Wonderful location and spacious property
Because of inclement weather we spent a whole weekend inside this property, only only popping out to eat. . It provided everything we could need! In addition we had visits from the local deers morning and evening. Simply delightful!

Lovely property
The cottage was easy to find, in a nice location, with a lovely view of the Kenmare River. We wanted a cottage that was private and within a short drive into Kenmare and it was. A short hike away was a trail marked for the Ring of Beara. We didn't walk it but we did see others on this trail and another trail within a short distance. The cottage was well supplied with various hiking trail brochures and things to do for all ages in the area. There wasn't anything that we needed that wasn't already in the cottage. The rooms were clean and spacious but cozy and very nicely and comfortably furnished. Excellent water pressure for showers with plenty of clear hot water. There was a patio and garden with table & chairs between the house and large front yard that offered plenty of room for children or adults to play games. We were also able to occasionally hear and see small red deer. The owner, Jer Foley, was easily accessible. The location is perfect for day trips to several interesting activities. We look forward to staying at this property again & highly recommend.

Ring of Kerry base
We visited Kenmare with the intention of doing a quick tour of the Ring of Kerry. This rental was everything we were looking for. Quiet and spacious with a great view. Description was very accurate. The pub where you pick up the keys - O’Donnabhain’s - is also great for a bite and a pint (or more). Kenmare in general is a cute town with plenty to offer.

Beautiful setting, lovely home, very well maintained, perfect location to be near Kenmare
This is a tranquil setting with an amazing view of the Kenmare River and the mountains beyond. The house is spacious, filled with light and very comfortable. Jer Foley, the owner, is very responsive to questions and requests.

Lovely property and location for a complete rest.
The property is located in a raised location with fabulous views out across the river to the mountain. The house was nicely furnished and equipped with everything you need. Thank you to Jer for all his help during our stay. Hope to return again soon.

Schönes Haus in ruhiger Lage
Das Haus liegt etwa 5 Kilometer außerhalb von Kenmare in sehr ruhiger Lage mit einem zweiten Haus auf dem riesigen Grundstück, das man aber nicht sieht. Die Ausstattung stimmt mit der Beschreibung überein. Die Schlüssel holt man im Pub des Besitzers ab, zusammen mit einer Beschreibung, einem Wifi-Gerät von Vodafone und einem Umschlag für die Abrechnung von Strom und Gas. Bleibt alles bei der Abreise im Haus liegen. Das Wifi-Gerät hatte ein ausgeschöpftes Datenvolumen, wir haben es problemlos im Pub umgetauscht. Kleinere Mängel sind zwei/drei blinde Scheiben und teilweise schwergängige Fenster. Wir hatten wegen eines Sturms einen Stromausfall, als wir abends von einer Tagestour wiederkamen - Jer hatte schon Teelichter vorbeigebracht und kam zwischendurch noch einmal um anzubieten, in ein anderes Haus umzuziehen oder noch Holz für den Kamin zu besorgen. Nach einer Stunde lief aber wieder alles. Der Außenbereich ist sehr schön angelegt, wir hatten aber aufgrund des schlechten Wetters keine Gelegenheit, die Terrasse zu nutzen. Insgesamt hatten wir eine schöne Zeit dort.

Great place
We enjoyed our holidays very much. As advertized the holiday home is in a remote and quiet place in the midst of nature. The view over the lake is stunning. It is also an ideal location to go hiking in the surrounding beautiful area.

Ruhiges und großes Cottage mit Blick auf die Bucht
Das Cottage liegt sehr ruhig an einem Hang. Nachts stehen Rehe vor dem Fenster auf der Wiese, Kinder können krach machen und toben. Die 2 Schlafzimmer sind sehr großzügig angelegt. Die Whirlpoolbadewanne ist etwas laut, aber hat unserem Sohn viel Spass gemacht. Die Küche ist sehr groß, leider ist es etwas eng von der Küche zum Esstisch, da man immer an der Couch vorbei muß, aber das ist nicht weiter tragisch. Der Kamin ist voll funktionsfähig und die Heizung auch, so dass das Cottage schnell beheizt werden kann falls nötig. Wir würden das Cottage wieder nehmen.

Prachtig huis
Prachtig huis met heel veel ruimte. De tuin is schitterend met veel konijnen en soms heb je het geluk dat je hertjes ziet. Eigenlijk zijn er alleen maar voordelen behalve het onderhoud aan de buitenkant van het huis dat kan wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken. Wij hebben er een heerlijke week gehad en zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.
