"Had a fabulous welcome from the owner, a lovely friendly lady who was very happy to chat to us and give us advice about the best places to go. The cottage was lovely, clean and welcoming."

"Eileen and Bertie really made us feel at home from the moment we met them. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were full of great suggestions of where to go and what to do. It was our first trip to Ireland, but I am sure it won't be our last. The cottage was in a lovely, peaceful spot, beautifully clean and there was a great welcoming pack of food and drink waiting for us on our arrival. Highly recommended - we were sorry to leave the cottage, Eileen and Bertie and the lovely Bella."

"We were very touched with the hospitality of the owners of the property. They have provided everything we could ask for. It was located a few miles outside the town of Killorglin, very accessible, and the scenery (especially on top of the nearby hill) was breath-taking. An hour drive to Dingle peninsula, 30 minutes to Killarney, and 30 minutes to Tralee! People around the town are also very lovely and friendly. Sweet little cottage with warm owners in a traditional and picturesque village."

"In a quiet hamlet but close to Killorglin town facilities. An annex of Eileen & Berties bungalow. Private yet with easy access to the owners for whom nothing was too much trouble. Homely would be a good word, not luxury but comfort.Ideal for 2. Great access to walks, sights, Gap of Dunloe, The 3 ring tours Dingle, Kerry & Kenmare. A traffic jam in Killarny is about 4 car in front at the lights!! Enjoyed every minute of this magical place. The weather helped a lot. Its green because it occasionally rains but without it how else would we have Guinness... Hope to go again."
