Beautiful location & good facilities in the house. Insufficient heating so freezing cold…we stayed out most of the time. Dirty…needs a good clean. Filthy windows outside. Cheap & very nasty bedding. While I can cope with that I couldn’t cope with the smell. The pillows & duvet stank of being over used & not washed. The duvet covers were grubby. Ruined my holiday. Felt so sick the first night I bought new pillows the next day, which fortunately as my friend had her car, could be transported back to England. Hated getting out of the shower & being cold with damp towels. Not a holiday for me….more of an endurance test!

We had a fabalous time the house was right beside the bay the peace and tranquility was very welcome.. If you want somewhere for peace and quiet this is the place .The house had everything it was clean and very comfortable will definitely go back again so looking forward to holidaying in Inbhear Seine again.

Mr Mahon

The house is in a very well maintained estate and is immediately overlooking the estuary and the Sheen Falls hotel.. The place was very well equipped and was very comfortable for our one week stay in August. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Kenmare town centre is a 15 minute walk away along a footpath and has excellent shops and restaurants. Compliance with COVID-19 requirements was evident in most places. I I would highly recommend this house.

Position next to the beautiful Kenmare Bay was beautiful..

Mr Sharples

Lovely, have actually booked again in September.. 3 small negatives. The frying pan was greasy ., Numbers are erased on electric hob dials, and therefore was difficult to operate, needs renewing. Under unit lighting in kitchen didnt work properly. We had a great holiday, but wifi would be a bonus.

Cottage heating was not very energy efficient and you have to pay for any electricity over 25 euros. We did no cooking, were hardly in at all and yet we still had to pay an extra 5 euros so electricity would be expensive if you were cooking and heating the house which is large. The house was freezing cold on arrival, bed linen was dreadful and cheap. The cupboards in the kitchen still had previous tenants leftover packets of opened food. The place needs a good clean and redecoration. The house is in a good location with lovely views but you had to wait for the owner to take a meter reading and 50 EUR deposit which was held against any electricity used and we had to hang around and wait for him to return to give us back any of our deposit before we left . There were curtains hanging over the heater in the twin bedroom which was a fire hazard and we told him that the fridge light had a mind of it's own as to whether it was working or not but the owner didn't seem too bothered about. There was also an awful sewage smell that came into the lounge from the laundry room which we couldn't get rid of. The t.v choice is limited and there is no WI FI and there was no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. There were some left over ice lollies in the freezer (which we did not touch).

Location is great although it is a little walk to the town

The holiday cottage was an excellent location for touring Kerry.. So glad we chose Kenmare as this is a lovely little town with lots going on in the evenings and nice shops and cafes in the day. The cottage was clean and comfortable and on the whole had everything needed for the week. The owner came to meet us late at night when we arrived to see us in (which we had agreed and arranged beforehand) and checked all was going well during the week. The cottage had lovely view over the lake. I would give it 10/10 except for a minor thing. I was disappointed to find on arrival that there was not a pint of milk in the fridge or any sort of welcome tray. I have stayed in holiday cottages for the past 25 years and I think this is probably the first one that I have arrived at and not found milk and some sort of tea tray (maybe I have just been lucky in the past?), so as we arrived late there was not a cup of tea until after we had been shopping on the Sunday :-(. As I say a very small thing, but it is sometimes the little extra touches that make the difference.... I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone.

Kenmare is great for visiting Killarney area, Beara and Invereagh peninsulas, and is lovely in itself, great bars and restaurants.. Ate a couple of times in PF McCarthy - all food excellent! The view from the cottage is fantastic and we were lucky to have wonderful weather and sit out. Cottage is roomy, has very comfy beds and everything we needed. I suppose Wi-fi would be nice, but managed with data roaming now same as home use in Ireland. The countryside is stunning everywhere. Particularly loved Derrynane beach which has it all - huge, fine sand, islands out of sea including one to walk to at low tide, rock formations in sand, dunes, walks, waves, mountain views and Daniel O'Connell's house to visit (didn't try it as weather too good). Also loved Blue Pool Ferry to Garnish Island and visiting the Botannic gardens there. A wonderful holiday.

The cottage was really lovely! Great location - easy walk to Aldi/Lidl and into Kenmare town. Very clean and everything was of quality. The only thing that would have been nice was a few DVDs and a few games but that is a minor detail!
