The basement apartment was in a wonderful location and Kenmare is a fantastic village! Everything is walkable and there are some great restaurants and pubs. A lot of the shops were closed for the season but we traveled in November so that was to be expected. The only criticism I have of the apartment was that it was a lot colder than we expected. There were plug in heaters provided but it took a couple of days for it to be comfortable. Again it was a bit colder weather than expected and there are wood stoves. We just arrived back in the evenings to start them before bed. Overall a great place to base yourself in Kenmare.
