About this property

Overlooking St Finian's Bay and located just 4 miles from the popular seaside village of Ballinskelligs, County Kerry is this pretty, detached, holiday cottage. Set across one floor and offering basic but comfortable accommodation, the highlight of this Ballinskelligs cottage is undoubtedly the panoramic sea views that can be enjoyed to the front while lounging in the sunny, south-facing garden. The three bedrooms at this Ballinskelligs cottage include two twin rooms, representing perfect sleeping accommodation for a family group, or small gathering of friends. Hikers can enjoy hillwalking from the doorstep, while the spectacular Skellig Rocks, which can be viewed in the distance, are home to a 7th century monastery and can be reached by a short, invigorating boat ride - a must see for visitors to the area. Sea fishing can be enjoyed locally, while there is a selection of golf courses nearby, most notably the Waterville Golf Links. The Blue Flag beach at Ballinskelligs is always popular with families, and young visitors can take advantage of the playground just a stone's throw away. The cottage is also just half a mile from the local beach and a chocolate factory!
