Lovely cottage with gorgeous view of inlet and mountains. Well furnished, clean and well-equipped. Short drive to Kenmare which has lots of options for eating and drinking and good supermarket choice. Perfectly located in Kerry to allow trips to Dingle, Killarney and West Cork beauty spots. Owners live next door but are unobtrusive yet very friendly. I would definitely be happy to return here and hopefully get drier weather to enjoy the terrace.
Only warnings are that the shower is small and the stairs steep. This might not suit some people, although there is a bedroom and toilet downstairs.
