This property is perfect for the person who is looking to engage in the natural, rugged, untamed beauty that is the Southwest Coast of Ireland. The home is at the very end of the Bolus Loop Walking Trail with a clear view of the Skellig Islands and St. Finian's Bay, in all their majesty. The night sky is part of "Dark Sky Ireland" and it did not disappoint. While it is an ideal remote retreat, there are a few lovely villages nearby (Waterville, Portmagee and Valencia). These are where you can get your boat trips to the Skelligs, explore stone circles, stone forts, castles, abbeys and all that the Ring of Kerry has to offer IF you feel the need to leave this idyllic refuge.
The home has the basic amenities you'd expect, with a wonderful glass-enclosed dining room that affords amazing sunsets and a perfect place for family meals and very roomy bedrooms.
Note to American Travellers:
You will need to bring all of your toiletries as none are provided.
You will get two towels per person and no washcloths nor top sheets.
There are two dish towels.
There are no paper towels nor napkins, and there are four rolls of toilet paper provided.
The house is fully equipped with all the basics, but the spices and sundries, I assume, are those left by previous guests, so plan to get what you need or want in town before you come all the way out to the home.
We've been all over Ireland but this time was truly the most beautiful location we'd ever stayed in.
