Beautiful setting in the Irish Countryside

The house is beautiful, but the setting overlooking the valley and lake is the real star. This was the perfect place to unwind in between sightseeing.

Family get together & holiday

We had an excellent week at Jameseys providing enough space and confort for our group of 9, perfect location to explore the area : ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park and the Reeks in the backyard. The view on Lough Caragh and Dingle bay is fabulous !

The house was absolutely perfect. The beds were comfortable and the house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. The views were amazing. Everything was what was expected and then more. The drive up to the house was a little scary at first, but honestly, a lot of fun too. We are only sad that we couldn’t have stayed longer. Our hosts were so kind and informative. This was the perfect location to get away and really experience quiet and peace, and still get to visit Dingle, Slea Head drive, Ring of Kerry and Killarney National Park. Our teenagers also loved the house and spending time outside together on the deck. One of our favorite stays, we will be back!

Wonderful house on Kerry with beautiful garden and view

Really nice house off the beaten track. We spent a wonderful week there with two families. Very spacious and well equipped. The children had a great time watching the rabbits run through the garden in the mornings and evenings. Good starting point for exploring the area (e.g. Valentia Island, Killarney, Dingle, parts of The Kerry Way). Quiet place in the countryside with a splendid view of Lough Caragh. Worth every minute it takes to get there (which is only ~15mins from Killorglie). The owners Clodagh and Theo are very friendly - thanks a lot for welcoming us at your wonderful house.

Jamesey Cottage

Spectacular !!!! We were in Ireland for my daughters wedding and stayed here. The cottage was perfect and a lot larger than we thought. The views are incredible! I'm not much of a hiker/walker but I found myself walking and enjoying the Irish country side. Theo was the perfect host. Although the drive is a little daring, the end result is so worth it! I would HIGHLY recommend this Irish Cottage to anyone that really wants to get away and enjoy the true beauty of Ireland, Thanks Theo for being a part of our families wonderful trip and making our daughters destination wedding so special.

This house—and location—are fabulous! The stunning view is easy to appreciate from the flagstone patio, cozy living room nook, dining room table, and amazing master bedroom. Large living room comfortably accommodated a large group. We appreciated the nice touches like sheepskins and blankets for outside, lots of firewood, and instructions for all of the appliances. Love this place!

Gorgeous Home, Stunning Setting

If you are looking to truly experience Ireland, this is the rental to choose. The house is well stocked and extremely clean and comfortable. We have stayed at some gorgeous places but the setting here is beyond amazing. Lake and mountain views all around. Although the road to the rental feels a little scary at first, it added to the experience and the spectacular views never got old. We had a group of ten, spanning three generations, and everyone agreed that we couldn’t have imagined better accommodations. Theo was a lovely and responsive host. Highly recommend!

Beautiful views!

We had a great stay at this house! The views are amazing and it is very peaceful. Two issues we had: the advertisement with VRBO states there is a dryer. Our group of 7 packed lightly for this trip so we needed laundry service at the house. The dryer is not an actual clothes dryer, but is only a line dryer. This was not convenient at all for our group. The other issue was the 4.5-5 mile road leading to the house. Be aware that it is a VERY narrow road and will take some time to navigate each and every time you make a trip out by car. Other than those two issues, I would definitely recommend this place!

Girls getaway

What started out as a golfers trip changed to a siblings and significant others trip with the girls (9) staying at Jamesey’s Cottage and the boys (9) staying at a different location about 16km away. We had a fantastic time at Jamesey’s Cottage with the awesome views from a beautiful home. And, had we been able to pick the weather we would want for our trip, we couldn’t have picked better, it was fantastic. Hope to come back in the future.

Great family vacation spot!

Beautiful surroundings with a spectacular view of the lake. The closest town of Killorglin is about 15 minutes away and has a large choice of super markets. We loved visiting the County of Kerry and coming back in the evening to a comfortable environment with a large room downstairs and a play area for kids upstairs. Excellent communication with the host. We highly recommend Jamesy's Cottage.

Perfect peace

The cottage was much more spacious than we expected and the games room was a huge bonus for 3 active boys. The setting was superb with the most wonderful views all around. The goat herd at the bottom of the garden a delight for us all. The absolute peace was magnificent with only nature's sounds. The kitchen was very well equipped but a sieve would have been good. The colander was huge. The shower trap in the attic bedroom had not been de-haired for months, so I fixed that. We had an absolutely fantastic stay and the children all want to come back.

Breathtaking

What an incredible view! It was a bit off the beaten path, but the drive was definitely worth it. Our hosts provided a clean, spacious home, with room for the whole family. We could not have asked for more. They even provided some basic pantry items which I was sure we would have to purchase. Flowers in the garden are lovely.

Trip to Ireland

We chose this location for the beautiful home and the tranquil location. It is conveniently located to Kilarney and the Ring of Kerry. I main goal in this location while heading to Cork from Dublin was to see the Kilarney National Park and the Ring of Kerry. This place was a fantastic retreat at the end of the day!!
