Wonderfull place in a very fashioned cottage; the stay was maybe to short but wondefull too Reach the place was not so easy but anyway well placed for the main attractions of the ring of Kerry

It is ideal for a family wishing to tour the area on a budget. Charlie was extremely welcoming and accommodating, he kindly gave us extra peat for the fire on our first night. It was pleasing to find all the amenities like a washing machine to keep up with our holiday necessities.
