Because of inclement weather we spent a whole weekend inside this property, only only popping out to eat. . It provided everything we could need! In addition we had visits from the local deers morning and evening. Simply delightful!

Lovely property
The cottage was easy to find, in a nice location, with a lovely view of the Kenmare River. We wanted a cottage that was private and within a short drive into Kenmare and it was. A short hike away was a trail marked for the Ring of Beara. We didn't walk it but we did see others on this trail and another trail within a short distance. The cottage was well supplied with various hiking trail brochures and things to do for all ages in the area. There wasn't anything that we needed that wasn't already in the cottage. The rooms were clean and spacious but cozy and very nicely and comfortably furnished. Excellent water pressure for showers with plenty of clear hot water. There was a patio and garden with table & chairs between the house and large front yard that offered plenty of room for children or adults to play games. We were also able to occasionally hear and see small red deer. The owner, Jer Foley, was easily accessible. The location is perfect for day trips to several interesting activities. We look forward to staying at this property again & highly recommend.

Would recommend 100%
We recently stayed in the house and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The house was spotless and cosy with beautiful views. It’s in a great location, 5mins drive from Kenmare town. Jer was very accommodating and helpful. We are already looking forward to taking another break there soon.

Go ahead and book - you will have the perfect holiday!
Jer , I'd like to say that we had a fabulous time and congratulate you on your fantastic standard of accommodation. It had a very luxurious fit out with every modern convenience. The house had the most stunning views. I just loved my early morning cup of coffee watching the deer outside. The house had plenty of space with each bedroom having en suite along with a Jacuzzi bath. The WiFi was super fast. The grounds and garden were beautiful and private. Kenmare was only 4km away. We didn’t want to leave! And will be back next year
Go ahead and book - you will have the perfect holiday!

Lovely House for Peaceful Stay
This was a lovely house only a couple of miles from town but with beautiful views and surrounded by nature - visiting deer in the large garden at morning and evening. Quick spin to town and plenty of options for drives, walks or cycles. Large rooms and great patio. Already booked again for next year.

We visited Kenmare with the intention of doing a quick tour of the Ring of Kerry. This rental was everything we were looking for. Quiet and spacious with a great view. Description was very accurate. The pub where you pick up the keys - O’Donnabhain’s - is also great for a bite and a pint (or more). Kenmare in general is a cute town with plenty to offer.

Nice house however poor quality service
Truly nice house located in a beautiful area of Kenmare. The house is large enough and well equipped (except for the dishes and plates). The house is however getting old and would need some works (the heating system, some of the windows).
We were disappointed by the wifi which is limited. After 5 days the wifi connection was turned off. I went to the pub of the owner to see what was the problem and I was welcomed in a rude manner "I cannot help call this number" (no "sorry for the inconvenience caused" or so)... I took us 4 days to have the wifi back, and only for 3 days, because it was turned off again...
So in a nutshell a beautiful house but with a disappointing customer service.

Great Holiday Home
Wonderful house in a great location about about 5 miles from Kenmare.
The house is very spacious and clean with spectacular views. The owner was very helpful and friendly
The condition of the sofa in the sitting room is poor and some windows ( sitting room and master bedroom) have problems with condensation inbetween the double glazing which means a loss of the beautiful view.
An extra large towel per person would be very welcome because the house has two bubble baths.
Overall a great holiday home !

Beautiful setting, lovely home, very well maintained, perfect location to be near Kenmare
This is a tranquil setting with an amazing view of the Kenmare River and the mountains beyond.

Comfortable stay in a beautiful part of the world
A good position 2 miles from Kenmare with views over the estuary.
Very spacious and comfortable accommodation for 4 people.
Did not read details of hire properly and ended up paying €30 for calor gas heating (Water only) and electricity.
With access to a good dishwasher, it would be nice to have more cutlery and crockery to fill it up.
Recommended and we will return.

Perfect location for a quiet getaway
We had a fantastic stay at this property. It was so well equipped and the location was very special, so quiet and peaceful and only a short drive into Kenmare. Our kids loved the space the house offered. Jer the host was great and called in to check everything was OK on the day we arrived! We will definitely be returning to what our kids call "our Kerry house"!!

Great place to spend your holidays
We enjoyed our stay very much and surely highly recommend the holiday home. As advertised it is a remote and very quiet place in the midst of nature. The view over the lake is stunning.

The perfect location
The apartment was spacious and very comfortable; one of the best we have stayed in and we always stay in apartments. Jer Foley was brilliant with his friendliness and support. The location was to die for - views, near to Kenmare, lovely spacious gardens, outside sitting area in the evening sun. It is also the perfect base for seeing South West Ireland. The culture of the people in Kenmare has to be experienced - friendly, helpful, pleasant - you don't need zebra crossings as drivers stop to wave you across the road! All in all a wonderful experience - we will be back to this apartment in September 2017.

Great location
Very happy with the house and it was well placed for touring Co Kerry. Nit picking - could do with some TLC as it was slightly tired and for example, the oven could do with in depth cleaning. Extra hand towels wouldn't come amiss (luxury). Kenmare is a grand town with a buzz and plenty of bars, cafes and shops. There are also several supermarkets for supplies. Owners v helpful. All in all a really good holiday.
