Outside there is a private garden with furniture where you can sit and relax with a refreshing drink whilst planning the rest of your days out. Further afield is Burkes Activity Centre, which is only a short stroll away, and should appeal to families, with a host of activities including horse trekking. Pony trekking and horse riding can be enjoyed on the beach, and on mountain tracks and quiet country roads nearby. The magnificent four mile sandy stretch of Blue Flag Rossbeigh beach is also ideal for children. Golfers are particularly spoiled with many of Kerry's finest courses nearby, including Dooks, Killarney, Waterville, Beaufort, Tralee and Ballybunion. A delightful cottage in a beautiful location.

The house itself is in need of updating, particularly the bathroom where the shower is very difficult to use as it is too close to the wall and difficult to direct into the bath. The oil central heating has been disconnected which is a shame as the house felt and smelt very damp. If the price was increased and included heating I think people would be more inclined to have the electric radiators on and this may help with the damp. Overall, it would be a great place to stay in warmer weather, the beach is on the doorstep and Kerry's other attractions are in easy reach.

TV is about the size of a small envelope. Location is good and scenery is amazing.

The cottage has beautiful views of Dingle Bay to the front and is nestled in beautiful mountains just behind. You will struggle to find a better place from which to explore the kingdom of Kerry. I did not come in a vehicle yet got around to the places I wanted to see with relative ease. Lorraine (who manages the property), was helpful and available as and when I needed. Glenbeigh (2km away) is where youâll find your nearest shops, restaurants, pubs etc. Come prepared with loose change (in â¬1 and â¬2 coins) for the electricity meter! Everything in the house is run off electricity and it took me a few days of scrabbling around for change to get myself sorted. The post office and shop in Glenbeigh were happy to provide though. The place needs quite a bit of heating in the winter time (including the water for showers, baths, etc), so be aware of this whenever you are planning your visit. You can also light a fire, but will need to buy additional fuel, so all costs arenât quite included on the listed price. Otherwise the place had everything I needed and I really enjoyed my stay.
