Guests say
Daisy's Cottage in Listowel is praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, comfortable beds, and the property's suitability for children and pets. While some maintenance issues were reported, the owner's responsiveness and the cottage's idyllic location are well-regarded. The property is considered great value for money and a strong base for exploring Kerry.
Most guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-maintained, though one mentioned it was cold, damp, and dusty upon arrival, indicating a possible lapse in upkeep between visits.
The location is frequently praised for its peacefulness and proximity to local amenities, tourist sites, and beaches, making it an excellent base for exploring County Kerry.
The beds are described as very comfortable and the setting peaceful, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, issues with heating and shower temperatures affected the comfort for some guests.
The property is modern with great wifi and a large kitchen/diner. However, there were several reports of maintenance issues such as a broken shower and table leg, and the absence of a microwave, which impacted the score.
While there is a mention of the owners leaving washing powder and dishwasher tablets, there is insufficient information to assess the overall thoughtfulness consistently across reviews, and no mention of gifts to guarantee their provision.

It was spotlessly clean, warm and had everything you could need. Met the owner on arrival, very nice and helpful, provided advice on local amenities. The cottage is modern and spacious, beds were very comfortable, heating easy to use and showers excellent. Very peaceful setting, safe for children and dogs. An excellent base for visiting the tourist sites of Kerry. Would definitely recommend..
