Morris and Angela were great hosts and could nor do enough for us. The surroundings were so so beautiful and tranquil and the Lodge itself was very clean, laid out well, simply perfect for a holiday. The location is great for exploring County Kerry. We are so looking forward to returning in the near future. Thank you Morris and Angela for a great stay.

We soon settled into our home from home this was perfect for us both all one level with easy accessibility (me using crutches). You can hear the odd car going pass as we had windows open all the time of our visit. Everything works perfectly as it should with any issues if you have any nothing you can not speak to either Morris or Angela. We are planning a return visit soon if availability will let us .
