We absolutely loved our week at this peaceful, modern, immaculately clean get-away at Eileen and Donals place at Caragh Lake. The accommodation was well above and beyond all of our expectations! The house was stocked with everything we would need and even more.
The kitchen had all the little extras we needed. It also has a plentiful selection of cutlery which easily covered our family of 4, a vast selection of cooking accessories for all your cooking needs and all the appliances are as new. The utility room just of the kitchen was stocked with a few cleaning supplies, a washing machine with washing powder and even a popup clothes drying rack in case of bad weather. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. It had loads of storage with a hairdryer in the top drawer and shampoo dispensers in the shower. The main bathroom had a jacuzzi bath with Epson salts, bubble bath and candles really showing the attention to detail that Eileen and Donal give to each stay. The living area was very cosy with the corner couch that converts into a bed very quickly. The 50" smart LG tv was amazing to have with the kids, they were able to watch Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime etc no buffering issues at all with the WiFi being fast throughout the accommodation. The table in the Living Room has the house booklet which was very thorough and another pouch that had a wealth of information on nearby activities. The front and rear outdoor areas have an abundance of seating with a Weber BBQ which would be perfect in nice weather.
This accommodation is located on the ring of Kerry between Killorglin and Glenbeigh. Ideally situated for all of our exploring. With our two young kids (7/9) we visited Glenbeigh fairy forest, Rossbeigh strand and Portmagee for a non-landing boat tour to Skellig. Both Tralee and Killarney are a 40min drive from here. Killarney has the Gap of Dunloe and Killarney National Park - a good place to rent a bike. Dingle is a 1-hour drive away with Inch beach halfway. Oceanworld Aquarium is actually surprisingly good and the kids enjoyed it but you must book in advance online. Castlegregory - Splash Sports - is a set of inflatable trampolines, obstacle courses etc on the sea only 20euro for 2 hours, real value for money! Didn't get a chance to visit Caragh Lake even though it’s a 3-minute drive away, definitely an excuse to get back here again.
You won't be disappointed in this gem of a place, thank you Eileen and Donal for an amazing home away from home. We will be back again soon!
