If you’re looking to explore rural Ireland, and especially if you’re specifically wanting to drive the Ring of Kerry, this place is PERFECT.
The place itself is excellently laid out, and is ideal for two, though it could three easier and four if everyone was easygoing about ‘personal space’. The pictures are all accurate, and perhaps don’t even do proper justice to just how comfy and homey, albeit stylish and modern, the place is. Bed is super comfy, as is the TV room. All the amenities you need — washer/dryer, fridge, and some provided soap, coffee, tea — the nice little touches.
The location of the place could not be better. Simply turn right, and keep curving around for some 111 miles and you’ve done the Ring of Kerry! It will be the most beautiful drive you’ve ever made in your life, and it’s all right out in front of your space. That said, the place is set back from the road, and is in a quieter area, so you’ll never feel like you’re by a busy, trafficked area. The town center of Cahersiveen is just 3 minutes drive down the road, and is truly the perfect Kerry town — not inundated with tourists like Kenmare, Killarney, or Dingle, so locals are friendly and welcoming, and it also has great eateries nearby (Cafesiveen for breakfast and The Point for seafood dinner will be some of you all time favorite eats if you’re a foodie-traveler).
Last, but not least, Darina is a truly excellent Air BnB host. She doesn’t bother, but she’s always available to answer questions and provide assistance. My wife and I needed a power adapter, and she made sure we had one straight away, which I think was essentially her lending is her personal one. Such a nice person!
When — not if — I return to Kerry, I’ll be staying at Darina’s place again. Perfect place, perfect location, perfect host. The Air BnB experience you dream about!
