A quiet, secluded, peaceful spot conveniently near the ferry. Great walks in the area, the nearby cliffs of Ballybunion are beautiful, and the castle makes a lovely neighbor. The birds really love the remains of the original manor house, and we enjoyed watching their antics. Lovely spot!
We stayed here for a few days on our Ireland vacation and it was wonderful. The house is exactly as described and conveniently located to the ferry. It allowed us to go the Cliffs of Mohr, something we didn't think we would have time to do. Great hosts, great place, truly a unique experience.
We could not have loved this property more! Beautiful setting, lovely home, it had everything we wanted and needed for our stay near Ballylongford. Super convenient location for trips to Ballybunion and the Dingle peninsula as well as Killarney.
Angela is a thoughtful and communicative host, and she was very easy to deal with. We loved our time at her property and would stay again.

Very enjoyable stay in a lovely area.
We found great difficulty dealing with Vrbo on a number of aspects and would not recommend them to any other potential user of their services. However, the owner of the property, when we did managed to make contact with her, was a very pleasant and cooperative lady.

Interesting property, attached to an OLD castle, and another in walking distance. We did have a problem with the shower and the host was able to get it. Replaced within 48 hours, but it was incredibly inconvenient and disappointing. Limited our ability to travel for one and a half days. The Internet is slow and intermittent, but we didn’t really need it other than for basic communications. The TV and streaming apps simply paused, didn’t work Consistently throughout our trip.
However, the property is beautiful and the home is well-maintained other than what I outlined above
