The property is at an idle location in the ring of Kerry down South with stunning views. The property is clean, quite and provided us ample of space to enjoy it. Bernie and Deer have a friendly personality. Few recommendations being the heating to be allowed around the clock instead of 8 to 11 in evening and to add toiletries. This did not dampen our hols as I purchased some firewood from the local station and used the log burner. Otherwise the furniture and everything else is good.

The house was spotless and very well set up with all amenities. Bernie and Derry are welcoming and happy to share insights and local colour. The fact that we could bring our dog, and Bernie and Derry were relaxed about having him there, was a real bonus. The cottage is very rural and peaceful with expansive countryside views - but only minutes into Waterville and a great gateway for exploring the area, the Skellig Ring drive as well as the wider Ring of Kerry. I really recommend you choose this for your next stay!

The hosts Bernie and Kerry were so friendly and helpful and we would love to come back again. The house is within easy reach of local beaches ( Ballinskelligs bay is a must) and a good base for day trips to Killarney , Sneem, Tralee, Dingle and Kenmare. There is so much to see and do your time will just fly by. Looking forward to returning in the future.
