Mike
Well furnished and equipped for self catering.Lovely views from all rooms especially kitchen., There were six adults in our group so having 2 en suits and a family bathroom was great. Joan our host was very welcoming and briefed us well on how things worked. Taxis were easy to get even for six of us. We had a wonderful family week in Kerry as usual.

Kitchen and lounge areas especially good, there was plenty of space for two families and it waa all very relaxing. Owner best contacted via whatsapp. It was remote enough for me to see the perseid shower, and near enough to killarney to have easy access to supermarkets, torc waterfall and the kerry way. Car or high viz is definitely required, as roads are often narrow with sharp bends.

The furniture is comfortable and the property is well maintained. Having the books and magazines with local and county destination ideas was very helpful with filling down time and finding things we already had in mind. Joan shared some destination ideas that we visited that were very enjoyable too. Joan is a friendly, helpful, generous and gracious host. The house is only about 5 minutes away from Killarney, which makes provisioning, eating out, shopping and pub hopping conveniently close by. That also means it is only 5 minutes away from Killarney National Park and the Ring Of Kerry. From this house we were also able to go to Blarney Castle and Dingle peninsula, so its location provides access to many fun destinations around the south and south west of Ireland. Atop a hill at the edge of the mountains, inspiration and exploration beckon everywhere you look from the yard and through the windows. Motivation awakens with the first light that greets when you rise to meet the day. I couldn't have wanted a better house or landscape call home for a week.
