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.

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.

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!!

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.

Absolutely amazing stay at Jamesey’s Cottage!! The views from the cottage were unforgettable

Myself and 7 friends had an amazing stay at Theo and Clodagh’s property. Spacious and quiet with amazing views over the lake. The facilities were all great quality and communication very easy. Not far from loads of different attractions and lovely pubs. Well be back again!

Great family vacation

Our family spent a week at the cottage for my daughter’s graduation celebration. Absolutely beautiful location with a breathtaking view! Road to the cottage is narrow and was taken slowly; incredible landscape and lots to see along the way! Communication with the hosts was great; appreciated their responsiveness!! Would highly recommend for a stay and hoping to get back some day for another visit!!

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.

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.

Well appointed home in a beautiful setting

The home was a great space for our family and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Our kids (5 and 3) loved exploring the yard, playing with toys in the playroom and seeing the sheep wander through the surrounding hills. The home served as a great central location for exploring the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula. I would definitely recommend the property for families that need space, don't mind being 10 minutes outside of the city and want to cook for themselves.

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!

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.

We will be back!

Location is a slice of heaven - a car is a must! This stunning property is equipped with all you need for an off grid break. Sheep and bunnies visit daily and the views are sensational. Only downside is the amount of flies inside the property - we tried to deal with this daily but we kept losing the battle and this was a little soul destroying. Perhaps the property would benefit from a full deep clean on a more regular basis. On the whole, we can’t wait to come back!

Memorable, a real gem!

The cottage is very roomy and is stocked well enough to get by. But the reason for staying here is the setting...it is one of a kind. On a bluff, over looking a lake with a view of the surrounding hills, the cottage has a beautiful lawn and garden, and sheep outside the gate that want to get at the flowers. Be advised, the NARROW, windy 5 km drive in is not to be overlooked when choosing this property. We're glad we chose it and will remember it forever. BB

Stunning Scenery, Privacy and Seclusion!

Our family really enjoyed our short stay at Jamesey's Cottage. The views at the cottage brought tears to my eyes as we pulled up to the property! The location was very private and secluded - we didn't see anything but sheep and rabbits while there! You are still a short drive from the town of Killorglin, for anything you may need for your stay. The house itself is absolutely beautiful! All bedrooms have ensuites and the main living area was very comfortable. Theo even supplied plenty of wood for our stay, much appreciated! Communication with Theo was excellent while staying at the cottage. Unfortunately, we had rain 2 out of our 3 days while there! We would love to return to Jamesey's Cottage on our next trip to Ireland!
