Nice house to discover the West-coast of Ireland
Close to town
3 rooms and 2 bathrooms
Washing machine and dryer
Good location to start from for discovering the West-coast
On the Kerry Way walking trail
The bathrooms could need a renovation, they are somewhat outdated ( but still functional)

Hi Gert
Thank you for your review of Stone Cottage Holiday Home, Kenmare, Co. Kerry.
We appreciate your business and comments and hope to welcome you again to Trident Holiday Homes.
This property location was great. Easy to walk into town and running trails near. Easy to drive the Beara, Ring of Kerry and Dingle peninsulas from this location. The property manager “Heather” was awesome. She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. She gave us suggestions on what to visit and see which we did and would not have if it wasn’t for her. The town of Kenmare is definitely a “ Tidy Town”.
The only thing that could be better is the shower pressure on the main floor could be stronger. When exiting the property with your car I had my wife check the traffic before I pulled out onto the road. Pedestrians and cars are very hard to see.

Fantastic House in a fantastic Location
As a base for the Ring of Kerry, this house would be hard to beat.
However, information relating to the operation of the heating, the hot water system and the internet were sadly lacking. These details ate into our holiday time in what was otherwise a delightful stay. It must be noted however, that the property's perimeter fencing, hedging and gates are NOT pet secure.

Een heerlijk verblijf in een prachtig huis
Het huis ligt op een mooie locatie net buiten Kenmare. Lopend naar het centrum is een wandeling van 10 minuten via het wandelpad "the Kerry way" die ook langs het huis loopt.
Het huis is goed onderhouden, is netjes en schoon en de keuken is pas vernieuwd en met alle gemakken voorzien! Genoeg bestek voor 6pers, pannen en serviesgoed. Het huis is een prima uitvalsbasis om dagtochten te maken. Wij hadden in mei prachtig zonnig weer en de tuin heerft genoeg plekken om de hele dag in de zon te zitten, buiten te eten en koffie te drinken. Er staan zelfs een wasmachine en een droger ter beschikking. Het huis heeft 3 toiletten en 2 badkamers. Handdoeken en toiletpapier aanwezig bij aankomst. Al met al een heel fijn vakantiehuis op een mooie plek, dicht bij het centrum van Kenmare.
Voor de dagelijkse boodschappen, Centra, Lidl en Aldi in de buurt.
Kussentjes in de tuinstoelen zou fijn zijn! Verder geen verbeterpunten op te merken.

Roomy cottage in wonderful Kerry The Kingdom
Stone Cottage is very spacious and well equipped. The garden is wrap around with space to sit out. and plenty of room for cars. The property is a flat 15 minute walk to lovely Kenmare Town and has great access to The Kerry Way walking route. Location for visiting the splendour of both Kerry and Cork is excellent.
The property is dog friendly but there are holes in the hedge so not fully secure. The garden furniture is in need of updating. The biggest negative was the shocking fuel bill where we were charged Euro 90 close to an extra nights accommodation.
