Set in a beautiful location really close to lovely Kenmare with all its amebities, this house had lots of space. 5 very comfortable large doubles and a very cute room for kids to sleep in singles. The fire pit was nice and the lighting around it all was a nice touch. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to quite enjoy it with the bi-folds fully open!
Aileen was incredibly communicative before and throughout our stay, making great recommendations for things to do and responding to any queries.
We had a great family holiday, and it didn't feel small even with 11 adults in there, and 2 toddlers running around! Would love to stay again sometime.

This was such a special holiday in such a special property! Wow! Look at the pictures and then multiply by a thousand 😊 Aileen is a fabulous host and was brilliant with suggestions and information, so friendly and accommodating. The house is something else - luxurious, and brilliantly comfortable. Fabulous rooms and lovely to have fire pit and water feature. The views at the front across the bay to the mountains are breathtaking. Fantastic holiday!

We stayed at Aileen’s place just west of Kenmare for 8 days while meeting up with other family and relatives. The house was as advertised, it has plenty of space with 6 bedrooms and 3 baths. A wonderful kitchen with a large table that we sat 12 people for a meal. The view of Kenmare Bay and the Beara peninsula is beautiful. You are nestled in about the cow pastures. A really beautiful and peaceful place. Aileen will have all sorts of suggestions for activities for. We had a great time.

The descriptions of the place are accurate but still don’t do it Justice. Everyone of us nine loved it and made it our home. And the view from the house is spectacular.The host, Aileen was easy to reach but we really didn’t need to as we found everything easily. I would go back and I would recommend it without any hesitation.
5.0
We had a wonderful stay. We were 10 adults and 1 child and the house was big enough that everyone could have space for themselves as well and at the same time offered enough possibilities to sit together comfortably. The kitchen is, like the whole house, great equipped and there was nothing we would have missed, although we also cooked a lot.
The beds were good, just a little too soft for us in places.
The location is an absolute dream and the starry sky overwhelming.
Aileen is a great host and did everything she could to make us feel at home. The wealth of tips and recommendations she had for us were just great. If we had any questions, she was always available and very helpful. We would definitely come back again.
Thank you very much for the wonderful time.

This home was very well appointed. Very nice bed linens. The kitchen was set up nicely to make family dinner. The view from the front of the property is amazing. Everything was as advertised. Fire pit and waterfall in the back were beautiful. It's a lovely home.
5.0
A perfect venue for entertaining or shared family fun. Huge kitchen and lovely outdoor space for dining alfresco. You're a short drive from Kenmare and a medium drive to fabulous beaches, but if it rains you won't regret coming - the house is very large with plenty of room for dining, games or just finding a quiet space to yourself.
Aileen is an excellent host and very responsive. There's a detailed welcome pack that explains everything from operating the boiler to refilling the coffee machine!
One quite key issue - the double beds are quite small. In fact, one of them has an even smaller mattress so very tricky to fit two people.
Various maintenance issues as well - pieces missing from every puzzle and game, no blind on one of the bedroom windows (in mid summer!), no lock or catch on that bedroom door, a few bulbs blown/missing and a weird tap that shoots water over the bathroom sink!
The house is really special though, and given Aileen's attention to her guests I'm sure small issues will be sorted soon.

My family came over from the USA to visit and we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect house for our 9 night holiday. Aileen was a very gracious and responsive host who have a wide variety of recommendations for activities in the area to get us started. The house itself was wonderfully equipped and stylishly decorated. We spent many happy hours preparing food, playing card/board games, and just spending time together in a lovely location. All family members commented on how comfortable the beds were. We were so pleased with everything and I can’t rate the experience any higher!!

We stayed in this lovely home over the holiday week. It is truly a gem with beautiful views, close proximity to Kenmare and enough space to spread out and relax. We loved it and the owner is wonderful to work with! I can't recommend it enough and hope to go back.

We spent a wonderful week in Radharc na mara. The house is spacious and well-decorated, there was ample room for the children to play why the adults needed some down time. The view over the Kenmare river and the mountains of the Beara peninsula from the front rooms is just breathtaking. On our arrival, we were escorted to the house by friendly neighbours, and Aileen, the owner, was always helpful whenever we had a question to ask. A perfect holiday accommodation for a family trip!

Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house, so much to see and do in the area, one week was not enough! Wish we had had better weather to make use of the outside fire. Would love to return some day.

