new friends. Do not hesitate to stay with James & Kerry. They are lovely people!
