Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location! Exactly as described and pictured. The road coming in is very narrow so I wouldn't recommend arriving in the dark but it's worth the trek!

This house—and location—are fabulous! The stunning view is easy to appreciate from the flagstone patio, cozy living room nook, dining room table, and amazing master bedroom. Large living room comfortably accommodated a large group. We appreciated the nice touches like sheepskins and blankets for outside, lots of firewood, and instructions for all of the appliances. Love this place!

Gorgeous Home, Stunning Setting

If you are looking to truly experience Ireland, this is the rental to choose. The house is well stocked and extremely clean and comfortable. We have stayed at some gorgeous places but the setting here is beyond amazing. Lake and mountain views all around. Although the road to the rental feels a little scary at first, it added to the experience and the spectacular views never got old. We had a group of ten, spanning three generations, and everyone agreed that we couldn’t have imagined better accommodations. Theo was a lovely and responsive host. Highly recommend!

Beautiful setting in the Irish Countryside

The house is beautiful, but the setting overlooking the valley and lake is the real star. This was the perfect place to unwind in between sightseeing.

Family get together & holiday

We had an excellent week at Jameseys providing enough space and confort for our group of 9, perfect location to explore the area : ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park and the Reeks in the backyard. The view on Lough Caragh and Dingle bay is fabulous !

Absolutely amazing stay at Jamesey’s Cottage!! The views from the cottage were unforgettable

Myself and 7 friends had an amazing stay at Theo and Clodagh’s property. Spacious and quiet with amazing views over the lake. The facilities were all great quality and communication very easy. Not far from loads of different attractions and lovely pubs. Well be back again!

Trip to Ireland

We chose this location for the beautiful home and the tranquil location. It is conveniently located to Kilarney and the Ring of Kerry. I main goal in this location while heading to Cork from Dublin was to see the Kilarney National Park and the Ring of Kerry. This place was a fantastic retreat at the end of the day!!

The house was absolutely perfect. The beds were comfortable and the house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. The views were amazing. Everything was what was expected and then more. The drive up to the house was a little scary at first, but honestly, a lot of fun too. We are only sad that we couldn’t have stayed longer. Our hosts were so kind and informative. This was the perfect location to get away and really experience quiet and peace, and still get to visit Dingle, Slea Head drive, Ring of Kerry and Killarney National Park. Our teenagers also loved the house and spending time outside together on the deck. One of our favorite stays, we will be back!

Great family vacation

Our family spent a week at the cottage for my daughter’s graduation celebration. Absolutely beautiful location with a breathtaking view! Road to the cottage is narrow and was taken slowly; incredible landscape and lots to see along the way! Communication with the hosts was great; appreciated their responsiveness!! Would highly recommend for a stay and hoping to get back some day for another visit!!

Great family vacation spot!

Beautiful surroundings with a spectacular view of the lake. The closest town of Killorglin is about 15 minutes away and has a large choice of super markets. We loved visiting the County of Kerry and coming back in the evening to a comfortable environment with a large room downstairs and a play area for kids upstairs. Excellent communication with the host. We highly recommend Jamesy's Cottage.

Girls getaway

What started out as a golfers trip changed to a siblings and significant others trip with the girls (9) staying at Jamesey’s Cottage and the boys (9) staying at a different location about 16km away. We had a fantastic time at Jamesey’s Cottage with the awesome views from a beautiful home. And, had we been able to pick the weather we would want for our trip, we couldn’t have picked better, it was fantastic. Hope to come back in the future.

Great home, great space, beautiful view!

Lovey home. Enough space for many people. Lovely views. Out in the country, abou 20 min from Killorglin. Great space for kids. Could use a deep clean, but it really was fantastic! You’ll need to buy firewood before you get there.

Breathtaking

What an incredible view! It was a bit off the beaten path, but the drive was definitely worth it. Our hosts provided a clean, spacious home, with room for the whole family. We could not have asked for more. They even provided some basic pantry items which I was sure we would have to purchase. Flowers in the garden are lovely.
