We spent four amazing nights in Ted and Sheila's beautiful home, and we wished we had booked many more. The views from the front of the house are magnificent, especially as the sun sinks into Ballinskelligs Bay. There are great hikes outside your door-- to Lother Fort, along the Kerry Way, down to the beach, or back into Waterville. With a car, this is a great base to explore the entire Iveragh Pennisula-- the Ring of Kelly, the Skelligs via Portmagee, the Cliffs of Kerry, Killarney National Park, and lots more.
The house is perfect for a family and an extended stay. It's well equipped, clean and cozy, and it has three very comfortable bedrooms upstairs. At night, the dark and the quiet provide peaceful sleep. The tap water is delicious, pulling from a deep well, filtered by ancient rocks.
Ted and Sheila are terrific hosts with plenty of suggestions about preferred driving routes, supermarkets, restaurants, and local sites.
Should we make it back to Kerry County, we would definitely book this lovely gem again.
