Beautiful Location
Tucked away on the sea with a cozy old world atmosphere was the perfect location to celebrate a big birthday and relax. Wonderful views with big windows out and we swam from the back garden at high tide! Kitty was extremely helpful organising a bbq for us and very welcoming. I would highly suggest this house and it's perfect location right in the centre of Beara.

Great base to explore the majestic Beara peninsula, with added bonus of sea swimming from your back garden. Amazing location. Good kitchen, excellent hot water in the shower with heated floor. Excellent communication and friendly welcome on arrival. Be aware: TV has no channels, Dvd player won't read any disks, and no WiFi. But good mobile data reception. Loads to see and do in the area. Would happily go back.

Beautiful location, cottage needs an upgrade.
Views are stunning. Cottage smells damp, and decor is dated, except for the new bathroom. Stairs are steep so care is needed when coming down at night to use the toilet. For a self catering unit the kitchen is in desperate need of an upgrade, gas cooker has handle falling off and had to light it with matches as ignition broken. Coffee machine and white goods yellowed with age. With some work the cottage could be stunning, but currently it’s tired and outdated and the open plan ladder like stairs would be hazardous for children.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful unspoilt location
Thank you so much to Dag and Kitty for a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and to be able to swim from the bottom of the garden every day was amazing.

Cottage by the sea
We were blessed with great weather and so took full advantage of the outdoors. We we’re able to swim from the edge of the garden as well as kayak which we brought with us. A lovely short walk from the cottage allowed us to find another unspoilt swimming spot from a pebble beach. We explored the Peninsula along the beautiful winding country roads along and over the peninsula discovering more beaches and areas of interest. The cottage has everything you need to cook for a family. One thing it didn’t have was a BBQ which with the weather we had would have been a great addition. Would love to return next year.

Heaven on Earth
We had such a wonderful time here for 2 weeks. We hiked, we took long walks right out from the front door. We swam in the tidal pool, swam in the lake Ardgroom, found 5 stone circle and had amazing sunsets. We had visits from the Great Blue Herons and Egrets along with Freda and Freddie the cats. The kitchen is very well equipped and the house is really comfortable. The new bathroom is beautiful. The caretaker, Kitty, brought us DVD's to watch and checked in on us to make sure we ere comfortable and the owners, Dag and Bjorn, were very attentive and communicated very well.We look forward to staying again.

Idyllic spot
The property is located tucked away in a quiet bay within a reasonable drive of the main sights on the Beara peninsula. There is a small shop in nearby Ardgoole a short drive away (10 mins). Our kids loved cycling up and down the lane and stopping at one of the jetties to throw stones and wading in the muddy banks beside the house near the water. We were greeted warmly by those in the neighhourhood. Our favourite excursion was a trip to Ahillies /Garanish beach - highly recommended. The house is rather dated and would benefit from modernisation. The bathroom is a delight. The only major disappointment was the oven does not work properly - it takes ages to cook anything and you end up with under or over cooked food. Not great when you're trying to save money by opting for self catering. We still enjoyed our time at the property and the price matched the conditions - prices are typically high for self catering in Ireland and you get what you pay for. Thank you for a wonderful last minute staycation in Kerry to ease the challenges of Covid.

Wonderful views from a cottage which fell short of expectations
Unclear instructions from owner. Wrong numbers for reception agent Cottage smelt of damp and felt a little grubby. Very tired furniture and bedding. Only 3 dirty mugs for a 3 bedroom property. Ground floor bedroom ( one of peine reasons for booking this property) was uninhabitable Unclear on booking about deposit and that electricity had to be paid on top of rental Shower room was the only acceptable room for this money Happy to discuss further details

Schönste Lage - altes Haus
Das Haus besitzt eine phantastische Lage, direkt am Wasser in absoluter Ruhe (man kann vom Küchentisch aus Robben beobachten). Die Housekeeperin Kitty ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und unkompliziert. Sie kümmert sich jeden Tag um die beiden auf dem Grundstück lebenden Katzen. Das Badezimmer ist recht neu. Im Gegensatz zum Rest des Hauses. Alles sehr alt. Es funktioniert alles (vom Gasofen mit kaputtem Türgriff bis zur Waschmaschine), ist aber renovierungsbedürftig (Möbel, Küche). Leider hatte der Fernseher keinen Empfang (man benötigt dort bei der schönen Aussicht natürlich keinen TV, aber unsere Töchter hätten gerne ein paar WM-Spiele gesehen...)

