Surfing classes are held here regularly, during the summer months. The area is great for bird watching enthusiasts.

Summary: Nice large house with everything you need. Ideal starting point for exploring the Ring of Kerry. Maria had answers to all of our questions 🙂

Summary: The stay was very nice. The furnishings in the house are older, but in good order. The kitchen was not completely clean. The appliances in the kitchen were spotty and there were crumbs in the cupboard. The gas cooker took some getting used to if you never cook with gas. Apart from that, the cobwebs and the associated spiders were a nuisance. There are very few water glasses and spoons in the house, there could be more.

Summary: The house is very pleasant, the location very quiet and the view magnificent. The owner is very friendly and communication was excellent, thank you Maria. The little town of Cahersiveen, a 10 minute drive away, is lovely and has everything you need (we recommend The Fertha Bar, which has great food, and Quinlans Fish, which sells top quality fish).

Summary: Very spacious house with wonderful views. Comfortable and under floor heating meant always right temperature. Liking a log fire, this never needed. Being Kerry, one needs to be prepared for all weathers. This house very well suited to sitting in for hours -days where that weather forbids going out. Recommended, and without qualification would return for future trips

Summary: For some of us this was their first visit to Ireland, and for the remainder, their first visit to Kerry for many years. My only regret is that we had left it so long. Maybe it was because the weather was pretty good, that we enjoyed ourselves so much, but your house certainly helped. We all loved the spaciousness of the house and garden,the proximity to the beach and the variety of things to do. Thank you for leaving some provisions in for us, but where was the case of wine ? (joke). One or two very minor issues -maybe other British guests might have wanted to watch UK TV stations, although we were quite glad to get away from them. CDs are old technology now, but I would have liked to play some of ours. Overall, this was a memorable holiday . Thank you, Roger Johnson

Summary: We stayed here with our two daughters for two weeks. We’re regular visitors to Kerry, and this house gave us a great base to do the things we love doing in the Kingdom, as well as the opportunity to explore new places and experiences. The house itself is spacious and well laid out. It was very clean and had everything required for a great stay. The large utility room Is great, especially if you’re travelling with kids, as it can be used for getting ready for/coming back from beach excursions/long walks etc. The views from the house towards Reenroe Beach are amazing and can be enjoyed on the strand-facing veranda. The ample and private garden was great for our children. They spent plenty of time running around outside. We also had the bonus of watching Irish hares visit and play in the garden. The wood burning stove provides a great atmosphere in the evening and it’s fantastic to be able to have the fire on the go, look out at the sea and enjoy a glass of wine and a book. That’s another thing - a great library of classic literature, Irish interest (cuid acu as Gaeilge), contemporary fiction and non-fiction. Great added bonus if you enjoy reading. All in, we had a superb holiday here despite the weather being changeable at times, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Go raibh míle maith agaibh Maria agus John, is tá súil againn go mbeidh muid ábalta a theacht ar áis am éigean sa todhchaí.

Summary: We did manage to have a lovely time here, and thoroughly enjoyed the changing sky and sea views. We were visited by a beautiful Irish Mountain Hare, loved listening to the birds, and saw some amazing starry nights. We were well situated to explore the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Skellig. The owner, who does not live locally, was very welcoming by email and sent us a detailed list of directions, house rules, suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. There was mention of an instruction book in the house, but we didn't find one. We didn't fully appreciate how isolated the house was, but we did find it, and got used to the narrow, hedgerow-lined commute. Unfortunately, the house smelled badly of insecticide when we arrived, with a competing musty odor, and appeared not to have been used in a long time. But we swept up the dead flies and aired things out as best we could. I don't know if this is standard for Ireland, as this was our first visit, but some basic supplies were not provided. There was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom - no extras. There was almost no dish soap, so we had to add water to the tiny bit that was there. There was no laundry soap, so our plans to do laundry on the last day before heading to Wales, was thwarted. There was no soap or shampoo for the shower. These are all things that could be easily fixed to make the next visitors feel more welcome and less hassled with small details while on vacation. Also, the light switches for the outdoor lights were taped off for some unknown reason. And there were no smoke detectors, even in the kitchen. There were several empty hooks on the walls, where there may have been a picture in the past. Thankfully, the beds were comfortable. This house has a lot of potential and with a few minor touchups could be amazing.
