It is off the main road away from traffic noise a short 10-15 min walk into Kenmare Town.Beside Kenmare Golf Course.Close to shops a great starting base for all 3 rings and West Cork.
I love welcoming guests to my home and look forward to meeting you on your arrival.
My Favourite place to visit is Garnish Island in GlenGarriff a 30 min drive and then get the ferry about 10min ride to Garnish to see the Italian Gardens and as you are travelling there the Seals are basking in the sun on the surrounding rocks.
