Description

If you are looking to get away from it all yet still be within a short enough drive of the closest town then Inchimore Cottage may well be the place for you this summer!  It is surrounded by lovely mature gardens with a flat grassed area for playing ball.  It is a quiet and private spot where you can just switch off and enjoy a break from it all. Located less than 15 minutes drive from Kenmare, it is about 6.5km from the town.

The kitchen is basic but functional and features some lovely traditional wooden beams in the ceiling.  There is a gas range and cooker as well as a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, dining table and the crockery, cutlery and glassware you will need during your stay.

The sitting room is small but cosy and features a welcoming wood burning stove, comfy couches and TV. Please note that mobile phone coverage is quite poor in the cottage and there is no wifi.

The three bedrooms are upstairs – two doubles and one single so in all, the cottage can accommodate up to 5 people.  The bathroom is also upstairs and has a bath and separate shower.
