Jack’s home has a stunning panoramic view and a bar full of locals in the basement which would be enough, but he’s also a great host with clean, comfortable modern rooms, a big kitchen stocked for breakfast, and tips for your trip beyond your stay with him. It’s situated perfectly as a launching point if you want to take the ring counter-clockwise (get out before the buses), though I recommend it as a place to crash after doing the rings. I left Kenmare after lunch and did the Kerry & Skellig rings getting to Jacks about 9pm in time for a drink and sunset. Highly recommend staying with Jack!
