Since we weren't renting a car we looked for a suitable place to stay that was both close to town and away from the traffic and noise. This turned out to be perfect. It's a 10-15 minute walk into town on Ross Road or a 20-25 minute walk through the National Park which takes you across from St. Mary's Cathedral. The home is in a quiet, small neighborhood and is well appointed and very well taken care of. John met us, showed us around the house then took us on a short tour of the Killarney area pointing out pubs, restaurants, markets, etc. He really goes out of his way to help and make you feel welcome. Fresh fruit, bread, wine, milk and basics are provided to get you going. We spent two weeks in the Killarney area and never ran out of sights to see, trails to walk and bike on or tours to take. Just a wonderful and peaceful place to stay with a terrific host.
