A home away from home
Our stay was perfect from start to finish. Even though we were only 2 persons in a property that could sleep 9 it was lovely to have the space. The property setting encompasses mountains and animals with stunning views as the sun rises and sets. The rooms we used (as we kept our footprint small) were comfortable. The best by far was the superb conservatory which was the perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. Would highly recommend this property. Perfectly positioned for shopping, pubs and all that this part of the Island offers.

Perfect location
Our favorite stay during a month long Irish vacation. The walks around the area were beautiful. Woke up to sheep and rabbits outside our window every morning. The house gave us so much room to spread out and was in the perfect place for visiting Killarney, Kenmare, and Glengarriff. Despite lots of rain, we had a wonderful time.

Amazing
Fabulous location secured with gates which was excellent ment our autistic son could safely play outside without worrying about him getting into danger, hosts were brilliant kept in touch during stay and gave tips of places to visit. They also got a ramp put up at front door for easy wheelchair access. Will def be going bk and have recommended to family and friends too. The sleep and bunny rabbit in the back field just made it more fun for the kids too.

Just idyllic
This house is a real gem set in the quietest and most beautiful countryside, yet only a few minutes from the village of Kilgarvan. Kenmare is a short drive and you can easily spend a day there shopping or eating in the many restaurants. The house had everything we needed and Mary was an excellent host, getting in touch to make sure that our stay went smoothly. Her sister-in-law lives across the road, which is reassuring in case anything is needed. Other than the occasional tractor, the lanes were ours to wander. We were in Kerry to climb the hils and the house was the perfect base for the Reeks and the Shehy Mountains, and the perfect space for relaxing in between climbs. The big sun room with windows which open right up were great in the warm spell we enjoyed. Thanks again Mary - we had a memorable stay.

A week in paradise
What a fantastic location and a great house to enjoy it in. Located 15 minutes drive from Kenmare and approx 30 minutes from Killarney. If you enjoy walking and exploring the countryside this is the place to stay. Mary was a fantastic host and made sure the house was ready on time and quickly resolved any issues reported. We were given lots of information on how to get the most out of exploring the local area and this was much welcome. I would highly recommend staying in this property.

A beautiful cottage in Ireland!
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautiful Irish cottage! As a family, we found the space to be incredibly spacious—plenty of room for everyone to relax and feel at home. The setting is simply breathtaking, nestled right in the heart of nature, with scenic views all around. It’s also perfectly located, giving us easy access to explore the stunning peninsulas of South Ireland. Whether you’re interested in hiking, beaches, or charming villages, everything is within reach. A special mention goes to our host, who was extremely friendly and attentive, making sure our stay was comfortable and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic Irish getaway!

Fantastic week at Bun na Sleibhte!
We had a fantastic week at the holiday home Bun na Sleibhte! The communication with our hostess Mary was great and easy. The house is big and tidy and we especially enjoyed the sunroom! We really enjoyed the peace and quiet in and around the house. There were so many rabbits and birds to see around the house. We loved it! We surely be back in the future!

Un havre de tranquillité
Les seules contraintes seront quelques lapins sauvages et trois brebis qui vous salueront le matin et vous rappelleront toute la journée et jusqu'au soir que vous êtes bien dans une nature paisible. La maison est confortable, agrémentée d'une pièce véranda ouverte sur les près et les collines en forme de salon séjour qui constitue une belle pièce à vivre. C'est un plus incontestable pour le standing de cette maison. le descriptif est conforme, la maison bien équipée, literies et linge de maison OK. Le terrain est clôturé et offre une bonne sécurité. La famille de la propriétaire vit à 100 mètres en face dans le chemin, toujours disponible et souriante. Merci pour la canne à pêche ! Le positionnement à 4 kms de KILGARVAN, et 15 kms de KENMARE offre de belles opportunités de balades, et excursions par le KERRY RING et ses merveilleux paysages. Nous recommandons !

Es gibt viel zu sehen und zu entdecken. Mary ist eine sehr nette herzliche Gastgeberin, die alles dafür tut, damit ihre Gäste sich wohl fühlen.

Wir haben uns in Bun na Sleibhte wie zu Hause gefühlt. In the middle of nature Bun na Sleibhte is a lovely house in a quiet location surrounded by beautiful countryside. Mountains... Sheep... Rabbits... Birds chirping... What more could you ask for. Absolute tranquility and relaxation. The house is lovingly furnished and equipped with everything you need.

From the house there are some beautiful hiking trails that are highly recommended. Excursions to the nearby towns of Kenmare and Killarney are not to be missed. And of course, the National Park…. There is a lot to see and discover. Mary is a very nice, warm hostess who does everything to make her guests feel comfortable.

The perfect relaxing holidays
As a group of 4 adults, 3 teenagers and 1 child, the house was large enough to fully cater for us confortably. The new sunroom is a perfect add-on to enjoy the wildlife and the view over the surrounding mounts. It's peaceful and quiet. We had a really lovely stay with easy access to lots of differents places: perfect for touring Co. Kerry, Cork area and Killarney. Highly recommended, it feels like home.!
