Such a beautiful farm and comfortable home! Sinead was an amazing host and was able to answer our dozens of questions about the roads around Ireland and raising sheep. We brought food to enjoy from the English Market in Cork, but Sinead also had fresh eggs from the family’s hens and a fully supplied kitchen for cooking. And, Waterville is so close and has lots of options for eating or groceries. We had a great breakfast at An Corcan, and bought some amazing sweaters at the Skellig gift shop on the way out after our stay.
One thing to know if you’re visiting from the US and relying on Google Maps like us - the “fastest” route from Cork to this location is through the Kerry Highlands. It is absolutely beautiful and we recommend taking this route instead of that half of the Ring of Kerry (apparently it is the less scenic route), but add about 1 hour to the estimated trip time so you can take in the sights and your time on the narrow/1-lane roads.
Thank you Sinead!!!
