We had a wonderful stay Julie's Cottage and would have enjoyed another week there if we could have.. It is cosy, but not too small and we were very comfortable with 7 in the house. It's a pretty central location for Kerry so our trips to Valentia Island, Killarney National Park, Kenmare were not too far and Tralee is close by. One small piece of feedback is that the cooker/hob could be updated but it still served it's purpose. Aside from that (which is a very minor matter) we could not recommend Julie's Cottage highly enough.The host was very friendly, helpful and pleasant to deal with and left some treats for us on our arrival which was a very nice touch. We will, without hesitation, be back in the future.

Julie’s Cottage was the perfect place from which to explore Kerry, close to the amenities in Castleisland & a short trip from both Tralee & Killarney. Set in a quiet rural location, this cottage is charming and cosy yet has everything you could want to make your stay enjoyable, even when the weather is inclement! The owner has thoughtfully supplied games, books,dvds and the internet access was great too!! All the charm of an Irish cottage with all the necessities for a comfortable stay! The cottage is deceptively spacious with a lovely outdoor area, which would no doubt be an ideal sun trap, if the weather was fine! We were warm and cosy even whilst hunkering down during a storm!! Immaculately clean & well presented throughout! The owner is extremely helpful & I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! Go rainbow míle maith agat Mary! X

We thoroughly enjoy our stay every visit

Mary was so welcoming and had gone over and above.. There was milk and mince pies/cake which were yummy! The cottage was perfect and cozy. Our dogs had a great holiday too! We loved Killarney and Tralee and Castleisland was gorgeous! All in all - perfect !

Absolutely WONDERFUL location! Two large grocery stores within 7 minutes drive, Tralee within 15 minutes drive, Killarney within 30 minutes drive.... we were able to explore the Slea Head peninsula, Ring of Kerry and Beara Peninsula without having to travel extreme distances to get there. Shops, pubs, bakeries, coffee shops, restaurants, all just minutes away. The cottage itself was also PERFECT! One of my criteria was washer/ dryer. We had four people traveling this time, so luggage was an issue. We wanted to pack light for a 10 night Ireland stay so a washer/ dryer was necessary. It worked out great. We were able to do laundry on the go. Another was separate bathrooms/ bedrooms for everyone- also provided! The bathrooms and bedrooms were very roomy, clean and comfy. The rest of the house also exceeded expectations. The kitchen was a good size, very satisfactory, providing everything we could possibly need- we were pleasantly surprised to see that Mrs. Mary had baked a fresh loaf of Brown bread for us (waiting for us on the kitchen table), fresh Irish milk, cheese and butter in the fridge and homemade jam, OH MY! That jam was SO GOOD! Cooking breakfast everyday was a pleasure with those great big windows in the kitchen. I loved it! The living and dining room was also quite large and roomy, very homey and comfy. We had cable tv, DVD movies to choose from, a variety of games and books to choose from and we could stay connected with wifi.... Mrs. Mary thought of everything. We were pleasantly pleased and would highly recommend Julie's Cottage to anyone looking for a convenient base to explore the SW.

Comfortable quirky cottage in a good location to explore County Kerry.. The owner went out of her way to make us feel at home.

Julie's Cottage was one of the most comfortable places we've stayed.. The cottage is set in a beautiful location and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the table in the yard at breakfast. The beds were comfortable and the house was well equipped (we like to cook and used the barbecue as well), and we felt completely at home. Above all, our host, Mary, was fantastic. When we lost our way looking for the cottage, she came to meet us, led us back to the house, and showed us how everything was set up. She came back several days later and brought us scones. The location is convenient to Dingle and Kilmarney and many other interesting places. We highly recommend this cottage for couples and families; we noticed that Mary has books and toys for youngsters and even a basket of wool for anyone who'd like to try their hand at knitting.

We had a most enjoyable stay at Julia’s cottage.. Mary was very welcoming and had beautiful home made buns for us to have a cup of tea on arrival. The cottage was well equipped and Mary was keen to make sure we were comfortable and our needs were met. Great holiday and we will be back.

Mrs Baldry

Very comfortable cottage.. We were there for my sisters wedding and the owner was very helpful. She met my sister in Castle Island as they had got lost and escorted them to the cottage. She had left a lovely home baked scone and basic provisions and even gave the happy couple a wedding present as they were leaving.

Mrs Murphy

This was a lovely little cottage.. It was extremely well equipped with excellent facilities. The owner was very accommodating and helpful. We particularly enjoyed having an open fire in the evenings, a game of pool in the outside shelter and sitting in the sun on the pretty little patio. All the bedrooms were very attractive and comfortable with two showers available. The location was lovely and quiet and you could do some walks from the front door. However, it was only a short drive to the main road from where it was an easy journey to either Castleisland, Tralee or Killarney. I would definitely recommend it.

The cottage is really lovely, spacious and very well located to see Dingle, Ring of Kerry and the Killarney Lakes.. owner is very friendly. We had the house just for the 2 o fus, but it would be perfect to go with children, very safe play area outside with basketball loop, large BBQ. Really great cottage. One thing: the description should be corrected: where it says: "Turn right (signposted "Local Traffic) it should say: Turn right - L2020 The Local Traffic sign isn't there.
