Sanctuary during a stormy holiday
Our family adored our stay at the Fuschia Lodge in County Kerry. Gorgeous property with every available amenity, especially if you're a person who likes to cook and bake during a holiday. The stormy weather with gale force winds didn't bother us as we were snug in our comfy home with views that go on forever across the white capped sea.

Ireland West Coast is so Beautiful
The house/property/location is beautiful. The western side of Ireland is so beautiful. One gorgeous view after another. My wife and I, along with two other couples stayed at the house for the week. We enjoyed it so much. We flew in/ and started our trip in Dublin. Then drove out to house (should have given ourselves more time to get out to the house. Didn't expect for the roads to be quite so small and the GPS will not necessarily send you the right direction). The days after, we went to Waterville, Cahersiveen, Doolin, Galway, Killarney, Dingle, Kenmare and Cork. Everyone of them beautiful. We would have like to seen more, but ran out of time (you can't get anywhere fast)(and be prepared for it to rain every day). But that is part of the beauty of Western Ireland. Getting rid of trash/rubbish is bit of an issue also. Despite the roads, we had a great time.

Stunning views, great for family groups!
We stayed at Fuschia Lodge for a mont. it was truly a fantastic property. You have views from all four bedrooms across the Ballinskelligs Bay. Quarter mile .5 km walk to the beach access. Lovely walk about 4 mi, 6.5 km on the lanes around the lodge. All appliances worked well once we figured out where the electric on switch was!
About 3 km to Waterville. There are 2 nice pubs there, the Lobster and the Villa. At the Villa every Tuesday is open mic and locals come to play and sing. There is a Centra grocery store there and two other restaurants. We were there in mid April-mid May so missed the summer crowds.
I really can’t recommend this place highly enough. It is stunning and has thoughtful details like a full sauna, lots of parking, and a clothesline.
Thank you Caragh! We loved our stay!

Views are stunning
The property is outstanding and we could have sat on the couches and stared out the window, all week. You can see cliffs, a beach and a beautiful view to hills on the other side of the bay. We had a couple of days of poor weather and simply stayed in and enjoyed the property. We had a few mechanical issues but most of them were our own ignorance of how the appliances worked. Caragh helped through any issues and we had a terrific stay. We would of course reccomend this property to all lovers of this beautiful area of Ireland.

Theirs a reason they call Kerry the Kingdom!
Kerry is the closest you will come to heaven, and this absolutely beautiful home is a perfect example of a little slice of heaven. My family which included my Dad, my two sisters with their partners and my girlfriend and I and her 8 year old daughter just spent a week here. We chose this location as my Mam’s ashes are scattered just up the road in Derrynane and it was conveniently located to visit the towns that my Mam and Dad frequented when visiting their favourite place in Ireland. The house has everything you could possibly want. Proximity to the town is brilliant just a nice walk, the beach a short stroll and the views oh my God, I can never get sick of them no matter what the weather is. Caragh the owner was extremely pleasant and helpful and the house is kitted out with everything you could possibly need. I will return to this house again as it exceeded our dreams of what we might even be walking into. I cannot praise this house and location enough and words don’t justify how beautiful it truly is. I would strongly recommend anyone looking to travel to Kerry to stay here “Just not when I want to please!”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Fuchsia Lodge. The house is beautiful, clean and well stocked with everything we needed and we couldn't get enough of the spectacular views from all sides of the house! Caragh was an excellent communicator for our sightseeing questions and the welcome basket was lovely to arrive to after our long travel from the US. The location was perfect, right along the Ring of Kerry and we took full advance of driving each day to explore all the wonderful sights and towns along the The Kerry Way! Highly recommend this 5 star!

We had a really great time in this beautiful house in this beautiful location. There were hares and stonechats and field pipits in the garden, coastal walks, and we made the trek to Dingle for a rib ride to see dolphins, puffins, and minke whale.

Amazing property and location
We were two families staying in the Autumn half term. Kids from age 10 up.
The views across the bay are incredible. The sunsets stunning. The cottage is designed with this in mind. Allowing you to have breathtaking views in the warmth of inside. I’d imagine in the summer it would be brilliant. BBQ’s all the time.
The cottage it’s self is clean, well equipped, modern. Plenty of space all en-suite / private bathroom. The location is a good few miles from local amenities not that was a problem for us.
If we were coming back to the area we’d rebook in a heartbeat.
Thanks for a lovely holiday!

We loved our week at Fuschia Lodge. Thank you Caragh for the warm welcome on arrival. The basket of goodies was a nice touch too. The house is just lovely, beautifully appointed with plenty of space inside and out for everyone and very comfortable too (we were a family of 8 - ages 13 to 84). The views are just breathtaking and we enjoyed some gorgeous sunsets. We had a wonderful base for the week to explore this magical party of Kerry. Valentia Island and Derrynane Beach were highlights for us.
From Fuschia Lodge we strolled along the coast most days and even swam from the slip way (1km to left of Fuschia Lodge) into the crystal clear water of Ballinskelligs Bay .. wetsuits optional! bring goggles and enjoy the rich kelp forest on the sea bed. It was a magical holiday. We will be back!
