Home away from home.

This was our home away from home that we used as a meeting point and home base for exploring the local area. It was a wonderful place to stay with plenty of space for our kids.

Wonderful home in Killorglin

We had a great week at this beautiful home with an amazing view. Short drives to great local hikes, whiskey tasting in Killarney, the Dingle Peninsula, a boat trip to Skellig Michael, and pubs in Killorglin. And we were lucky to be in Killorglin for the first day of Puck Fair. Tom is a great host, easy to reach and with lots of great suggestions. Thank you, Tom!

Fantastic Location

Ring of Kerry was our goal and that is why we chose this property…. But this property offered so much more! I wish our stay was longer as the countryside and view was fantastic! Hot water situation on the main floor was the only issue, but after a week and a half in Ireland, we weren’t surprised and it didn’t take away from the great rooms and beds! For a group of 8, this was perfect!

We had a lovely stay with friends! The house is nicely set up for two families/groups, with one en-suite bath upstairs and one downstairs.Arrival was easy, and the house was very clean. Kitchen is well-stocked with pretty much everything you need and Killorglin is just 10 minutes away and has an Aldi and Eurospar. There’s a washer and dryer - handy for us as it was mid-trip and we were able to wash clothes. There are TVs but they were put away - we enjoyed this opportunity to disconnect, but they are there, along with a huge DVD movie selection. WiFi was reliable, slower if everyone is on it. Location is great for exploring the area. You will need to drive to get to attractions. The location is peaceful and quiet - you can walk outside the property for some exercise or enjoy the beautiful views from the house. We enjoyed games in the evening in the family room, which also has a fireplace. It’s also a great place to curl up with your book.Tom is a very communicative and helpful host. We had a wonderful stay!

Ideal Central Location

We were initially drawn to this property's central location: equally distant from Dingle, Skellig Michael, and Killarney National Park. We were delighted to find that it was set up for families. Our family of 5 included ages 15-79, and there was more than enough room. There were two rooms that were decorated cheerfully for younger guests from the lighting fixture to wall art to a children's library, and a travel crib was available for anyone needing it. The other bedrooms were very comfortable and roomy with plenty of closet space, reading material, and extra bedding, towels (including beach towels), and more books. The mountain view from the sitting room was beautiful. We arrived to a bottle of wine and clear information about the house and the local restaurants, grocery stores, etc.The owner responded quickly to all inquiries. This was a relaxing home to return to after our outings each day. I would definitely recommend it.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for that lovely, detailed review and I am very glad that you enjoyed your stay. To all VRBO hosts, I would happily recommend this family as guests as they were very polite and engaging in all of their communications with me. I also want to thank them for leaving the house in an immaculate condition before they left!
