Rookery Lane Studio 1 Juliette Room
This was our favorite stay during our entire trip in Ireland! The space was absolutely adorable. The location was amazing. It was very clean and modern. There was free parking a short walk from the AirBnB.

Michael's House, Ring of Kerry, Sea Views
Michaels place was absolutely incredible.. the house, the views and everything in between! We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. Kerry was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Michael was very responsive and gave us recommendations to do. My kids enjoyed playing outside all day. Also, loved all the big windows in the house and having a fantastic view from each one! Would love to come back and stay again one day! Thank you again for the lovely stay!

Camomile Cottage
We enjoyed staying at Jasmine's place very much. The studio is very nicely furnished with attention to detail and everything you need is available. The location is great, very quiet in the forest with a small stream right outside the door. Kenmare is not far away and you can drive the Ring of Kerry from here. Everything was clean and Jasmine was available at all times and very friendly. We were able to check in flexibly and had privacy. We highly recommend this beautiful place to everyone.

Misty Bay Lodge
Spent a lovely night here- the views are absolutely stunning and the place had everything we needed! The location is perfect for exploring Kenmare!

Luxury Penthouse - Shrubbery Mews No.2, Kenmare,
Had a lovely stay, the apartment, was one of the best we’ve stayed in ever! We have traveled to Ireland a dozen times, first trip to Kenmare, a magical village with history and steeped in charm, absolute must stop on the Ring of Kerry!

Chic home in charming Kenmare
Fabulous house. Exactly as described. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, pubs and a wealth of historical sites (Stone Circle), parkland (Reenagross Woodland), fabulous shopping (The White Room, etc) which makes it difficult to get in the car and sightsee around Kerry! There is a walk into town either turning left or right from the estate. 15-25mins depending on your speed. The house has everything you need, soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel. Hair dryers, straighteners etc. The kitchen is the best I have used at an Air BandB. Everything was new. Tea, coffee, sugar, 4 slice toaster, coffee machine, kettle, microwave, cooker, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, hanging line in garden, outdoor table and chairs etc, so we didnt have to bring anything. Sharon had bought scones, butter, milk and orange juice and there was jam, condiments etc in the fridge. Parking on the doorstep, very private 4 house estate. We stayed 6 nights, beds were bliss! Thank you Sharon and Deirdre

Kingfisher Riverside Retreat
The house was fantastic and Nick is a great host with custom made recommendations about cycling and hiking in the neighbourhood.

Entire contemporary 3 bed residential home.
We had a lovely family holiday in this home, which was perfect for our one year old. Enclosed garden, 3 mins walk to town and lots of space! We will definitely return.
