Sanctuary during a stormy holiday
Our family adored our stay at the Fuschia Lodge in County Kerry. Gorgeous property with every available amenity, especially if you're a person who likes to cook and bake during a holiday. The stormy weather with gale force winds didn't bother us as we were snug in our comfy home with views that go on forever across the white capped sea.

At the Beach
We enjoyed our stay at the Fuschia Lodge. Although our weather was not great, we appreciated the space and views from the house. It was well stocked with everything we could need. The hot showers were a welcome reprieve after being out in the rain. The house was conveniently located to Waterville. My girls and I enjoyed a lovely hike along the Kerry Way steps from the house.

Exceptional Ireland Views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Fuchsia Lodge. The house is beautiful, clean and well stocked with everything we needed and we couldn't get enough of the spectacular views from all sides of the house! Caragh was an excellent communicator for our sightseeing questions and the welcome basket was lovely to arrive to after our long travel from the US. The location was perfect, right along the Ring of Kerry and we took full advance of driving each day to explore all the wonderful sights and towns along the The Kerry Way! Highly recommend this 5 star!

Views are stunning
The property is outstanding and we could have sat on the couches and stared out the window, all week. You can see cliffs, a beach and a beautiful view to hills on the other side of the bay. We had a couple of days of poor weather and simply stayed in and enjoyed the property. We had a few mechanical issues but most of them were our own ignorance of how the appliances worked. Caragh helped through any issues and we had a terrific stay. We would of course reccomend this property to all lovers of this beautiful area of Ireland.

Beautiful and amazing house in a perfect location
It was our second holiday in Fuchsia Lodge and won't the last. The house and the landscape are amazing. This time we spent 2 weeks in the end of winter and it was very stormy and rainy. But the house was pretty warm and you can end up the day in the sauna after some long walks. Everything in the house is well maintained and clean. If you need help or any information you can always ask Mary or Caragh. We will come back.

Stunning views, great for family groups!
We stayed at Fuschia Lodge for a mont. it was truly a fantastic property. You have views from all four bedrooms across the Ballinskelligs Bay. Quarter mile .5 km walk to the beach access. Lovely walk about 4 mi, 6.5 km on the lanes around the lodge. All appliances worked well once we figured out where the electric on switch was! About 3 km to Waterville. There are 2 nice pubs there, the Lobster and the Villa. At the Villa every Tuesday is open mic and locals come to play and sing. There is a Centra grocery store there and two other restaurants. We were there in mid April-mid May so missed the summer crowds. I really can’t recommend this place highly enough. It is stunning and has thoughtful details like a full sauna, lots of parking, and a clothesline. Thank you Caragh! We loved our stay!

Lovely holiday home
This is a large, clean, spacious home with lots of windows and beautiful vistas. We were pleasantly surprised to find that there was milk and butter in the fridge and wine, jams and soda bread on the counter when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped. Waterville is an easy walk from the house where we enjoyed the seascape and pastoral surroundings. Being on the Ring of Kerry allows access to diverse vegetation and views. Day trips to Valentia Island and Killarney National Park were well worth the drive. When we travel, we prefer quiet, scenic places and this location met all our needs. We would highly recommend Fuschia Lodge and the Waterville area. John & Lesley from Ontario, Canada

Ireland West Coast is so Beautiful
The house/property/location is beautiful. The western side of Ireland is so beautiful. One gorgeous view after another. My wife and I, along with two other couples stayed at the house for the week. We enjoyed it so much. We flew in/ and started our trip in Dublin. Then drove out to house (should have given ourselves more time to get out to the house. Didn't expect for the roads to be quite so small and the GPS will not necessarily send you the right direction). The days after, we went to Waterville, Cahersiveen, Doolin, Galway, Killarney, Dingle, Kenmare and Cork. Everyone of them beautiful. We would have like to seen more, but ran out of time (you can't get anywhere fast)(and be prepared for it to rain every day). But that is part of the beauty of Western Ireland. Getting rid of trash/rubbish is bit of an issue also. Despite the roads, we had a great time.

