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!!

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.

Utter Tranquility; Stunning Views

This property is well-appointed, well-kept, and well worth learning to navigate the very narrow country lane to get there. We stayed for one week. A few days of our stay we would just drive each morning to the delightful village of Killorglin and do our daily shopping -- butcher shop, grocery store, bakery/coffee shop -- and spend the day cooking and relaxing in the solitude with sweeping vistas to Lake Caragh and the Ring of Dingle. Note: Traffic can he horrible! :-) Sometimes the sheep decide to escape their meadows and walk along the road or take naps on the warm asphalt. They are gracious enough to leave when you approach, though. We also saw wild goats (about 25-30 of them) and a few wild rabbits. Day trips from this location are easy -- and it's so nice to return to this utterly peaceful property. Indeed, there were times we thought there was something wrong with our hearing because of the absolute silence: no wind, no birdcalls, no bugs buzzing around -- just the sun peeking out of the clouds and lighting up the heather-clad hills. We truly enjoyed this property -- a "must" if you are trying to get away from it all.

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!

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!

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!!

Jamesey Cottage

Spectacular !!!! We were in Ireland for my daughters wedding and stayed here. The cottage was perfect and a lot larger than we thought. The views are incredible! I'm not much of a hiker/walker but I found myself walking and enjoying the Irish country side. Theo was the perfect host. Although the drive is a little daring, the end result is so worth it! I would HIGHLY recommend this Irish Cottage to anyone that really wants to get away and enjoy the true beauty of Ireland, Thanks Theo for being a part of our families wonderful trip and making our daughters destination wedding so special.

Superbe, magnifique et accueillante demeure

Les photos sont déjà belles sur le site mais ne rendent pas compte de la vue si magnifique admiré tout au long du séjour ! On pourrait rester la semaine juste à regarder ou à peindre ce panorama! La route pour y accéder dure 15 minutes de Killorglin : des mini-routes mais, après un peu d'appréhension au début, nous nous y sommes faits vite et y avons trouvé beaucoup de charme (les moutons, les montagnes, les lacs ponctuent la route)! La maison est splendide : salon très cocooning avec cheminée, chambres très spacieuses avec salle d'eau pour chacune, lits faits à l'arrivée et literie de qualité ! Une très grande salle de jeux avec : legos, peluches, baby-foot, enceinte de karaoke, cd, dvd, livres (en anglais)... la maison chauffe très vite et nous coupions en journée et la nuit car très bien isolee! Nous avons pu faire la presqu'île de Beara, Dingle et Slea Head, le parc de Killarney, la presqu'île du Kerry au sud puis au nord et une petite randonnée (il y en a très peu au final en irlande) en forêt à castle rock à 15 minutes de la maison vers kenmare! Les propriétaires ont toujours reagi rapidement à nos questions, merci à eux! En bref, la maison rêvée pour des vacances !

Fabulous views, wonderful location

We had an amazing stay here, the location is breathtaking. The house was a great size with plenty of room for a large group. There was also a generous amount of cutlery and crockery. I would recommend getting a rotary clothes line as the one drying rack was not enough for our numbers. The house is off the beaten track so a car is needed but that is part of the attraction. We would definitely recommend it.

Schönes großes Haus in traumhafter Alleinlage

Das Haus liegt wunderschön in den grünen Hügeln. Die Aussichten auf den See und die Berge sind herrlich. Der Garten ist ein kleines Paradies, für Erwachsene zum Entspannen und für Kinder zum Spielen. Das Haus ist sehr komfortabel ausgestattet, auch die Küche. Uns hat nichts gefehlt.
