This is our third stay at Ken Maree, we love the peacefulness and the stunning views. The cottage is well equipped and the gardens secure for our two dogs and we love that the beach is only a two minute walk from a path at the back of the cottage. The owners Duncan and Trish are warm and welcoming and helpful. There are lots of nice places for eating out nearby Duncan kindly gave us some spiny lobster tails which my son and I loved. We will definitely be returning again for another stay. If you're after getting away from city life or need to de-stress then Ken Maree is where you'll be able to decompress and unwind
