Great stay and great place to explore the south-west of Ireland. Very calm location with deers, sheep in the garden and with a stunning view from the living room on the Kenmare Bay.

Great place with a stunning view and deer around

We had a great week. The house is in beautiful nature. The view of the livingroom is stunning. Kenmare is a cute town and a perfect base to see many places. The house is big enough for a family with teenagers who need their space.

We were greeted by an awful smell of drains. Martin went and bought some plug in air fresheners which masked the smell but certainly didn’t cure it. The view is spectacular and having sheep and deer in the garden was wonderful but that is about the end of the positives. There is no maintenance done to the house and it isn’t very inviting at all. It needs a good clean, we had just three dinner plates in the cupboard in a house that sleeps six! The baking trays were disgusting and the frying pans had loose handles. Martin did buy two new ones and provided more plates. There is an old wooden toilet seat in the bathroom and an odd wooden mat. One of the windows are badly blown, the ceilings have got damp stains and one of the pictures has dropped out of its surround. I don’t think they look at the place any more, they can’t do or they wouldn’t present the house like it. It is the most expensive house we’ve ever rented and by far the worst. I wouldn’t recommend this house to anyone.

Great house; amazing views; surrounded by nature

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely spacious and comfortable house with the most spectacular views. I knew to expect great views from the photos and reviews but it is even more amazing in real life. We just stared out the window for the first few hours (lol), looking across the bay at the mountains stretching out for miles and watching the little birds fly up the window. Martin was a great host right from our initial communication and he gave us lots of tips, local knowledge and places to visit that we might not have found in a guide book. We had 2 teenagers who enjoyed the fact that there was lots of space and different rooms to relax in. One of the boys also enjoyed the football pitch and climbing/exploring the mountain to the back of the house. The house is well equipped and we liked the clarity around recycling and the simple processes in place. The beds were clean and comfortable and it was nice to light the fire on some of the cooler nights we had. The lane up to the house is a journey in itself - but a wonderful journey and you do get used to it - you do also get rewarded when you spot a family of deer or a bird of prey and you can stop to buy fresh eggs from the honesty box on the way up. It really is a wonderful setting and if you enjoy nature and solitude and don't mind being a bit remote this is the place for you. We would love to return, and our dog would too - very dog friendly!

Geräumiges Haus in Alleinlage auf dem Berg mit genialer Aussicht auf die Kenmare Bay und das gegenüberliegende Bergland.Die Ausstattung ist gut, in der Küche ist soweit alles vorhanden, was man braucht.Die Versorgung mit Warmwasser müsste verbessert werden.Insgesamt ist das Haus sehr in die Jahre gekommen und müsste generalsaniert werden.Auch die Einrichtung ist größtenteils abgewohnt und bedarf einer Erneuerung.Dass die Hinterlassenschaften der Schafe, die sich auf dem Grundstück aufhalten, nicht beseitigt werden, geht gar nicht.Trotzdem haben wir uns insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt!

Location un peu décevante

La location est bien située pour visiter la région.Grande maison très lumineuse.Par contre, un bon nettoyage ne serait pas un luxe (cuisine et salles de bains)Beaucoup d'objets traînant aux alentours en extérieur,qui laissent un effet de désordre et de manque d'entretien.Dommage car cette location pourrait être superbe

Wat een fijne bijzondere plek, halverwege de berg met prachtig uitzicht

We hadden mazzel met het weer, waardoor ons verblijf in het vakantiehuis helemaal goed uit de verf kwam. De rit er naartoe is steeds een leuke uitdaging, waar wij wel van hielden. Martijn, is een goede gastheer.

Un gîte dans un endroit sauvage, avec une vue à couper le souffle. Des hôtes très gentils et disponibles. Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans ce gîte depuis lequel il est très facile d'explorer la péninsule de Beara ou d'aller dans les pubs de Kenmare.A recommander chaudement.

Entspannter Urlaub

Das Haus mit dem besonderen Ausblick entsprach absolut der Beschreibung. In traumhafter Lage am Hang mit Blick über Wald und Gärten bis zur Bay haben wir die Abendstunden gerne am Panoramafenster gesessen. Wir haben wertvolle Tips von Martin erhalten und einen sehr schönen Teil von Irland kennen gelernt, bei allerbestem Wetter.

Hervorragende Lage und sehr netter Vermieter

Wir waren insgesamt zufrieden. Die Lage des Hauses ist hervorragend, viel Platz, eine tolle Aussicht und mitten in der Natur. Man hat alles was man braucht. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind ebenfalls in der Nähe, aber nicht fußläufig erreichbar. Das einzige was uns wirklich gestört hat waren die unsauberen Fenster, sowie die Decke in der Galerie, welche mit unzähligen Spinnennetzen überzogen war. Beides wurde offensichtlich seit Jahren nicht mehr geputzt. Auch die Möbel sind schon ziemlich abgewohnt und sollten über kurz oder lang erneuert werden. Ich hoffe die Bewertung ist nicht zu negativ geworden.

Wunderschöner Ausblick

Martin ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Der Check-in und die Kommunikation während des Aufenthalts verliefen absolut reibungslos. Das Haus ist wie beschrieben mit allem ausgestattet was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt braucht. Die Umgebung und die Lage sind traumhaft. Der Ausblick aus dem Panorama-Fenster noch schöner als auf dem Foto. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen!!! 5 Sterne!!!
