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!

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.

Perfect Little Getaway

The cottages location allowed us to explore the Kerry coast and the Killarney National Park while providing the peace and quiet to properly relax and enjoy the warm Irish summer nights. Michael was an exemplary host, meeting us at the cottage, running through the many facilities the property had to offer, while also imparting local knowledge. Michael even attempted to organise a trip to the Skelligs for us, and although his friend was fully booked, this is an example of how Michael goes above and beyond for his guests. The cottage itself was wonderful, the log fire and Jacuzzi bath particular favourites of ours.

Perfect little getaway

Michael was a very accommodating host - he met us on arrival to take us to the house and even got the fire going for us. The house was absolutely perfect, very well equipped, it had everything we needed and more. So cosy and made for a very relaxing weekend. Kerry was fantastic, we loved exploring the area and taking in the stunning local scenery. The house was great, the location was great, we couldn't have asked for a better weekend! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Romantic getaway in a stunning location

Michael the owner could not of done anymore. We arrived late on the Friday night and he had the fire going for us. It was so warm and cozy throughout the cottage. The jacuzzi bath is an excellent touch to help you unwind and forget about your hectic lives. The property is spotless throughout and the four poster bed is a lovely addition. The location is perfect for walks around the area and is also a few minutes drive to a spectacular beach. The beach was amazing we where there each day for a romantic walk, it was very quiet which felt like we had it all to ourselves! There is a shop less than 5 minutes away for all the essentials. And a beautiful couch you can cuddle up in front of the wood/turf fire. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage and would love to visit again. June and Vinny

Simply beautiful

If you are looking for a place called paradise- this is it! What a beautiful and luxurious little cottage surrounded by a amazing scenery. The sea is only a stone's throw away and can be seen even from the bedroom window. Every single detail in the house is chosen carefully and makes you feel home. Well, this place is even better than home....

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.

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.
