Relaxing country stay

The beautiful scenery, and location allowed for the country experience that was close amenities while give the feel of being in the country. The house it self was beautiful and was as if you step back in time in some areas but had the comforts of a modern home.

Hidden Jem

This property was hidden away from the road up a hill and very quiet. We all loved the views and the charm of the stone cottage. It is close to Killarney where we were attending an event. There is lots to do in the area or just enjoy the peace and quiet. We hated to leave.

Great location as a base to tour Kerry

Lovely spacious house, with all you’d need in a home from home - except WiFi. However it was refreshing not to have it for the week! Add WiFi and you’d be on to a winner!

Unreliable heat and hot water are serious problems.

Cottage is authentic and what we were looking for In our stay. However, heat is only turned on twice per day and hot water maximum usage is two showers in the morning and two in the morning.

Great country location

We stayed in this home for two weeks with the desire to have a location that allowed us to take many day trips. It was the perfect spot and we loved having a quiet place to stay. PROS: *Beautiful, quiet, country setting close to Killarney. *Rock walls, wood accents, fireplaces enhance charm. *Communication with property managers was excellent. *Lots of room for our party of 5. *Good amenities. CONS: *The home is very cold. It would be great for summer months, but not for cooler months. We bundled up often as controlling the thermostat was not easy and home did not hold heat well. This ended up making our stay pretty uncomfortable. *The hot water is not hot. We had to request help from the property managers in order to warm it up. *Communication with Trident Homes (not the property managers mentioned above) was difficult and some information was conflicting. Had I not reached out to Trident on my own, I would not have known important details about the property. *You must request, and pay for, bath towels. *Wi-Fi is NOT strong or reliable.

Idéal pour découvrir le Kerry

Nous avons adoré la maison, son style à la fois authentique et moderne, les échanges avec la propriétaire très disponible et gentille et la localisation du lieu idéale pour découvrir le Kerry près de Killarney du Ring of Kerry et des péninsules de Dingle et Beara. Nous recommandons fortement cette location.
