Had a fantastic time, with superb surroundings.. John was very helpful with anything we needed. We where expecting it to be a bit out from killarney and really it wasn't to bad. If you are willing to do a bit of driving this is a fantastic location as you get the beautiful surroundings to enjoy.

First the map location of the cottage shown by Booking.. Com was , as you know , incorrect. This I reported to you and you confirmed that the cottage was actually in Beaufort. It was not , it was miles from the village. If I had not hired a car we would have been marooned there with nothing within walking distance ( apart from Kissanes shop ) No pubs , no restaurants , no footpaths and no street lights. You should say in future that there are no amenities close by and that a car is essential. I have to say that not withstanding the above the cottage itself was exceptional, roomy, comfortable with all mod cons.
