2 Bedroom Cottage in Sneem

NB** (Bookings available for minimum of a week Friday - Friday only. Check in 6pm - check out 10am). This Traditional Irish cottage is situated on the 'Ring of Kerry' 'Wild Atlantic Way' and the ‘Dark Sky Reserve’.
It is nestled between mountains on one side, and the sea on the other.
It was built in 1917, and was occupied until 1995 by a lady called Annie O''Leary, this is why it’s called 'Annie's Cottage'.
In 1997 the interior of the cottage was modified somewhat to optimise space and light and incorporate necessities such as a shower and toilet, kitchen etc. It was superbly designed and retained all the charm and character of the traditional cottage, eg beams on the ceilings downstairs & sloping ceilings upstairs.
The exterior has all its original stone.
The cottage is tastefully decorated & furnishings etc are of a very high standard.
There is central heating throughout, & electric blankets (heated) on the beds. This is for the comfort of winter visitors.
Downstairs: There is a cosy sitting room with an oil stove and TV. Kitchen: is very well equipped, and has everything you’ll need to exercise your culinary skills during your holiday.
Next to the kitchen is a sun-room/dining-room which has a solid fuel stove. (Briquettes and coal can be purchased in Sneem village). From the sunroom you go on to a patio and secure garden.
Relax looking out at nature, or have a BBQ, in the privacy of these tranquil surroundings or maybe read your favourite book.
Upstairs: A toilet and hand basin, and a separate shower.
Sleeping accommodation in this beautiful cottage comprises of two double bedrooms (one double bed in each room) sleeps four people.
All rooms have original sloping ceilings.
'Annie's Cottage' is an ideal location for touring & exploring the south west of Ireland.
The breathtaking scenery of the Ring of Kerry, Beara peninsula, Dingle peninsula & Killarney can all be savoured on a day trip from your accommodation.
When you step outside the door of the cottage you can breathe the freshness & the different fragrances of the countryside.
For the walking enthusiast, you can enjoy the famous ‘Kerry Way’ which is accessible from the cottage. This rugged mountainous route have some spectacular views of south west Kerry, the Atlantic Ocean and West Cork.
Staigue Fort, is just a few miles from the cottage and is the finest example of a stone ringfort in Ireland. It is thought to be more than 2500 years old.
Another 'must visit' is Sceilig Michael, where Star Wars was filmed.
**(NB)To avoid disappointment, boat trips to land on Sceillig Michael have to be booked well in advance of your holiday date. There are also boat trips which circle the island - they don’t land the visitors.

Summary: Evelyn and her husband are absolutely warm people. The welcome was just as friendly as were the tips for exploring the area. The weather was typically Irish. We were still able to do a lot.

Summary: The cottage is as described. Nice touch is that the family history of the last Irish inhabitant is shown on the wall. Living and kitchen are rather dark. Conservatory is really nice and light. Local roads are narrow and winding so max speed of 80 or 100 km/hr cannot be reached. Hence supermarket (Kenmare) is 45-60 min drive depending on traffic. Supply of towels is rather limited: 1 bath towel per person for a 4 night stay.

Summary: Very cosy feel away from tourist crowds. liked that it was in the middle of the Ring of Kerry drive, 2 beaches close by - our favourite was OCaroll's cove as suggested by Evelyn. Evelyn and her husband were very welcoming and accommodating. Enjoyed our stay. Wished we could have spent more time. We will surely visit again

Summary: This cottage is located in a beautiful quiet area but is still only a 10 minute drive to Sneem where some really good restaurants can be found. From the cottage there is a lovely walk to a pier and a little coral beach so beautiful. Evelyn and Danny were great host's and were always available if needed. A really enjoyable week with wonderful scenery,sunshine and great hospitality.

Summary: Perfect location to explore Ring of Kerry. Short drive from Sneem, Caherdaniel, Derrynane beach etc. Pier at end of road great for swimming. Evelyn and Dan were the perfect hosts and couldn't do enough for us. It was a pleasure to meet them and they made us truly feel at home, nothing was too much trouble. The house is an old Irish cottage and is exactly as seen in the pictures. We arrived home feeling totally refreshed. Hope to return some day.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Annie's Cottage. Evelyn was a friendly, kind and generous host, who was only ever a text message away. The cottage is quiet, calm and in a beautiful countryside location. We swam most days at the nearby pier, a 10minutes drive to the end of the road. The town is a 15minute drive away, which has plenty of places to enjoy a meal or a drink. Would 100% recommend this cottage.
