Not very luxurious considered the price range. Heating was scheduled automatically and not always to our comfort. (Cold) Washing machine available,but no dryer so very hard to get towels and clothing dry. Noisy dog was locked up every night in doghouse next too (!!) the rented bungalow bedroom.

Tucked away in a nice quiet spot: on a clear night, the view of the stars was amazing. Great location for hiking and biking, although the climb up the hill at the end of the day is tough on the legs! Kerry and family were very friendly.

Very rural and quiet, and only a few miles from Killarney. Had a very enjoyable stay there.
