Nearby Kenmare (4 miles) was laid out in 1775 and, despite a thriving business community, it has managed to preserve its old world charm. There are excellent restaurants and two five star hotels, not to mention colourful pubs and quaint little shops. Killarney lies in the opposite direction and has much to lure the visitor. There are golf clubs galore, with The Ring of Kerry Golf Course virtually on the doorstep and 2 more courses nearby. Fishing, hiking and horse riding are available also.

Every changing backdrop

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spacious home. We had everything we needed for our family. The view was ever changing with the mountains playing hide and seek in the weather. Rainy day or sunny we had a blast and we will be returning. Kaat, Ivan, Noor en Rune"

Great base for exploring Kerry

"Excellent place to stay - in a quiet spot with a large garden and lovely views, yet a short drive to the lively pubs and restaurants of Kenmare. The house was so spacious and well-equipped, with everything you could possibly need. Eithne welcomed us warmly. Sadly the weather wasn't so obliging. Still, we loved our trips to Derrynane beach, the Beara peninsula, Killarney National Park and Gleninchaquin, among others, and warming up afterwards in a pub or in front of a toasty fire at Pairc na Gealai!"
