Fabulous cottage and quiet and stunning location
What an amazingly beautiful place, we all thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The single track road was interesting at first but after a couple of runs up and down, it became second nature. The location has stunning views and is quiet but not that remote only 3 km from Kenmare.We used the garden room most of the time, when in and enjoyed watching the wildlife in the garden. Kenmare is a lovely town with all the amenities needed and the cottage is ideally located for all of the tourist sites in the region. We loved it!!!

Spacious comfortable home with beautiful views
Overall a comfortable stay with plenty of space. We enjoyed the kitchen, dining and living spaces. Nice to have a wood fireplace to take the chill out. Property has easy parking and large yard with outdoor space. Property is about 2 miles from downtown Kenmare, road to property very narrow. The property was not very clean; dirty microwave, toilet, lots of cobwebs, as well as food left in freezer/cupboards, missing press for coffee maker and missing lint trap in dryer (making everything very linty and eating any socks, small garments).

Wo sich Hirsche und Hasen auf der Strasse tummeln
Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage in diesem gemütlichen sehr schönen Ferienhaus. Die Zufahrt ist sehr Romantisch. Es gab keinen Tag, an dem wir nicht Rehe oder Hasen auf der Strasse hatten. Die Lage ist traumhaft für Ruhesuchende und ein toller Ausgangspunkt für Tagesausflüge.
Alles was man braucht ist im Haus vorhanden. Es ist sauber, sehr gemütlich, und für das erste Kaminfeuer ist alles vorbereitet.
Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind viele vorhanden. Vom Biomarkt bis zum Discounter ist alles gut erreichbar und auch nach einem Tagesausflug oder Ausflug ist Einkaufen kein Problem.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bestimmt wieder.

Beautiful Oak Wood House!
We really enjoyed our stay at Oak Wood House.The desciption of the house and the location were bang on. It was very clean and comfortable and we loved the tea/coffee and applepie to welcome us. The owner was very friendly and hospitable. Close to lovely Kenmare, ring of Kerry/Beara and Killarney National Park.
We would highly recommend staying here.
