Perfect place to relax
The place was great. It read quiet relaxing and the coach is perfect. Needs a few light bulbs need to be replaced and one or two glass bowls for food would be a great addition. We completely unwound relaxed and recharged. We will be back.

Cottage in der Nähe von Caherdaniel
Die Ferienwohnung war etwas abgelegen aber trotzdem gut zu erreichen. Sehr sauber und komfortabel mit 2 Badezimmer incl. Toiletten. Gut ausgestattete Küche und ein gemütlicher Wohnbereich. Der Aussenbereich verfügte über einen Tisch mit Sitzgelegenheit wo wir des öfteren gegrillt haben. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Great Location but Home needs Improvement
Cute house - like the fireplace. Detailed cleaning needed (spider webs all over the place). Several burned-out/non working lights (no bulbs). Was hard to see in the dining room especially. Towells need replacement - they did not seem clean. Squeege can be helpful in the downstairs bathroom as water gets all over the floor by the toilet area when you take a shower.

Cozy Cottage Getaway
We enjoyed a much needed long weekend away from city life in London at this cozy cottage. It is in a great location to drive The Ring of Kerry, explore Killarney National Park and adventure the Dingle Penisula. We only wished we would have stayed to enjoy the place a little longer. Could easily spend a whole week unwinding here. We just melted into the sofa, bed and the jetted tub. Very comfortable and relaxing. The view of the sea was perfectly serene. And the bae of the sheep surrounding us was a lullaby. Michael made it a breeze to check in and out. Thank you so much!

Lovely house in a beautiful location
This was the perfect place to stay in Kerry. We loved the traditional feel of the house, but appreciated that it had modern conveniences. Both bathrooms were beautifully done. The jetted tub was wonderful, but we also appreciated a high pressure shower. Michael and his family were very helpful and kind, quite welcoming. Food nearby was exceptional, and the shops were near enough to make this a great ‘home’ while we explored all around.

Wonderful peaceful cottage.
The cottage is back off the main road. This made for a wonderful peaceful experience. The cottage was clean, cozy, and as advertised. We loved making a fire each night while watching TV. Just be sure to get specific directions from Michael before arriving. Otherwise, it's a little had to find. Thanks for sharing your place with us Michael.

Beautiful quiet property away from it all
The location is quite good - about halfway along the Ring of Kerry and a nice mix of away from it all and an easy drive to areas with more activity. The sheep neighbors were quite quiet. The property is a restored/renovated farm house in the classic countryside look with a few modern touches. The only thing I would add is a coffee maker.

The Romantic Couples Retreat
The property has the most idyllic location and is set back up off the road at the top of a single track lane. It is ideally located on the Ring of Kerry and an ideal stop for those touring the area. The cottage was clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water. A choice of heating was available - either conventional central heating or a large stove to burn the locally dug turf. It was just as it is advertised - a Romantic Couples Retreat....and a pretty good one at that! The owners were kind, considerate and inconspicuous, but made a point of checking half way through our stay that we had everything we needed. we would strongly recommend this lovely cottage to friends and family.
