“Myself and my family had a fantastic week in Boolteens.”

Brendan was very friendly and helpful with any requests we had. The property was situated in a perfect location for those who wish to travel around to the beautiful sights Kerry has to offer. Also it’s really close to the fabulous Inch beach .

Mrs Boz June 2021

“We spent four days in June 2021 as three families with the kids, all was great.”

The house is in a perfect location, you may either go to the beaches or to the Killarney national park for daily activities. It was even newer than the photos, very clean and has everything you may need like in your own house. The only missing thing was a barbecue in the garden. The owner, Brandon, was so friendly and helpful in suggesting pubs, butcher, etc... We all left very satisfied and want to come back again to this beautiful house of Brandon. Thanks for everything.

Ms Killeen July 2019

“The house was perfect for our group.”

It had everything we needed and was a close distance to all of the places we wanted to visit while we were in Kerry.

- Ms Killeen, July 2019
Mrs Donnelly April 2019

“Lovely house and garden.”

There is lots of room and everything you need to make the stay comfortable. Definitely a thumbs up.

Mr Matabane November 2018

“The house was clean and beautiful however it was cold the second day and we run out of gas the last night and we were not able to cook our meal .”

We had to use a microwave oven to cook our meal which was not ideal.

- Mr Matabane, November 2018
Mr O'neill August 2018

“We met the engaging owner, Brendan, who had asked us not to arrive before 4.”

30pm so the place would be spick and span. He took us through his home's foibles - the jamming doorbell (more of a deep hum than a jam), the occasional tricks needed to get the showers going, the TV system and its missing DVD player, and other oddities - and was promptly available by mobile when we subsequently needed further clarifications. He couldn't explain the abundance of flies in the kitchen, so we got down to a good clean of surfaces, covered the open dustbin in the utility room next door and bought a fly spray. Cleanliness aside, the property is spacious and reasonably well equipped for two adults and three independent children (14, 18, 20). The basic satellite package (not the one advertised) was good and the wifi broadband was sufficient to allow us to watch films in the evening via subscription channels on our laptop, which we connected to the TV monitor. As Brendan warned (and as noted in advertising), the broadband is not high capacity. The best thing about the property is its location, at the head of the Dingle peninsula, well positioned to explore south west Kerry.

Mr Ware July 2018

“This property is nothing like advertised and the photos must have been taken some time ago.”

We arrived around 5.15pm, having given advanced notification to the owners. They were still 'cleaning' the property, blaming the last people who hadn't left until 12. The house is tired and certainly not the 4* accommodation advertised. Firstly, it was filthy and not just from the previous people who stayed. I spent an hour cleaning the oven before we dared use it and likewise anything else we wanted to use in the kitchen. Nothing matched from the cutlery, crockery to towels provided. There was a rug in the lounge area we moved as it was filthy with no way of cleaning it (just a couple of old sweeping brushes in the house, no vac). There were wires hanging out of the walls in 2 rooms, light bulbs not working, rusty and torn old office chairs in the garden and general 'stuff' of no use to a tenant left everywhere. This may have been a nice property a few years ago but now just appears to be used as a cash cow with nothing put back into it. It was not worth half the money that we paid and i would certainly not recommend it in its current state.

Mr Osullivan May 2018

“Fantastic cottage.”

Only 2 of us stayed so for us it was huge. Good location as well. Some road noise but didn’t bother us.

Mr Douglas April 2018

“This is excellent accommodation in a wonderful part of Ireland.”

- Mr Douglas, April 2018
Ms Newell September 2017

“This is a large beautiful home, with everything you needed.”

Although it is near a shop and a pub, we did not feel secure enough to walk. As there are no side walks or street lights. Lorraine was great in helping us find the house! As our GPS would not take us there. It is very convenient to all the scenic towns and sights. Janet and friends in Canada.

KathyCastlewellan July 2016

“Just perfect!”

We loved everything about this house. Apart from the wooden floors upstairs being a bit noisy for those of us trying to sleep on the ground floor (this of course cannot be helped), this house really is perfect. We absolutely loved it! It's got everything you need, it's spacious, it's in a good location close to Killarney, Tralee etc and both Brendan and Lorraine couldn't have been more nicer. The price too was extremely reasonable. All this helped to make our holiday a really memorable one. We hope to come back again some time in the future. Thanks Brendan and Lorraine for everything
