Charming house on an old estate sensitively restored. Location is perfect close to many sights of interest and Knightstown, where we enjoyed a light lunch after visiting the slate quarry, Cromwell's Point lighthouse and a surprise to me, the Tetrapod fossilised footprints (oldest in-situ fossilised footprints on planet earth!). A short afternoon drive brought us to Ballinskelligs beach for a bracing swim. It was also perfect for our trip to Skellig Michael as the boats leave from Portmagee only 10 minutes from the house. Nothingt can prepare one for the awe inspiring mo9astery at the top of the Skellig and the extraordinary detaour on teh return journey around the 200,00 strong gannett colony of Skellig Beag: mythical sights to feed the imagination for a lifetime
