Fantastic location!

Absolutely stunning place! The beautiful, safe beach is just a few minutes walk away. Perfect location to explore all that the Ring of Kerry and further afield has to offer. It was definitely helped by the most perfect weather for the whole week too!! The house was lovely, and has everything you’d need.

Excellent family home

We had a fabulous week at this house the location is beautiful, so close to the beach and nearby villages, lots of things to do near and far. The house had absolutely everything we needed for the week, and was a lovely family home, and was clean. The bonus for the kids was the pool table and games. A few repairs are needed though, broken chairs, broken taps, windows sellotaped and dirty and broken lights and no light bulbs in some rooms. There is also no barbecue that was in the listing and the microwave didn't work. Not big things so could be easily fixed for a more enjoyable stay. Although didn't put us off enjoying our holiday or spending time in the house, you can tell its a well loved family holiday home

A spacious, comfortable well equipped home in a fabulous location with wonderful views

We had a great time in this wonderful house. Plenty of space for 7 of us. The kitchen has everything you need including a stunning view of the coast. 5 minutes downhill walk from a lovely sandy cove to swim and kayak. Derrynane nature reserve and house a short drive. On rainy days jigsaws, pool, games and a great collection of books to entertain. It was the perfect homely place to celebrate my 60th with family. Kathleen, the housekeeper made us feel very welcome. Thank you.
