We went to the Kerry cliffs, Valentia island, the chocolate factory, the Skellig visitor centre, and Kells Bay. The owner was nearby and super responsive and it was so nice to have our pets with us. The house was cosy and had everything we needed for our stay.

.. Sheep and donkeys, to entertain you. Close to the Kerry cliffs. Fantastic view, in every direction..

The property is well located and with plenty of offroad parking; for some people though, it would be beyond walking distance into Portmagee. The property was well presented and well equipped for two of us but I think it's stretching it to say it could accommodate 8 people. My fault, but we missed where it said that electricity was charged by meter reading. Not a deal breaker but it's outside our normal experience with Sykes, Hoseasons, Booking.com and Airbnb.
