“Great accomodation in a super location to explore the county.”

Communication with the owner was great and we would highly recommend. Nice quiet location with lovely views, we enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening, but also had some nice walks along the backroads from the house. (Indeed one back road takes you into the centre of Glenbeigh.)

“The house was excellent, just what we needed, clean, comfortable and great views.”

Really small niggle was the fact the curtains were so light and thin, dazzling for early summer mornings so eye masks are strongly recommended!

“Excellent location”

Mark June 2026

“Well-designed and spacious house in a prime location for visiting Kerry.”

Quiet, rural location but close to facilities in Glenbeigh. Great walks from the door. Lovely lawned gardens with mountain views and a sea view (just!). Wifi and TV very good! Good communication available with owners.

“A very well-designed and well-equipped house, with great mountain views, very peaceful, but with easy access to the best parts of Kerry.”

Highly recommended.

“Meenteog did not disappoint in any way.”

It's a beautiful open plan design yet cosy and well maintained. The location is ideal for exploring from Killarney to Catherdaniel and is in a very scenic spot. It was a pleasure staying here and I would definitely book again.

Bruce June 2025

“We had a really nice time staying at Meenteog, the facilities were first class, we couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

The view from the house is amazing both to the front and the rear. It was a lovely quiet location which suited us perfectly. The communication with, and support from the owner was excellent. We have stayed in numerous self catering houses and this one was the best.

“Lovely property, well maintained and everything we needed.”

Great location for access to Glenbeigh, Rossbeigh beach & to explore County Kerry. What ever the weather a great location for memories to be made.

Elaine May 2024

“There were items not available that the listing had stated, the jacuzzi bath and DVD player, upon contacting the owner she apologised and said she had requested an update of the listing over a year ago!”

The TV itself has sustained some damage and although usable the hole in the screen is noticeable. However more concerning was the label on the boiler stating that the due date for service was 16/7/21; there was a strong smell of oil always present in the utility room. These issues aside we loved staying in the mountains and enjoyed having our meals looking at the mountains. What a beautiful area!

- Elaine, May 2024

Thank you Elaine, The customer service team have carried out another sweep of their systems to ensure references to these items have been removed from all correspondence. The sticker on the boiler is an old one from a previous plumber, but thanks for pointing that out. I’ll have it replaced with the current sticker. Property Owner

“Lovely lovely property but as it sleeps seven, need to provide a dining table to seat seven and not four.”

- Jill, July 2023

Thanks for your feedback, the property now has a larger table to better accommodate all guests. Property Owner

“Excellent facilities in a lovely quiet area, perfect for touring the area.”

“The cottage is in a quiet lovely location and the kitchen was well equipped despite the bottom oven being extremely slow to get to temperature on certain settings.”

However there are certainly things that we all felt needed improvement . There is no comfortable outside sitting. A bench for older people isn’t appropriate. The TV is old and has a pixel showing In the middle of the tv. It was distracting. A new tv is desperately needed. The downstairs bedroom was very comfortable but we where constantly awoken by the other guests moving upstairs. Even when they crept around it was disturbing. The upstairs bedrooms need better beds and and proper wardrobes. My family where very uncomfortable on one of the beds and had to use another. This isn’t acceptable for a holiday rental. In general the place was showing signs of where and tear in places and needs an upgrade on certain items. Having said all of this the cottage is placed in the most beautiful part of Ireland and the parents of the owners visited to ask if all was well.

- Cheryl, April 2023

Thank you your valuable feedback. Mattresses have been replaced and we will review the type of outdoor seating (table snd chairs) when next upgrading, to ensure they are also suitable for elderly guests. Property Owner
Tracy April 2023

“Beautiful house.”

Very welcoming hosts. Unfortunately the distance into the village was too far to easily walk. The whirlpool bath didn't work - it was only after booking that I noticed a previous review also noted this but it had not been fixed and was still advertised as part of the house.

- Tracy, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback. This feature has been removed from the property description, but the property still has a normal bath in the downstairs bathroom. Property Owner
Anthony September 2022

“Very clean and well maintained but lounge sparsely furnished and therefore a bit 'cold'.”

A cafetiere would have been most welcome, also summer weight duvet and second pillows

“Good quality of accommodation.”

Needs a redecor within closed season to ring back to standard. Carpet clean required to remove stain in master bedroom. Apart from this first class.

It was very spacious and exactly as described, it was an ideal location for visiting the area and the views were amazing. It helped that we had superb Irish weather - no rain at all! We would definitely like to return to this property one day - thank you!

“The house is beautiful, in a wonderful setting, the views were great, not too far from a lovely small town and a short distance from a great beach.”

It was in a great location to explore the beautiful Kerry county. We had a great family holiday, the house was outstanding and gave a very warm homely feeling and a wonderful place to relax in after a days exploring. A very big thanks to Sykes & the owners!
