Description
This is a deceptively spacious 3 bedroom holiday home set within a small, very private group of homes on the Ring of Kerry Golf Club less than a ten minute drive from Kenmare town.
Number 7 is set up at the top and is a detached home with parking just opposite it. It is a very well kept, bright and modern home with plenty of homely touches as the owners use it themselves at certain times of the year. For this reason, the kitchen is well equipped and should have everything you will need during your stay. Please note that although there is a washing machine, there is no tumble dryer in the house – there is a washing line out the back though.
The dining table is a good size and can very comfortably seat up to 8 people. It has a sunny aspect and looks out onto the patio area to the front of the house. Double doors lead into the main sitting room which is really well laid out to take maximum advantage of the space and aspect. A cosy gas stove and a SMART TV provide focal points in the room and there are couches and armchairs for when you want to all sit down together or if you would like to quietly sit down and read a book or the newspaper.
There is a second, smaller sitting room which can either be accessed through the doors which are generally kept closed between the two sitting rooms, or you can use the door from the hallway. This is a great break-out library style room with another SMART TV, gas stove, comfy couches and a selection of books for you to enjoy.
The downstairs bathroom has a toilet, wash hand basin and a wet room style shower.
The three bedrooms are upstairs. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and is ensuite with bath and shower over it. There is another bedroom with a 4ft double (will fit two small adults but may be a little small for many couples to share) and the third bedroom is a twin with two single beds. The family bathrooms is also upstairs and has another bath with a shower over it.
There is a shared back garden area (not enclosed at all) which runs along the back of all the houses on that side of the road. Out the front of the house is a small grassed area and a patio with a table and chairs to seat four.

INFORMATION IN RELATION TO THE ACCESS ROAD TO THE HOLIDAY HOMES:
The final 300 metres of the little access road linking the holiday homes to the Club House is in very bad repair so care must be taken when driving to avoid damage to your tyres and undercarriage. This is an ongoing situation which will hopefully be resolved sooner rather than later…
