Step through into the hallway, where you will find a snug sitting room to your left, ideal for gathering together at any time of day amongst the warmth of the woodburning stove, making it a great spot to take advantage of the books, games and DVDs provided, or simply relish in each other’s company. Following through to the rear of the property will bring you to the kitchen/diner, a spacious area where you can gather around the dining table to enjoy home-cooked delights prepared in the amply-equipped kitchen before engaging in an evening of board games. When the evening draws to a close, retreat to one of the two bedrooms to catch up on your rest; offering you a ground floor truckle bedroom and a king-size bedroom with an extra day bed and its own en-suite bathroom, the layout of the property is ideal for a family structure, with a bright and airy aura throughout both of the resting spots.

    Comfortable bed, good shower, plenty of hot water. WiFi slow at times but usable. Generous welcome pack. Close to The Greenway, an excellent cycling and walking path. Friendly owners next door if needed. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would be happy to return.

  • Melanie

    Very comfortable and well equipped. Good location, dog friendly beach and walks close by. Close to some very good restaurants and cafes. Owners very friendly and helpful. A big thank you to them for their help when our car battery failed.

  • Caroline

    Providing bread, milk, butter, eggs, biscuits for arrival was a nice touch. Our dog Teddy had fun playing with Mylo. Had delicious meals in the Tankard pub and Oyster tavern nearby. Was a great location to explore Dingle peninsula and Ring of Kerry. Would definitely recommend.
