About this property
Sitting on an elevated spot overlooking spectacular mountain and sea views, Lack Cottage is a lovely detached cottage in Annascaul, County Kerry. Sleeping up to eight guests, Lack Cottage is a home-from-home in the beautiful Irish countryside. The property offers convenient off-road parking so you can get settled in with ease; an open-plan sitting and kitchen area greets you at the entrance, complete with two electric recliners and a reclining sofa to watch the Smart TV and put your feet up by the woodburning stove. The kitchen features stunning solid wood cabinets and is well-equipped for cooking up a meal to impress your family and friends, which can be enjoyed in the separate dining area with a view of the misty Kerry mountains. On the ground-floor, you will find the first of four double bedrooms and a cloakroom with a WC and basin, whilst upstairs there are three more double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, as well as a shared bathroom with lovely tiling, a free-standing bath and a walk-in power shower; all four bedrooms have rustic wooden double beds and matching storage space to make yourself right at home. Stepping outside of the cottage, you will be surrounded by quiet countryside overlooking the beach. Inch Beach is a famous beach in Ireland and just a short drive from Lack Cottage for a great day out. Dingle is a small port town lying west of the cottage, well-known for its rugged scenery, walking trails and sandy beaches, as well as a number of pubs, restaurants and seafood bars for an evening out. Tralee is another fabulous town to the north, where you can find out about local history in the Kerry County Museum, take the self-guided trails or catch a show at National Folk Theatre Ireland. To the south sits Killarney, a picturesque town on the shores of Lough Leane, which is also a stop on the Ring of Kerry scenic drive and where you can start and finish the 200km Kerry Way walking trail; in the town, you’ll find historic buildings, Killarney National Park and Muckross House and Gardens, all the while surrounded by spectacular countryside. Lack Cottage is a charming location for a peaceful rural escape, where there is a beautiful view at every turn.
Dingle is a delightful town sitting on a beautiful peninsula, overlooking Dingle Bay, and boasts a fabulous harbor. There are also a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy in the lively town, offering a host of activities for the whole family, including walking, cycling, fishing, golfing and a range of water sports.

A few minutes drive from the beach at Inch and great base to explore the local area. We were a family with older children (8, 14, 16). We would stay here again, great showers, comfy beds, easy to find and plenty of space for the car. The house was set back from the road so traffic noise wasn't a problem. The view from the house of the hills and bay area was superb. There is no real garden, just a gravelled area around the house for the car. This wasn't a problem for us as the weather was great (!) so we were out every day, but maybe a table and benches to sit out the front on would be nice. Aside from that, the property is surrounded by green fileds with sheep and cows, farm buildings at the back, stream over a wall nearby, idyllic. The kitchen was good, but it needs a few more items. The frying pan did not work on the induction hob (no problem with the other pans) and a couple of wooden spoons and a spatula would have been useful. Also a couple of baking trays for the oven would be good to have. As stated there is no Wifi but mobile reception was fine. All in all, a lovely place to stay and would recommend.

A very comfortable cottage with lots of home comforts. Perfect location with near by amenities (although not walking distance). A short drive to the most beautiful beach, Inch. Only request we would have liked to have in the cottage, is Wi-Fi. Would definitely like to come back for another family stay in the future.

It is in a lovely location, however to my mind this house is not based in Anascaul. It is on The Castlemaine Road just outside Inch Village. It is a good location but the description of location on Hogans Irish Cottages Website is not accurate. Some points for improvement: for the price we paid we would expect some of the basics to be addressed. The kitchen cold tap was broken and was running constantly when turned to the off position. It was running when we arrived. We couldn't fix it while there and I imagine it wastes a lot of water. None of the bathrooms or sinks had any soap to wash hands and I didn't expect to have to supply it either. That's a bit of a cheap move for the cost of the rental. There is no WIFi and I'm not the first person to say this in reviews so the owners don't seem to pay attention to feedback. Please don't say it's a chance to switch off as most teenagers look for WiFi no matter where they are and also it's handy for searching trips and making reservation. Its a basic service and is missing here. Also there were no instructions for the appliances and we spent ages trying to figure out how to use the induction hob (they supplied the wrong pan and it wouldn't work. Only when we found a second pan did it finally function). There is no house manual to provide any info about the quirks of the house, just the odd note on a window ledges about bins and please turn off the electricity. The feel is that the owners want you to oblige their conveniences without making the stay convenient for the visitors. Again, I'm not the first person to comment on no available manuals for appliances etc. Overall, this really is a nice spacious, comfortable house but at the price being asked, WiFi, soap, basic house maintenance and a house manual need to be added in.
