Very disappointed in the service and the property. The staff did not seem to want to welcome or interact with us and the pictures were quite misleading. The place itself was not particularly historic or charming and was quite far from the waterfront without any views in sight.

Mid-Kerry Stay.
Great location in a small beach town. Lovely owners whom were kind to chat with. Dinner in house was the best Italian I’ve had and I’ve traveled all around Italy. Wonderful place to stay a night in the middle of the Ring of Kerry. Coffee at the Fox Coffee wagon was the best in Ireland.

We were not expected even booked a stay 6-7 weeks
There were no any communications from the property owners, we have arrived during check in window and the owners were surprised they have guests. The room was clean, ok comfortable, the lady seems irritated, maybe had a bad day.
