I've given 5 stars because this cottage met our preferences perfectly very near to people and places associated with my family and with good access to the two lovely towns of Kenmare and Sneem as well as the mountains and sea. The astonishing views, the nature area, the quiet, the 6ft wide double bed for two people who often don't sleep so well... The cottage is basic but clean and comfortable enough. (I've not taken points off for the odd piece of equipment that were a little bit tired). It's more spacious than the photos suggest. We have had a very happy week here. Recommended

Great location and a short drive from Kenmare

We had a great week at Bedrock cottage, we were able to easily access the Beara Peninsula as well as other magnificent parts of the Ring of Kerry. We especially enjoyed The Reeks and cycling on the roads in the area. The tearooms at Lord Brandon's cottage were really great (cash only). We had a fantastic time.

Hillside view of inlet is beautiful

Bedrock cottage was a great find. It has a beautiful view of the lough or inlet and mountains beyond. Short drive to Kenmare which has many pub and restaurant offerings. A quiet hillside location surrounded by wildflowers. Could use a more comfortable couch.

A magical view. A helpful host. A gateway to Kenmare.

Bedrock cottage was indeed a marvel. The view of Kenmare Bay may be one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The Irish light changed the mountain scape of Beara every hour. The house was very comfortable, the kitchen, bedrooms, bath, all splendid. The owner was very helpful and communicative. I would go back in a second.

Ideal base with magnificent views

Bedrock is an ideal base to explore the Ring of Kerry, the National Park, Kenmare , the cliffs, hills and sea shores in comfortable driving distance. The ever changing views over the Kenmare River (bay) are just magnificent at any time of day and tidal level. Bedrock is well equipped and a homely residence .

Great place with amazing view on Kenmare bay

We spent a super week between Kenmare and Sneem, close to the Ring of Kerry. Very nice cottage, silent (no traffic) with a beautiful view over the Kenmare bay. Communication was very good, always quick/immediate. All necessary information was given prior to our arrival. No problems whatsoever - we would return whenever we should travel the same region in future.

Stay at Bedrock

A fabulous location in wonderful countryside. Linda very helpful. A swarm of bees arrived at the same time as us and Linda went out of her way to deal with it including alternative accommodation in a nearby hotel while it was sorted. Many thanks Linda. Tim

Cosy practical cottage with a fantastic view with floor warming everywhere

I can only be enthousiastic about this cottage. Warm welcome with several presents, much privacy. The floorwarming made it feel warm everywhere. Much light entered the windows, showing a scenary beyond imagination. I felt home from the first moment. The kitchen and all equipment functioned well . That was not the case in several former cottages.The central location near Killarny National Park and the ocean did not require long trips to experience extraordinarily natural beauty. Only the weather was challenging that week.

Bedrock cottage: peace and quiet

Wonderful views over the Kenmare River. A great area for sitting outside, with picnic table. Big windows. Surrounded by trees, flowers and birds. Super efficient heating and Wi-Fi. Well-equipped kitchen. Quite remote, up a narrow lane, not suitable for driving back after an evening in the pub! Needs a little updating: curtains in bedrooms are very thin, letting in light in the mornings; a couple of floor lamps in the sitting area would make reading easier in the evenings; and a new sofa would be nice. Anyway we had a great stay - and if you like peace and quiet, and great views, this one’s for you!
