Comfort is frequently commended, with guests finding the beds comfy and the house cosy. There were minor comments about the size of a twin bed and water pressure, but overall, the property is seen as comfortable.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and lovely meals at the golf club. However, there were several mentions of issues with appliances, lack of bathroom mats, and a desire for better instructions for heating and a hoover. The absence of WiFi was also noted.

The fixtures and fittings in the property are of a high standard and clean. The views around are breathtaking, it's in a good position for visiting many places of interest. Kenmare is a short drive away and other attractions within easy reach. Garnish Island and Dereen Garden are in a beautiful setting and well worth a visit. There are numerous ancient stone circles and buriel chambers nearby. The only minor issue was a lack of kitchen essentials, eg washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and kitchen roll which you would expect in an outstanding property. Also no welcome pack.

Beautiful setting and very quiet. A short walk to the golf club where you can get a lovely meal in a stunning setting. There were no instructions for the heating or to use the stove even though the welcome book said there were I would definitely book this property again
