A short drive from Killarney and a great base for exploring the area.

The beds were comfortable, plenty of showers for the size of the house. We would definitely stay again as it can be hard to get a house of this size close enough to Killarney There was just a couple of maintenance issues that stopped me from giving it 5 stars. If the few repair jobs like the patio door couldn't be opened and the door of the dryer was broken were done it would be perfect. A few small repairs could make such a difference. . All in all I would recommend fernwood.
