Delightful cottage

We loved staying here! The cottage was just as it was presented, and the location was amazing. We took morning walks with the mountain backdrop, experienced the Ring of Kerry, visited Sneem, and, overall, loved our stay. We plan to make Gortagown Cottage a destination for a future trip!

Cute but basic cottage

The cottage is very basic and dated, but the location can’t be beat. It is a lovely, quiet spot (secluded, even) between Kenmare and Sneem. No internet, no frills, but the owners are very nice and the cottage had everything that we needed. We found the bed to be quite hard. We really enjoyed our stay.

Gentle Gortagown

I had a relatively long stay in this dear cottage where I was extremely happy. The setting is quite beautiful with views of rolling hills and the Caha Mountains on the Beara Peninsula. It is pastoral and peaceful, secure, quiet, and private. The location is excellent for exploring the three peninsulas of County Kerry (Iveragh, Beara, and Dingle) and the Killarney National Park. The owners are the best landlords I've ever encountered: kind, helpful, responsive, and fully invested in my comfort and satisfaction. This venerable dwelling is not luxurious, but it is charming, comfortable, well situated, and very affordable. If you are seeking an authentic cottage experience in glorious Kerry, this would be an excellent option for you.

House in a great location

We felt at home. The house is old but tidy, only the kitchen equipment could do with a makeover. The location is mega beautiful, many great excursion destinations within easy reach. Charly recommended a few to us. He is a very nice, attentive yet unobtrusive landlord.
