“We have stayed in Kerry Way Cottage every year for the past eight years.”

Fabulous location, great well equipped house, owner really accommodating. The house is always immaculate, kitchen is well equipped, beds very comfortable. Location is near two villages with two very nice cafes with amazing pastries. Great walks and a short drive to several lovely beaches. Always a fantastic experience when staying here.

“Excellent property couldn't fault the high spec accommodation.”

Fantastic position with outstanding views. The house was superb and offered above and beyond what you could ever want. Had a wonderful holiday and would not hesitate to return or recommend to others.

“After staying at the Kerry Way cottage 2 years ago, we did not hesitate to rebook for a family break and it certainly didn’t disappoint.”

We know the area well so find it the perfect location for exploring the Ring of Kerry. Mr Sweeney greets us like old friends and leaves us to it for the week. It’s handy having him next door but we didn’t see/need him at all. The cottage is modern, spacious, clean, well equipped and totally met the needs of 6 adults. The view is to die for and, despite some misty days, we made the most of admiring the stunning landscape around us. I would not hesitate to recommend the cottage and we will certainly be back soon

Rebecca September 2023

“The cottage is in a beautiful setting with wonderful views over the bay and mountains.”

Every evening it was a pleasure just to sit and take in the views. The cottage is also on the Kerry Way with some stunning walks straight from the door. Just a note for visitors the water for the whole are has a brownish tinge from the tannin so a big bottle of water for drinking might be a good idea.

Zoltan June 2023

“Very nice, spacy and comfortable accomodation, with great views and many possibilities for excursions and hikes.”

Quiet environment. The facilities are good and complete. Renewal of the toilet seats and eventually the washstand in the bathrooms would boost the overall impression of the accomodation. I recommend the holiday property.

“Was listed as detached property ,private.”

But the owner lives next door and has open access from his property to the rental property tru a hedge. For privacy should be a gate put up ,for both parties. ,as when sitting in back your loooking at the owners and whoever else there as its a garage.. but property perfect ,views absolutely amazing. Just value my privacy..

“The location is secluded and lovely.”

The scenery is superb, with stunning views from the dining room areas. All rooms comfortable and extremely clean. We are already considering going back there again next year, it was that lovely.

“It was the view that sold this to us and, when we got there, it was more spectacular than we could have imagined.”

What a location! The cottage is massive and comes complete with all mod cons (washer, dryer, dishwasher etc.). It's accessed up a narrow road from the main Ring of Kerry route but is easy to find, especially if you follow the signs to the adjoining garage (which was not at all noisy). As one would expect given the remote location there's no internet but a good 3G/4G mobile signal so you can use a smartphone as a mobile hotspot (data permitting). This was good enough to watch Sky Sports on a laptop. All rooms are spacious and comfortable and the owner, Mr Sweeney, is happy to help when required.

Paul And Marion July 2018

“We didn’t have to refer to the owner, who was nearby, much after our meeting on arrival but he was very helpful when asked.”

- Paul And Marion, July 2018
Jane June 2018

“The cottage was the best we have ever stayed in, the views were breathtaking, we were fortunate to be there when it was sunny and hot for the whole 7 days, narrow lane to access the property, amenities a short drive away, but this was far outweighed, looking over Kenmare Bay, spectacular, we really wanted to stay longer where as normally we are getting ready to return home to our home comforts, not on this occasion.”

“A cottage with an exceptional sea view, very pleasant, very clean and comfortable, well located in the kerry”

- Brient, April 2017
Mike August 2016

“The view was brilliant (on a good-weather day), but the road access was a little tricky.”

The property was very much better equipped than most self-catering cottages we've stayed in and everything worked. It was very spacious. Very quiet location. Good access to the Kerry Way itself. The owner was very amenable. It was better than the last Sykes property we stayed in.

“A perfect hideaway with easy access to local facilities.”

Kieran July 2013

“This house is very well located and has really excellent sea views.”

It is very well fitted and clean. It has a big kitchen, a utility room and a conservatory all with newly tiled floors which is what you need on a holiday like this. A lot of care had obviously been taken by the owners to prepare the house and they left us a pint of milk and some cake from a local bakery. We would recommend it.

- Kieran, July 2013
Sue March 2013

“A lovely cottage with spectacular views.”

Everything was well thought out and you can tell it's a labour of love.
