Great location.. 5 minute drive into the town centre. Wifi worked really well but TV reception not great, we only had RTE1., although this was not a problem for us as there was so much to do and see in Killarney. The furniture was a bit dated but that would not put me off. Would definitely stay here again. It's a lovely holiday home

We had an amazing holiday in Killarney.. The house was fantastic with everything we needed. We will definitely be back. The hosts were helpful and always on hand if we needed them.

The cottage was very comfortable, spacious and clean.. And extremely warm even though it was very cold outside. It was a 5 minutes drive to town centre and all shops so a perfect location outside of the noise from traffic but close enough to everything.

A very nice house. In a quiet area not to far from town. Everything there you required. The lower bedroom shower had some mould growth which was easily removed

Will definitely go back to this place, my family had a great feeling of it, like home away...good spot to discover southwest of Ireland, charming landlady who came to say goodbye while she wasn’t well

Mrs Hames, December 2019

A very secure garden with gates.. Nice people to deal with booking, we would definitely recommend Fernfood

Mrs Mitchell, August 2019

House had everything we needed.. 5 mins to town centre of Killarney.

Mrs Jerome

The house was very nice in a nice quiet setting.. The only concern was that the streets are busy and narrow, making it difficult to walk to town. Otherwise, the house was very nice and had everything we needed for 8 people. The owner was prompt and helpful.

Mr Coyne

We booked this house for my mother's sixtieth and it was excellent.. Great location, very clean with good facilities. Our dogs were allowed to stay there too, which suited us perfectly. We will definitely stay there again.

December 2018

We were very disappointed because after 3 wonderful cottages in the summer of 2018 the expectations were not met which were caused by the description and the photos of the house.. Calculated on the possible sum of 8 guests there is a poor selection of kitchen equipment and the toaster is not really in good condition, just like the fridge, a coffee machine is not available. As described from Faye and Tommy Murphy the showers were still very dirty and showed mold in the corners and the closing mechanisms. The kitchen oven is still so dirty inside that we couldn't use it. There were also no books or games available as advertised. We bought 6 wine glasses for completion. The oil central heating has no electronic control, only hot or cold, and the air bubbles in the pipes made terrible noise and little warm, especially in the upper bedrooms. The costs of "reading" are enormous. They wanted more than 20% additional fees, calculated on the rental cost, only after negotiations these were then reduced to 15%. That means 1214 Euro for 2 weeks and additional 180 Euro for oil and electricity. Compared to a current heating oil price of 0.70 cents / liter, this is completely overdrawn. It is a must to represent this in the house description by numbers, if we had known this in advance we wouldn’t have booked this house. The house itself is beautiful but requires much more maintenance and replacement of some old electrical appliances to meet expectations, especially regarding to this price level.

November 2018

There was no fire starter pack as advertised and was not possible to light the fire as there was no coal bucket or fire set.. There was no patio as advertised, no books or games. The décor was out dated and uncomfortable. There was a poor selection of glasses, we asked for wine glasses which we never received. The showers were very dirty and blocked each time they were used. We could not use the oven as it was so dirty. We did not meet the lady that owned the house only her son who checked us in, on check out we pointed out these problems to him. We are under the impression that they have cleaners that come in at change over and there work is never checked (obviously). Nice house but needs a décor update and proper cleaning at change over.

The house was perfect for our needs and could have been built with our extended family in mind, space for all of us and room to spread out.. Also the enclosed garden meant we could leave the children and dog out with no worries.

Miss McAteer

The house was slightly off the beaten track but was ideal for us.. Had everything you could possibly want in a house and was very comfortable. It was cosy and warm - really enjoyed staying there.

Mr Campbell

The cottage was close to Killarney with a supermarket really close by, yet far enough out to be nice and quiet. It was superbly situated for visiting many tourist areas such as ring of Kerry, dingle, tralee, kenmare and kilarney itself is a fabulous town with so much going on day and night. We were absolutely delighted with the cottage. It was so spacious, beautifully clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were really comfortable and 3 of the 4 bedrooms had en suite's leaving the 4th bedroom with sole use of the bathroom. I really couldn't fault the cottage at all, the owners were superb from start to finish. I left a couple of valuable items behind when we left and the owners were so helpful getting the items sent back to me in the UK. Killarney is a long drive from the uk ferries so if you are doing that journey, be sure to take basic items with you for when you arrive at the cottage. I would absolutely recommend this cottage and area to anybody who wants to see this beautiful part of the country and if I go back, which is likely, I would not stay anywhere else.

Sykes cottages was so easy to use with automatic reminders when balances were due and good information on how to collect keys, directions etc.. The cottage was absolutely fabulous, much bigger than I expected and very comfortable. The location was very central to various areas we wanted to see. All in all a pretty perfect holiday.

Having travelled for nearly 12 hours it would have been nice to have a welcome pack to at least make a cup of tea..

Owner was lovely.. Keen to know if there was anything that we needed. Welcome was good but she was not at all intrusive. Killarney is a great area to stay in. Had an amazing holiday.

This was a beautiful detached cottage 1km outside Killarney town. Due to the busy road I wouldn't recommend walking into the town but it's only 5mins drive. The owner was a lovely lady who was very sweet. Perfect holiday home for my young family where they could enjoy themselves without worrying about making too much noise. Can't wait to stay here again!

Mrs Maynard, September 2016

Our group was 3 adults and 4 kids and Fernwood was very clean and spacious. It was also a very warm and homely house. In a super location with all the sights at your doorstep. Killarney town just beside it and a fabulous Leisure centre just down the road. It ticked all the boxes.