Our family loved this home just outside Kenmare. There were 11 of us and the home was a perfect location for our first visit to County Kerry. Aileen was a quick to respond to questions we had. We had a great time and hope to return for another stay!
4.0
The home was all we had hoped for by being beautiful, roomy, and exceptionally clean.
There's a nice fire pit outside but you need to buy/bring your own charcoal.
The owner was very pleasant and responsive to deal with though we never met her face-to-face. She answered all communications promptly.
We found there to be ample room for our family of 9 adults to spread out and hang out.
Worth mentioning though- this property is only accessible via rented cars. There are no cabs we could find willing to get us there or pick us up which caused hours of delay for one couple in our group. The roads are nearly impossible to walk on as there's no shoulder so only go if a car is part of your plan.
Our family felt that a few changes should be made to the house for future guests . . the stove is nearly impossible to figure out how to use and cook on as it turns off if you pass one pot over another burner. Some mattresses need to be replaced especially the twins. The adults in that room ended up sleeping on the floor as they were too uncomfortable to sleep on beds. After long days hiking folks need more comfortable mattresses especially when on vacation.

Words cannot express how beautiful our experience was. We had a group of 13 and before we arrived we were concerned about whether the house would be comfortable for our group. It was more than spacious enough. The property was also large we did Yoga in the front lawn as it was so pretty and star-gazed in the night. The local pubs and shops are awesome, Kenmare was written about in our local paper as a hidden gem of Ireland. Also the location of the house made day trips to Beara Peninsula, Dingle, Killarney and Cork manageable, each of which was lovely in its own way. Thank-you so much for providing such a beautiful house for our three generation family to enjoy. Your country is beautiful as are the people. We will be back!

We had 2 families stay here for a wedding event in Kenmare. There was plenty of room and very comfortable for all 11 of us. Aileen was wonderful to work with and gave us suggestions on things to do when we weren't at wedding events. Love the view! The only challenge was getting up the driveway. :-)
5.0
we found the home clean, well furnished, and comfortable. The kitchen had all the pots and pans and bowls of home. Kenmare is a wonderful town and convenient to day trips we had planned. Aileen was wonderful with great suggestions of points of interest. Thank you so much.

My husband & I and our 2 year old spent 5 nights in this super hillside holiday home. Initially as mother of a toddler I was nervous about our holiday location but I was pleasantly surprised. The house was clean, welcoming and well maintained & we would recommend the house to other family members with mixed aged groups.
The house is in a superb location, Kenmare is a 10 minute drive for any of your supplies, places to eat and shop. We ate in Jam cafe one afternoon which was lovely.
We did combination of eating out and cooking at home as the kitchen is fully equipped. For day trips we were very close to beautiful beaches and towns to visit, Sneem was a great place for a cuppa and an ice-cream. Muckross House and Gardens is a must. The local Drumquinna Manor is beautiful and worth a visit.
The weather was mixed but it did not dampen our enthusiasm.
Its a fine big house and could cater for large groups for New years or Christmas gatherings. Enjoy!

We stayed at the house for two nights. There were only 4 of us there which grossly underutilized the very nice home. The home is actually very conveniently located, but can be a little confusing to get to. The property was very well kept and the owner was very friendly in helping us out, particularly when we ran into some car issues. I agree wifi would be great to have, but it was also nice to be disconnected for a bit. The locals at Spillane's Pub (just a short drive down the hill) were very friendly and we had a really nice time there. I'd definitely recommend the place--particularly for larger groups as there home is enormous!

What can I say? we had a brilliant time from start to finish. nightmare, no not really but a bit groggy in the mornings with the square pint in town being open so late and us not managing to get out until mark had made sure that we'd all had 10 mini guinnesses and steve had finished playing the bagpipes. right now the property - bags of room (we were a group of 11) beautiful views and location and so much to do down in the bay. We swam and fished daily and some of the guys sailed and played golf. kenmare itself was buzzing with great restaurants (plenty of cheap taxis to get back) tho if you just want a quiet drink out of town then its only a mile or so walk down the hill to a couple of locals. I agree with the previous reviewer that if it is possible to put free wifi in then this will help when searching for activities and if the weather is ever bad there (we had glorious sunshine) it may also come in useful when staying in for a few hours. some nightmare huh - ten out of ten, we will all come again (that's not quite Heaney but you know what I mean eh)?

We had a wonderful two night stay at this property. The house is very spacious and had all the facilities we required. The views are also incredible. The only possible suggestion I could make to improve the accommodation is perhaps providing wi-fi which would be useful for guests to search for and book activities/ day trips etc. Other than that, the property was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and the Owner was fantastic and recommended lots of local activities.
Thanks so much.
