About this property

Sneem 0.5 miles.

A stunning, stone-built, detached property, ideally situated in a delightful, rural location nestled on the banks of the Sneem Estuary, 0.5 miles from the village of Sneem, in County Kerry. Beautifully furnished and decorated to an exceptionally high standard, this Sneem cottage combines traditional features with modern amenities to make the perfect holiday cottage. With maple flooring and a marble fireplace in the sitting room, granite work surfaces and a range cooker in the kitchen, a four poster bed, chandelier, Jacuzzi bath and beautiful river views, this cottage will add a touch of luxury to any holiday. Relax to the sound of the flowing river while dining alfresco in the large garden, a birdwatcher's paradise, or curl up in front of the cosy open fire on chilly evenings; this Sneem cottage is perfect at any time of year. With walking available from the door on The Kerry Way, and the coast at Kenmare and Waterville, there is no shortage of things to do from this wonderful Sneem holiday cottage. Sneem has a rich heritage that is enticing to all ages. You have choices of shopping in the town and enjoying the amazing local pubs and cafes. For the more adventurous there are amazing mountain passes to explore, including the Ballaghbeama Gap. The local beaches are a breathtaking sight and will provide a fun day out for families.

Situated between the towns of Waterville and Kenmare, the village of Sneem is on the route of the Kerry Way. It has a variety of shops, pubs and tea-rooms, and its brightly coloured houses add to the vibrant atmosphere making it a popular spot. It is widely believed that it is not possible to complete a circuit of the Ring of Kerry without passing through this lovely village. Waterville and Kenmare both make for an excellent day out and are close by, as is the beautiful Killarney National Park with its stunning scenery, a must for keen walkers. Macgillicuddy's Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland, offers challenging terrain for the more experienced walker. This wonderful area has a lot to offer as a holiday destination.

  • Phil

    We were delighted with our stay. The cottage is in a perfect, quiet location yet within walking distance of the town. here's plenty of facilities and local shops and pubs, a spectacular coastline, you're surrounded by mountains on one side and can watch wildlife along the river estuary from the window. We were lucky with weather and had a wonderful stay. Thanks to a great host.
