Claire's home is a lovely little home, originally a stone one-room cottage that they added on to to raise their family there. Not fancy or updated, but comfortable and rustic. We were a bit cool when we arrived, but once we got the fires lit in the main furnace to heat the radiators and one in the original cottage living room, we were toasty and comfy. The kitchen was bright, well stocked and enjoyable to work in. The location was on the road to the Uragh Stone Circle. If you like such sites, this one is not to be missed. The circle sits within the natural circle of the hills and lakes surrounding. Stunning! and a most solid and dramatic set of stones! Also a short 15 minute drive to Kenmare - a perfect little shopping town with more than one organic food store! We enjoyed the Beara peninsula as it was less crowded than the Iveragh and also beautiful.
