Located in Caragh, this cottage is in a rural area and near the beach. Kerry Bog Village Museum and Coomasaharn Scribed Stones are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Dooks Golf Links and Burke's Beach Riding. Dhu Varren Garden and Kells Bay House & Gardens are also worth visiting. Scuba diving and windsurfing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and hiking/biking trails nearby.
The property was perfect for our six night stay, very spacious with well appointed rooms and an excellent kitchen with all home from home appliances.The property was well maintained and exceptionally clean.Bridget was the perfect host providing useful information about the property on arrival and where to visit for the surrounding area.
Bridget could not have been nicer This was our second time staying here. Super clean everything you could want to feel just like home. Would highly recommend we will definitely return .
A very comfortable place to be with beautiful views. A warm welcome from Bridget. The scenery is spectacular especially with the beautiful weather we had. Fantastic drives round the Dingle peninsula and down to the Skelligs.
Bridget and Dan's place was amazing! It was extremely clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. We felt right at home. Bridget left us milk and treats which was very nice to have. They were great with communication and live next door. When the Wifi went down and I let them know, Dan came right over and fixed the issue. The house was very convenient to sites in the Kerry area. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend their place to others.
Property was better than the pics. Super clean and in the best location for day trips all around. Great views of the mountains from all windows and a very quiet area. Excellent place and priced very reasonable. Dan and Bridget were great hosts. Many thanks for helping make our trip to Ireland awesome!!
A spacious, clean, comfortable, well equipped & well maintained property in a peaceful setting just off the Ring of Kerry. Perfect location for exploring the Ring of Kerry & the Dingle peninsula. The owners live in a separate property next door & are a pleasure to deal with. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again if ever back that way.
This 4 bedroom 3 bath home on the Ring of Kerry is a very comfortable modern home It has all the amenities and the owner, Bridger McSweeney, was extremely helpful. Killarney Town, Dingle and the Ring are very accessible from this home. My family (wife, son, daughter in-law and grand daughter spent a delightful week here even though the weather was a bit damp. Would stay here again without hesitation and recommend this home enthusiastically.
We are just back from a wonderful week at Bridget's property. The house was completely spotless when we arrived and Bridget was very helpful in any queries we had . In terms of keeping a 9 year old occupied in the evenings, the Smart TV which allowed access to Netflix / Prime / YouTube etc. was very much appreciated.
In terms of location it is an excellent base for exploring the Ring of Kerry and beyond.

My husband and I stayed at bridget's place just off the ring of carry by a few feet. The house was amazing and immaculate there was nothing that we needed that wasn't supplied. Bridget was a fantastic host, charming and welcoming, all that is ireland itself. We plan to rent her house again in the future with other family members.
This cottage is well above first class. We’ve stayed in many cottages over the years and this is easily in the top 3. Great location on the Ring of Kerry and beautiful Mountain View’s front and back. Convenient to Kilgorglin for groceries and shopping. I can’t say enough good words about this home which is spacious and pristine. Bridget is a lovely and welcoming host. Stay here!!!
This is a beautiful cottage, possibly the best we have stayed in. It is attractively decorated and maintained and is spotlessly clean. It has every amenity that you could want or need and is very spacious both inside and out. Bridget is kind and friendly and is willing to help out in anyway she can. The cottage is handy for visiting all areas of south Kerry and there are lots of places to see, things to do on your doorstep. We had a lovely stay and would definitely come back again if we have the opportunity.
This was simply the best. Bridget and Dan were wonderful. The house was more than we expected in a great way. They take so much pride in their house. So lovely and clean. And the property is so well maintained. They provide everything you could possibly need or require. It felt like home away from home. Would Definity rent from them again and have no problem referring them to our family and friend. Cannot say enough about how wonderful this home was.
Brilliant location to explore Kerry. Great accommodation.
This house is so well equipped and is pristine. We were a couple but there is plenty of space for a family. Big garden front and rear, parking for multiple cars. The views are brilliant, can watch the weather clear to show the peak of Carrantuohill. House is just off the Ring of Kerry and is not far from Killorglin. We would love to visit again and bring the family. Would definitely book Bridgets house again. Highly recommended!!
My family of four (2 adults and 2 small children) had the best experience with this rental. Everything from the booking process to checking out was easy. Bridget is an absolutely wonderful! She asked if we needed anything before arrival. She had a high hair and travel cot for our littlest. Offered wonderful suggestions for the area. The house was immaculate and fully stocked, and the view- gorgeous! The location is perfect too, served as a base to Killarney, dingle and much more. When we return to Ireland we would most definitely rent here again!
Bridget was an outstanding hostess. She greeted us when we arrived. Provided us with snacks, biscuits and tea. She gave us local information on where things were, i.e. stores, gas stations, etc. The house was perfect. Plenty of room and all the amenities a house could have. The view out the front and back of the home was outstanding. Bridet provided us with a cake and card for our 40th wedding anniversary and a card for our son and his fiancée. You could not ask for a better property or hostess.

Absolutely Outstanding Accommodation
My spouse, her sister and I spent three weeks in this outstanding accommodation. It is a beautiful spacious house on the Ring of Kerry and centrally located in County Kerry with easy access to Dingle, Tralee and Killarney. The views are magnificent with the Dingle Peninsula to the north and Ireland's tallest mountain, Carrauntoohil, to the south. The McSweeney's, Bridgett and Daniel, are wonderful welcoming hosts. The finely manicured garden and yard are magnificent and the kitchen was so well equipped we could have hosted a dinner party. Of our ten trips to Ireland this was the best ever and I attribute much that to this lovely home and our hosts.

Simply extraordinary !!
We spent two weeks in this cozy, calm and very spacious house, equipped with all you can think about regarding kitchen tools, WLAN, Television and much more. The house is best located at the Ring of Kerry and ideal as starting point for trips trough Kerry such as Killarney, Dingle, Valencia Island, Kenmare, the Skelligs etc. Best shopping possibilities nearby (Aldi in Killorglin) and a nice pub Red Fox in range of a march.
Thank you very much to our hosts Bridget and Dan, who cared about us all the time. We would be glad to come back again. To make it short: Five stars are not sufficient to rate this lovely place, we would like to give at least six !!
Bridget war eine tolle Gastgeberin. Das Haus ist super für Familien mit Kindern geeignet! Von hier aus kann man tolle Tagesausflüge machen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen!