Traumhaft schön - amazing
Das Haus und die Lage sind traumhaft und es hat alles was man braucht. Das Haus und der Garten waren gepflegt und sauber und die Betreuung vor Ort 5 Sterne! Wir haben uns sofort wohl und willkommen gefühlt, alles lag bereit für uns. Sehr begeistert waren wir auch vom direkten Zugang zum Wasser und die Ruhe. Und doch ist man schnell im schönen Kenmare und am ring of kerry.

Zenitude garantie
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille dans cette maison nichée dans un recoin de la très verte et sauvage péninsule de Beara. On ne se lassait pas d'admirer la vue sur le bras de mer qui arrive juste au bout du jardinet! La maison est restée dans son jus depuis les années 80,, mais l'équipement est suffisant et conforme au descriptif. Un lave -vaisselle serait le bienvenu, cependant... L'accueil de Kitty a été parfait. Elle a immédiatement appelé l'électricien lorsque nous lui avons signalé l'absence d'eau chaude dans la salle de bain, et le problème a été résolu dès le lendemain. L'endroit est idéal pour découvrir le sud ouest de l'Irlande. Nous avons pu faire de très belles balades, entourés de paysages époustouflants!

Prachtige locatie maar huis te duur voor wat het biedt
Prachtig zicht op de baai, hartelijke ontvangst, maar huis oud en versleten, in de weliswaar gerenoveerde badkamer kwam uit de douche slechts een heel dunne warmwaterstraal, nauwelijks mogelijk warm te douchen, kookfornuis in erbarmelijke staat, penetrante schimmelgeur in de keuken, roestige koelkast, vlekkerige houten vloer in living, stoffig kamerbreed tapijt in de slaapkamer. Alles is gewoon uitgeleefd. We betaalden onbetaamlijk veel voor wat we kregen. Nochtans is van dit huis iets moois te maken mits een grondige renovatie. .

tolle Lage, absolute Ruhe, super Betreuung
Wir hatten eine schöne Woche in diesem netten Haus, das direkt an der Bucht zum Atlantik liegt. Bei Flut geht man vom Gartentor direkt ins Meer. Unglaublich! Es ist sehr ruhig und abseits gelegen, ein Wagen ist ein absolutes Muss. Bereits die Begrüßung durch Kitty war sehr herzlich und Kitty half jederzeit mit Rat und Tat weiter. Auch der Kontakt im Vorfeld unserer Reise zu Dag war sehr nett und verbindlich. Die Einrichtung ist nicht unbedingt der neueste Stand der Technik (wir hatten noch keine Erfahrungen mit einem Backofen, der mit Gas betrieben wird), aber es ist alles da und funktioniert. Auch wenn das Haus kein Internet hat, so gibt es dort doch Mobilfunknetz. Und eigentlich sitzt man eh nur da und schaut in die Bucht, lauscht den vielen Vögeln oder beobachtet die Fische oder geht auf Krabbenfang. Auch hier kann man nachts Fledermäuse beobachten. In der Umgebung gibt es viel lohnende Ausflugsziele, da ist sicherlich für jeden etwas dabei. Nur beim Whalewatching hatten wir kein Glück. Jederzeit gerne wieder und nochmals vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

Déception importante
Nous avons été très déçus par cette maison : Odeur de renfermé, maison mal ventilée Equipements vétustes et très sommaires : impossible d’ouvrir la porte du four ; l’entretien des espaces extérieurs est négligé La chambre du rez-de-chaussée est inhabitable ; le Velux (fenêtre de toit) dans une chambre à l’étage ne peut pas être ouvert ; les draps sont en nylon ; les stores intérieurs ne se remontent pas complètement; absence de lumière extérieure quand on rentre le soir ( la lumière existe mais ne s’allume qu’une fois à l’intérieur de la maison : on rentre donc dans l’obscurité ce qui est très dangereux) ; parquets et peintures vétustes et tachés ; radiateurs électriques très anciens (et donc très consommateurs d’énergie) parabole TV rouillée Contrat de location et annonce sur le site : Certains équipements mentionnés dans l’annonce n’existent pas : véranda, barbecue ; épices et condiments quasi inexistants L’annonce ne signalait pas que l’électricité devait être payée en supplément du loyer ( modifié sur l’annonce depuis notre passage) Les animaux domestiques ne sont pas admis dans la maison, mais 2 chats nourris sur place rôdent jour et nuit autour de la maison.
