We had a great time staying at the cottage. In the backyard the sheep, bunnies, deer and foxes were an added bonus. Everything was clean , We had all the amenities we needed. An authentic Irish cottage experience. So quiet. I didn’t want to be downtown with all the bars. I loved it and would stay again. Emily answered all of my questions right away. I would definitely stay there again. The view was amazing.

What a great place for a nice, quiet country cottage stay!!! Everything was just as described in the listing but a nice surprise was the short drive into the heart of Kenmare for a variety of restaurants and pubs to visit. I'd love to come back in the future, southern Ireland is absolutely beautiful around the coast and up into Killarney!!!

A lovely place to stay near Kenmare

This is a lovely old house perched high on a hill overlooking Kenmare. It was a very comfortable place to stay, with big kitchen/diner and lounge rooms. Well equipped for cooking and eating. Very peaceful and relaxing stay.The only 'flaw' is the bath - you cannot stand to have a shower and it's really hard to get out of the old bath! It was ok for us but would not suit anyone with mobility issues.

A nice little cottage with a beautiful view

We spent 5 nights in this nice house very quiet, near Kenmare. The weather was not very nice but we had a very good time in the house. The garden with all the rabbits and deers feeled the children with joy!

Beautiful

We had a wonderful stay in the country cottage! Deer nearly every morning and evening in the pasture made for a great way to start and finish each day. The home was in a perfect location to explore the Southwest of Ireland! Everything was perfect!

A wonderful stay!

We were very pleased with this Irish cottage. It was very comfortable and very well equipped and it made our stay very agreeable. Kenmare is located a few km away and has everything one needs, amenities, restaurants, cafes as well as departure points for walking tours. I definitely recommend it for adults as well as for families with children. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us.

Lovely home

We really enjoyed staying here. It was tricky finding the house, but following directions will help. The road going in is very narrow, so use caution coming around the curves. The house was charming. There are sheep in the back yard that came up to greet us when we walked to the fence. I'm sure they were hoping for food, but we liked to believe they were just welcoming us. Kenmare is a lovely town and a good location to travel to other locations to visit. Truly enjoyed our stay.

Nice Country Stay

Nice rustic home about a 7 minute drive from town. This area is a very good staging area for the Ring of Kerry, Ladies View, and the Gap of Dunlow. (All must sees) The heating system is a bit challenging to find a balance between cool, damp and too hot. Note that the shower is not really a shower. It’s a tub with a 4 foot ceiling. On the plus side, it has a huge yard looking out towards the mountains, with tons of bunnies running around the field.

Beautiful area but more than advertised distance from town.

We originally chose this property as it said 0.1 from town so assumed it was right in the town. It’s actually a 20 minute walk (with kids) partially along a pretty fast road with no pavement, so just factor that in when booking. We still had a wonderful stay as the countryside around the cottage is beautiful as are the views from the cottage itself. Kenmare is gorgeous and we enjoyed horse riding locally. Just beware of the kettle - the top pops up when it boils!

Good base for the area, but you will need the car!

It’s in a lovely quiet position with good views from the garden and upstairs windows. Lots of rabbits in the adjoining field and a group of Roe deer visiting each evening to graze. I suppose it could be considered a little dated in style and decor, but we had no complaints. We used both bedrooms and were both comfortable. The smaller bedroom would benefit from a bedside light. The shower over the bath has no headroom, but is easily adjustable. Good value for money, suitable for a quiet pair of companions such as ourselves, but probably not for a party!

The house and amenities were awesome. We loved the views across the valley and its close location to Kenmare. The only issues we had was that the house appeared to be prepped for winter. Hot water, central heating and all electrical jacks were turned off. Because the power to WIFI was off, the password provided didn’t work on power up, luckily the original password on the box worked. The water heater came on and heated up fast, but in Summer More the Central Heating doesn’t work even though both timers are engaged per instructions. We had to turn Winter Mode on AND set the he temperature for the centeral heater water. After all that we he house heated up gloriously, in fact we soon found ourselves too hot . If we visit again we would like to have some wood to burn in the main room fireplace. Thanks for an awesome cottage!!!!

Moody Skies and Many Sheep

We totally enjoyed our time at the cottage. It does have its quirks and we appreciated the reviews that cautioned about finding and getting into the cottage. Even with that, we couldn't locate it immediately and were trying to reconcile the difference in instructions we were receiving in the app and in emails. Emily was immediately reachable and helpful. Once we figured out the electricity, which is set up differently than in the States, and the key situation, we settled in and thoroughly enjoyed the shifting clouds on the mountains, the sheep, and the view from the bathroom. Based on a review that said the house was 1km from town, we thought we could walk into Kenmare but that would have been challenging. Great location for exploring the area but not on foot--or at least we couldn't figure that part out. Would happily return.

Amazing View

After the beautiful drive up the winding road, we spotted our destination on the left. Once we pushed open the gate and parked, my partner and I sprinted to the back yard. BREATHTAKING! We opened up the house… BREATHTAKING! So much charm. So cozy. So perfect. Per the norm of getting settled into a new place there were some quarks and questions , but Emily was responsive to these and advised that certain issues would be addressed. Don’t expect a shower unless you’re 2.5ft tall. But the BATH feels amazing! Great view from the window. We truly loved this place. If the back outside sensor lights aren’t fixed before your arrival, I recommend moving the outdoor furniture to the left side of the house for star gazing comfort or draping a towel over them both ( temporarily) . They are very obnoxious. Wonderful home. Wonderful Stay.

Beautiful location/Listing needs updating

I would first like to say that it was easy for us to find the place and it was a very beautiful location.The cottage was decent and had everything we needed. Kenmare is a beautiful town. However, the only cleaning that was mentioned in the listing was running the dishwasher. When we got there there, were notes that we needed to take out the rubbishe, separate and take out our recycling and we needed to start the first load of laundry. I wish this would have been on the listing as there was a 35 cleaning fee. I may not have booked the property knowing that there would have been that much cleaning to do. Also, there were 2 different structures on the property. 1 brown 1 blue. The only one we were able to see in was the blue structure which had a couple of beds in it. It left us feeling unsettled as we weren't sure if somebody else was going to be staying there while we were. It would have been nice that these two structures and all of the cleaning would have been in the listing. Overall, it was beautiful. It provided us with a bed and kitchen items. But, the listing does need to be updated with relevant information.
