Lovely stay in Ireland

We loved staying here while enjoying Ireland. The house and yard are welcoming for a restful time at home and situated for trips to every special place in SW Ireland. Everything needed for a wonderful stay is provided. Caretaker Evelyn is friendly and helpful as needed. Such a wonderful place to stay.

An Cocnan stay

The location is beautiful and private and easy to find . Accommodation is spacious and comfortable enough ( apart from the pillows but everyone has different preferences) but felt a bit dark . It seems there is a damp issue as the property unfortunately smelt mildewy and the bed clothes were all damp on arrival which meant we had to use own blankets for the night - we wondered if there is scope to improve ventilation . The water took a long time to heat for a bath … We walked on local footpath near house and saw a Sika deer very close up. Killarney national park was exceptionally beautiful. We also managed to get to Kerry Cliffs and explore coastline including St. Finans bay . We had a lovely stay overall with a few sunny spells.

Lovely and clean, very well kept and it was easy to live here. We enjoyed good weather so sitting outside for breakfast was wonderful, looking out across the fields, the mountains, the water. Just a 5 minute drive to Sneem meant it was easy to find shops and pubs close by. In the other direction, the glorious beaches at WhiteStrand and Derrynane were regular spots to take our dog and go swimming. Dieter and Heike's house was a great place to stay.

Lovely location

The host Dieter were fast to respond to messages, and were kind enough to be our host. Cottage were in a great location, ideal to see the southwestern parts of this beautiful country! I've yet so tire of green hills, rocky mountains, and seaside cliffs. Caretakers were super kind, and we spent a cosy week in this cottage ❤️ This was our first time in Ireland, and it was a great way to spend the time 🤗 It's certainly not the last!!

Sehr schönes Haus , super nette und hilfsbereite Caretakerin.

Das Haus liegt mitten im Grünen. Es ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Man findet alles, was man braucht ( z. B. Boxen und verschließbare Plastiktüten für ein Picknick, Kerzen, Spiele, eine sehr gut ausgestattete Küche mit vielen Utensilien …) Man kann draußen auf der Bank sitzen und den weiten Blick auf das Meer genießen oder am Abend gemütlich am Kamin sitzen. Das Haus ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für verschiedene Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Ein riesengroßes Lob bekommt Evelin, die Caretakerin von uns. Wir hatten große Probleme mit dem Mietwagen und Evelin hat keine Mühe gescheut, uns tatkräftig zu unterstützen. Vielen, vielen Dank dafür. Trotz unserer ( selbstverschuldeter ) Probleme zu Beginn hatten wir einen wundervollen Aufenthalt.

Entspannte Woche in einem wunderschönen Cottage

Das Cottage liegt direkt am Ring of Kerry und ist dabei sehr ruhig und extrem gemütlich. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wohlgefühlt. Bei wechselndem Wetter mit viel Sonnenschein und Regen haben wir neben Wanderungen z.B. am Derrynane House und Ausflügen in die Umgebung z.B. nach Valentina Island die Entspannung und Ruhe in dem hübsch eingerichteten Cottage genossen.

A fabulous week!

A very nice cottage with a real seaview. Everything you need is in the cottage. Beds are comfortables, the kitchen is very well equipped. The cottage is situated on the Ring of Kerry. The village of Sneem is only 10 minutes away by car. In the area you can do nice walks. Go to Derrynane for instance for a walk. When you are there, take a boat trip on the Atlantic Ocean and Kenmare Bay, if you are lucky, like we were, you will get to see dolphins!

Eine Woche Urlaub direkt am Ring of Kerry

Die Unterkunft macht einen recht sauberen Eindruck. Die Küche ist samt Spülmaschine, 2 Backöfen (!), Wasserkocher und diversen Küchenutensilien sehr gut ausgestattet. Insgesamt ist es ein sehr schönes und gemütliches Haus. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und kommen sicher gerne wieder :) PS: Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern ist ausgezeichnet!
