About this property
Tucked away on the outskirts of Kenmare town, in County Kerry is this semi-detached, pet-friendly house, Pebble Lodge. With an enclosed garden, self-catering facilities, and easy access to local amenities and attractions, the property welcomes a family of six to explore a wonderful area of Ireland. Be welcomed by a peaceful, residential street to park up and unload your luggage from the off-road parking space. Hang up your coats and leave your shoes in the hallway, before freshening up in the handy cloakroom, containing a washer and dryer to keep sandy towels and walking gear fresh. Step inside the open-plan living space to sink into the leather sofas in front of the Freeview TV, choose from the selection of books and games, or simply relax and enjoy the warmth of the electric fire; warm wooden furnishings make this a welcoming space! Prepare the table for six, whilst the family chef makes themselves at home in the kitchen area; an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher ensure a stress-free self-catering stay to cook your favourite dishes. End the day's adventures with a hot bubble bath in the upstairs bathroom complete with a shower over and heated towel rail. Each bedroom has been thoughtfully appointed with storage space, bedside tables with reading lamps, and patterned linen; choose the master king-size double with an en-suite shower room, while the 4' double and a twin are just across the landing. Enclosed and pet-friendly, Pebble Lodge also offers plenty of outdoor space to step outside for some fresh air. The characterful centre of Kenmare is within easy reach and hosts supermarkets, general stores, and plenty of traditional Irish pubs and restaurants to choose from; Kenmare is famed for its gourmet, award-winning food! Local attractions include Kenmare Golf Club, Kenmare Stone Circle, and Our Lady's Well, as well as plenty of walks through Reenagross Woodland Park or along the Pier overlooking Kenmare Bay. Ideal for touring, the town sits amidst breath-taking scenery where you can join two famous trails to cover the best sights: The Ring of Kerry and The Ring of Beara. The area is dotted with historical landmarks, sandy coves and beautiful beaches along the bay, as well as Killarney National Park for hiking up rugged mountains, marvelling at waterfalls, or take a tour of the 15th-century Ross Castle. Stop off in the town of Killarney on the shores of Lough Leane to wander Killarney House and Gardens and stop for lunch, before heading to Muckross House and the nearby Torc Waterfall. If you're seeking a bigger adventure, why not plan a hike up Carrauntoohil for unforgettable vistas up Ireland's highest mountain? There's something for everyone with a stay at Pebble Lodge

House was home from home if my home was kept spotless. Great garden for my comrade (dog) even though it was very funny at beginning to see him trying to walk on the stoned garden. He managed it in the end. I will definitely return.

Some short walks close by but majority of sights further afield, at least 1hr by car. Always good to find somewhere dog friendly and enclosed back is great. Minor issue with TV failure sorted quickly. Very friendly host and welcome basket much appreciated. Only issue was some of the beds not the most comfortable. Otherwise, the house had everything needed.
