Best of the best - 5 stars. At lakeside lodge you can expect beautiful home nestled on the edge of the most idyllic lake in the heart of Kerry. Surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Ireland and most scenic drives. Frankly I would recommend just relaxing on the patio in front of house and watching the fish jump literally a few feet from you. It incredibly beautiful, quiet and relaxing. If you feel more adventurous you can drive 20 minutes to Carrauntoolhil (highest mountain in Ireland) and hike up it. Rosarie was incredibly helpful in finding a guide and I can honestly say one of the attentive hosts I’ve ever had pleasure of meeting. I can also recommend short 5 minute drive to Blackstone - beautiful river and bridge. Perfect trip and a truly magical location.
