Really enjoyed our stay in Kenmare. The house was spotless and well looked after. It had everything we needed. It's in a perfect location so we could walk into the town for breakfast and dinner and there is certainly a lot to do in Kenmare. Communication was excellent and we had no issues checking in or checking out. Highly recommended!

Lovely hose in a convenient and quiet spot which is an easy walk to the centre of Kenmare.The site manager was extremely helpful and friendly and was very responsive. Lack of free Internet in this day and age is a bit odd, but it was explained that this was down to a pre-existing contract and will be looked at in future. All in all an excellent stay in a beautiful part of the world. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Home in Kenmare

We were extremely pleased with how much space we had, and how convenient the property was to sites in the area. It was quiet. And the first day, we enjoyed the yard. (After that, we got too busy.) Anne and her daughter were helpful.

Ideal location for our annual cycling event

A quick call to Ann when we were close and she was waiting for us when we arrived. She answered all our questions, showed us everything we needed to know about the house and was a wealth of ilocal knowledge. The house was clean and had everything we needed, well stocked kitchen with sufficient utensils to hand. Plenty of hot water and powerful showers. Ideal location less than a 10min walk in to the centre, supermarkets a little further walk or 2min drive. Will definitely look to book next year.

Prp mgr

Property was nice. An the property mgr was a bit nosey and let herself in with a 'is anyone at home' despite car in yard. Should have knocked and it made us uncomfortable. My family is mixed race and sensitive to this type of thing..

I'm so sorry to read this. As a matter of fact you were supposed to be 2 people, according to your booking. But actually there were 6 of you. Ann just wanted to check if everything was alright since you were more than expected.

Great house for a family, fantastic location

Our family of 4 stayed here for 6 nights. The location is perfect. It is in a quiet street with parking out front, only a 10 min walk into the beautiful town of Kenmare where there are multiple dining options. It is a great base to enjoy exploring County Kerry. It was quite cold when we arrived, however the heating was already on in the home which was lovely and Caroline dropped in shortly after arrival to make sure we had vetting we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking for a family. We initially couldn’t work out how to get hot water, but a quick message to Caroline and her prompt reply had us all sorted) - there were a couple of switches that we needed to turn on). Would highly recommend.

Lovely

Wir haben einen wunderschönen Urlaub verbracht. Ein tolles,sauberes großes Haus. Wir waren 6 Personen, aber auch mit 8 völlig ausreichend.Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Wir sind erst um Mitternacht angekommen und trotzdem stand Caroline da hat uns eine kleine Einweisung gegeben und wir durften uns jederzeit bei ihr melden wenn wir ein Problem hatten oder einfach nur Infos/Ausflugstipps brauchten. 5 Sterne sind für diesen Aufenthalt eigentlich noch zu wenig. Ein tolles kleines Städtchen ist in 10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Gemütlich, komfortabel und fußläufig zu Kenmare

Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so benötigt, die Einrichtung unten ist sehr gut und die Couch mega gemütlich. Besonders gut gefallen haben uns die beiden Bäder und noch eine dritte Toilette. Die Spülung in einem Bad hat nicht so optimal funktioniertund die Schlafzimmer nicht mehr ganz neu aber die Matratzen gut. Sehr herzliche Gastgeber und der perfekte Startpunkt für Ausflüge zu den Rings of Kerry und BearaWir wir kommen wieder
