    “The 6 out of 10 score is for Sykes Cottages and is not about this house.”

    This House: We enjoyed our stay. The location is great with wonderful open views across the tidal estuary and beyond. The house is at the end of a spacious cul-de-sac which in September was always peaceful with almost zero traffic as many houses were not occupied. Easy car parking on the wide drive. It is a 20 minutes walk into Kenmare with its pubs, restaurants, cafes, galleries and local shops. There is a petrol station with Spar shop about 10 minutes walk, and an Aldi and Lidl on the far ...

    This House: We enjoyed our stay. The location is great with wonderful open views across the tidal estuary and beyond. The house is at the end of a spacious cul-de-sac which in September was always peaceful with almost zero traffic as many houses were not occupied. Easy car parking on the wide drive. It is a 20 minutes walk into Kenmare with its pubs, restaurants, cafes, galleries and local shops. There is a petrol station with Spar shop about 10 minutes walk, and an Aldi and Lidl on the far edge of the town centre. The house is spacious for 4 adults and will cope with 6 easily. Big entrance hall with hooks for outdoor coats and plenty of space for shoes. Big downstairs loo. Comfortable beds and enough clothes etc storage.The bathrooms will benefit from a refurb. The ensuite (not photographed) shower has irritatingly variable performance; the over-the-bath shower in the main bathroom is good but water escapes from beneath the screen (and we tried very hard to stop this happening). The dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer worked well but no outdoor drying facilities although plenty of space. Kitchen appliances a bit dated but all worked satisfactorily and there were plenty of cleaning liquids and dishwasher / laundry tablets. Good cupboard space, plenty of crockery, cutlery. There is no hairdryer, and no wifi (which is accurately noted in the description). The charge for electricity seemed high to us If I owned this property I would renew all the outdoor photos as several are now out of date - work has been done to enhance the spacious communal lawn area, and I would show the estuary when the tide is in as well as out. I would consider adding a third shower in the downstairs toilet, and review the current 2 bathrooms.

About the location

KENMARE, COUNTY KERRY

Glengarriff 19 miles; Killarney 25 miles.

A picturesque town situated on the stunning Bay of Kenmare, overlooking the gleaming Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful beaches, wildlife and lovely scenery abound here. The coastline is rugged with sandy beaches close by, while pebble beaches surround the bay itself. Kenmare is an interesting town, full of character and colour, with long winding streets setting the scene for farmers' markets, artists' galleries, lovely little boutiques and some of the best restaurants in Ireland! The town is also situated on the Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way. The famous town of Killarney has an abundance of attractions, pubs, festivals and its National Park is about 35 minutes’ drive away, and though there is much to see and do here, the pace of life is still leisurely and unhurried. With the Beara and Dingle Peninsulas nearby and the Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way to explore, makes this an ideal base for exploring Kerry to Cork. This great location is not to be missed!
