We had a lovely stay at Pinewood Lodge and Joan was lovely. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and grateful. The lodge was very well equipped and was a perfect location for us to explore County Kerry. Thank you

Lovely location, amazing views!
Brought my family for a week’s stay at Cashlene cottage. The cottage was perfect for our needs, plenty of space, very comfy beds, and wonderful views. The dogs enjoyed the grounds of the house running through the long grass, the garden was not secure all round but our dogs don’t wander so wasn’t an issue. We had great weather, Kylemore Abbey was probably the highlight of our week, Renvyle beach was beautiful ( parking limited so get down early!), everywhere you drive the views are incredible. Clifden also is worth a visit, welcoming pubs and nice wee shops.
My daughter and I walked down from the cottage and up along the path by the beach next to the castle up to the fields early morning where you can watch the hares in the fields. Bring binoculars if you can as there’s lots of wildlife to see if you like that sort of thing.
We had a great stay and would definitely book again in the future.

Huge bungalow in a beautiful setting looking over towards the Ring of Kerry. Beautiful Inch stand is a few minutes drive away. The bungalow is in a great location to access Dingle, Tralee, Killarney and the start of the Ring of Kerry drive. Inside the bungalow is large & spacious and spotlessly clean. There is a large sitting room with stunning views. The kitchen is well equipped with a large separate utility room. The bedrooms are large, all with en-suite bathrooms. The beds and pillows are very comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend staying here.
