Canât believe how lucky we were to pick Moybella Lodge for our holiday. A perfect little home away from home. Fully equipped, even down to an air fryer, The setting is just wonderful, we even watch a badger run across the lawn. Ang and Maurice went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Trust me this little gem is definitely the place to stay if youâre exploring County Kerry.