Theirs a reason they call Kerry the Kingdom!
Kerry is the closest you will come to heaven, and this absolutely beautiful home is a perfect example of a little slice of heaven. My family which included my Dad, my two sisters with their partners and my girlfriend and I and her 8 year old daughter just spent a week here. We chose this location as my Mam’s ashes are scattered just up the road in Derrynane and it was conveniently located to visit the towns that my Mam and Dad frequented when visiting their favourite place in Ireland. The house has everything you could possibly want. Proximity to the town is brilliant just a nice walk, the beach a short stroll and the views oh my God, I can never get sick of them no matter what the weather is. Caragh the owner was extremely pleasant and helpful and the house is kitted out with everything you could possibly need. I will return to this house again as it exceeded our dreams of what we might even be walking into. I cannot praise this house and location enough and words don’t justify how beautiful it truly is. I would strongly recommend anyone looking to travel to Kerry to stay here “Just not when I want to please!”

Great time
We had a really great time in this beautiful house in this beautiful location. There were hares and stonechats and field pipits in the garden, coastal walks, and we made the trek to Dingle for a rib ride to see dolphins, puffins, and minke whale. The house is perfect (and the internet works!), and Kerry is gorgeous.

We had a wonderful week in Fuschia Lodge. Communication with the owner, before and during our stay, was excellent. The house is beautifully appointed and we watched stunning sunsets.

Amazing property and location
We were two families staying in the Autumn half term. Kids from age 10 up. The views across the bay are incredible. The sunsets stunning. The cottage is designed with this in mind. Allowing you to have breathtaking views in the warmth of inside. I’d imagine in the summer it would be brilliant. BBQ’s all the time. The cottage it’s self is clean, well equipped, modern. Plenty of space all en-suite / private bathroom. The location is a good few miles from local amenities not that was a problem for us. If we were coming back to the area we’d rebook in a heartbeat. Thanks for a lovely holiday!

The location is spectacular. It has a wonderful view of the bay and the ocean. Home is perfect for multiple guests because of the 4 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. Lots to do nearby. It’s right down the road from hogshead golf course and a 10 minute drive to Waterville golf course. The owner was a pleasure to work with when I had a few questions.

About the host

Hosted by Caragh Curran

Host profile image
Hi, I am a tourism consultant and work with governments around the world to develop, manage and market their destinations. This is my holiday home in Kerry, where I love to retreat when I am in Ireland. My husband and I just love the place and feel sure that you will too. Indeed many of our guests return to Fuchsia Lodge time and time again – something which we view as the highest form of praise! We look forward to welcoming you to Ireland and hope you will create lasting memories in this spectacular part of Ireland.

Why they chose this property

I'm very fortunate to have grown up in this area. The location where Fuchsia Lodge is located was originally part of my dad's farm and he very generously gave me the opportunity to create something very special here.

If you want to escape to a part of the world that is renowned for its spectacular landscapes and warm hospitality, then this is the perfect property. Fuchsia Lodge is located in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and is also a gold tier dark skies reserve - one of only three in the world and the only one in the northern hemisphere. The property is the perfect place to base yourself if you wish to explore Southwest Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way.

The area is a golfers and anglers paradise. The world famous Waterville Golf Links has attracted famous visitors to Waterville for many years and the new course at Hogs Head is truly spectacular. A must visit during your time in Kerry is a visit to the Skellig's UNESCO World Heritage site. A boat trip is required and should be booked as early as possible. You may recognize the famous site, as it was used in the recent Star Wars movies as one of the key film locations.

What makes this property unique

Guests rave about the stunning sunsets and spectacular night skies. Fuchsia Lodge is located in the centre of the Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve. A favorite activity is to visit the Skelligs UNESCO World Heritage site, where Star Wars was filmed - this is one of the leading UNESCO sites worldwide and a once in a lifetime place to visit. The property is warm and cosy year-round due to its use of geothermal underfloor heating and the house has been designed for passive solar gain to enhance its sustainability credentials. 24/7 hot water is available so need to get up early and turn on the water heater. Local wildlife can be seen in abundance - we are regularly visited by hares, hedgehogs, a wide variety of birds, and if you are lucky you may see dolphins swimming in Ballinskelligs Bay in front of the property. Whales and dolphins can be seen regularly on boat trips in the area. Ecotourism. Sustainable Tourism. Nature based holidays and great local food produce.
