Stunning views and location
The property was incredibly peaceful and well kept, the host was kind and helpful, and the location and views were extraordinary.
The only thing that could have been better were bathroom facilities, although everything worked fine and no complaints.

Stunning spot!
Excellent location with stunning views. Host so accommodating, friendly and responsive. The space is lovely, especially the living room and sun room looking out over the cliffs. It was clean and well-equipped.
Bathrooms and kitchen could do with updating but they’re perfectly serviceable and usable.

Fabulous location, lovely house
We had a lovely, relaxing week at Allaghee Mor. The view is just magnificent. The house is lovely and Mary, the host, was very welcoming and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to book this house if I'm travelling to the Iveragh peninsula again.

Beautiful home with fantastic view of Skellig Michael
The home had a magnificent view and was supplied with all amenities. It has a full kitchen with dishwasher and 3 bedrooms. Plenty of room and a beautiful sun room looking out at the sea.
The house is perfect as is.

Spectacular location
We had a wonderful week in Allaghee Mor on the majestic Ring of Kerry! The house is spacious and comfortable and the views are hard to turn away from (although it is a real shame that the council stuck those power lines there!). The house has good WiFi, the kitchen was well equipped and the location, while quiet and peaceful is within easy reach of fabulous points of interest along the Ring of Kerry and great places to eat in Portmagee, Caherciveen. Waterville and at St. Finian’s Bay. It was also great to be able to take our dog with us - he loved it too!
The house is perhaps in need of a little updating re: the bathrooms. Also, for the price we paid for a week’s stay I would have thought electricity and heating costs might be included, small as they were.

Phantastische Lage mit freiem Blick auf den Atlantik
Das Haus liegt etwas abgelegen, was für uns kein Problem war, ein Auto ist allerdings notwendig. Die Lage ist phantastisch, wir haben es bei jedem Wetter und jeden Tag genossen. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig, bei schlechtem Wetter gut zu heizen. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen Selbstversorgerurlaub benötigt.
Wir können es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Excellent holiday location in the Ring of Skellig
Living room is spacious and accommodating, kitchen well equipped, beds comfortable and views to the west - simply breath-taking.
Walking in the area does nor require driving, cliffs are 30m away and if you are up to it - you can do some mountain hiking.
1. The element of lack of proper ventilation throughout is probably most applicable to the winter months, when humidity accumulates and dampness can be felt when breathing in.
2. Bathrooms could use a refurbishment.
