We had a wonderful second stay in this lovely and well-equipped cottage, which felt perfectly comfortable and welcoming. The breathtaking view over the Kerry mountains and Kenmare Bay makes it a truly special place to return to.

Lovely all around... The cottage was clean, comfortable, light and bright, with beautiful views of the bay. The setting was private and peaceful. A well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds helped make our long stay feel like a home-away-from-home ideal getaway.

This was our 3rd or 4th stay in the property but have been coming to the area for last 15yrs. The house is beautiful with everything you might need. The view is stunning. It is quiet and close to pub and restaurants. The Beara Peninsula has much to offer for all ages. We will be booking again.
