). We spent most of our time in the sun room at the end of each day, very peaceful, just the birds and the bunny rabbits. It was clean and well presented, and the beds were comfy. I would highly recommend.

We spent our time exploring and ascending the nearby mountains but there also seems to be lots to do and see in the surrounding area. The house provided us with a superb base, it's nicely fitted out and appointed - certainly a comfortable home from home. And the owner, Mr O'Shea, was welcoming and friendly. A very good place to stay!

It's lovingly furnished, super clean, has very comfortable beds, and has everything you need. From here, you can easily explore the Ring of Kerry, but without a car, you won't be able to do much. For your information, it's about 15 minutes to Killorglin for shopping, and about 20 minutes to Killarney. We'd love to come back!
