The sitting room patio doors have a lovely view of the ownerâs garden and beyond to fields and a hill. Our daily visitors were robins, wrens and pied wagtails. The lodge is an easy drive into Ballybunion and Listowel in the other direction. We were made to feel very welcome by the friendly couple who own it and our comfort and happiness was their major concern whilst also leaving us in peace to get on with our holiday so many thanks to them. for making our stay so

They were happy to stop and chat but didnât intrude. They frequently came to check that we had all we needed and that everything worked. The house was comfortable spotless and beautifully furnished. Lovely views and we had use of the garden. We felt well looked after and had the most wonderful holiday in this lovely place. Our thanks to Maurice and Angela for a memorable week. We left with a good feeling.

The Kerry coast and countryside is stunning and we couldnât fit everything in that we wanted to do. When the weather wasnât being too kind we had the perfect cosy hideaway to relax in. Maurice and Angela live next door. They are generous hosts offering all the help we needed while respecting our privacy. Weâd love to go back one day.
