Innisfree House - 4 Bedroom Altantic View Cottage

This large Kerry self-catering holiday home is a spacious detached house.
Free WIFI
It has 4 bedrooms, two very large rooms each with a Queen size bed and 2 single single beds & two with Double beds all rooms with sea views, 3 bathrooms (one with jacuzzi bath), two large reception rooms and is fully equipped with everything to make your holiday an enjoyable one. There are extras to make it a home from home e.g. extra china & utensils, a fully equipped picnic basket, among other things. Condiments, such as olive oil, salt, pepper, spices etc and cleaning stuff. Even wellingtons & lots more. The extra large upstairs sitting room has two balconies offering panoramic views. There is satellite TV .
It has some of the most scenic views across Balinskelligs Bay. Ballinskelligs is renowned for its miles of golden beaches (Blue Flag Award) and turquoise water. The area has its own Irish College, where children come in summer to learn the Irish Language. The area has a unique history and culture and was the mainland connection for the monks that lived on Skellig Michael.

The Blue Flag Beach, where the 16th Century Castle of the McCarthy was built to protect the bay from pirates, is a few minutes walk from Dungegan and is spectacular in fine weather but also makes for a beautiful setting for walking or some quiet thought on a blustery day. The village of Dungegan is typical of most rural Irish villages. Village life is centered on the local pubs in the evenings, where you can enjoy traditional Irish music and dancing.

It is is easily accessible through Cork and Kerry airports and 1 hour drive from Killarney train station. 1 hour drive from Kerry Airport (Direct flights with Ryan Air from Dublin, London Luton & Stansted and Frankfurt Hahn)

Back of house is a secluded Large patio area for outdoor eating with stone built BBQ & an Indian sandstone table,
It overlooks the expanse of the Bay
There is an landscaped garden a dry stone wall with Ranch style wooden gate at entrance.

For the lazy days there are plenty of distractions to keep you amused including satellite television, DVDs, books, X-box, games, & board games. There is a real open fire in the sitting room.

Some of the nearby lakes and beaches attract anglers from all over Europe and there are fishing rods and tackle for use by anyone interested. Ballinskelligs Water sports is locally based & hires kayaks, boats and windsurfing. , scuba diving can be done also. Local areas of interest Valentia Island, Knightstown-Cahirciveen Ferry, Glanleam House Sub Tropical Gardens, Skellig Rocks Boat Trips, St Finians Bay (Surfing), Waterville & Skelligs Golf Courses, Portmagee Village, Waterville Lake Fishing, Sailing and Kayaking and Skelligs Chocolate Factory. Beautiful walks, cycles and drives. Award winning seafood restaurants within 10 minutes drive.

A highlight is a boat trip from Portmagee to the stunning Skellig Michael .Skellig Rock

The Skellig rocks, which are located 12kms off the coast of Kerry, are of such an importance that they have been made a World Heritage Site. When you first see The Skelligs you wonder how or why anyone would live on such a remote rock in the middle of The Atlantic , when you visit and stand on the site of the monastery and Experience the Skelligs then you begin to understand.

Waterville is just 10 minutes drive The late Henry Cotton, three times British Open Champion, probably said it best when he commented: 'Waterville has to be one of the greatest golf courses ever built. If it were located in Britain, it would undoubtedly be a venue for the British Open. I have never seen a more consistent succession of really strong and beautiful golf holes than here.'

Another jewel in the crown is Dooks Golf Links.
. The golf course is laid out on one of three stretches of sand dunes at the head of Dingle Bay. In the immediate foreground are the dune peninsulas of Rossbeigh and Inch, while just a few short miles away, the whitewashed houses of Cromane fishing village provide another eye catching distraction. To the southeast are the famed peaks of McGillycuddy Reeks, while looking northwards across the bay; one can see Slieve Mish and the Dingle mountains dominate the landscape. Dooks offers the visitor a unique links experience in a majestic setting and is perfectly suited to the golfer seeking a tranquil environment in which to enjoy a superb golf course. The par 3, 13th hole, measuring 150 yards, probably best represents the charm and magic that is inherent at Dooks.

Other nearby activities include cycling, walking, horse riding, fishing, diving, windsurfing,& many other water-sports.

It is minutes walk from the Ballinskelligs Inn and Rosie's Tavern.

A new children's playground opened last year and is only 10 minutes walk from the house. It is a great addition to the local facilities.

We had a lovely family holiday. 3 generations from 5 years to 71 years. The house gave us all the space we needed to make a great holiday for us all. The kitchen was well equipped with every conceivable utensil. Loads of outside space with great views. We felt very much at home.

Alles bestens
- Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. - Da das Wetter eher schlecht war, waren wir froh, dass wir mit den Kleinkindern den großen Aufenthaltsrum im 1. Stock hatten. - Es war sehr angenehm, dass es 3 Bäder gibt.
