    Clean, quiet and in a beautiful spot!

    The pressure in one of the bathrooms was not very powerful, although we managed to have showers nonetheless. Some little parts of the house were a bit rusty due to the proximity with the salty water I guess (not a major problem though)

    My friends and I loved the quietness of the area and proximity to the water (walking distance really) Easy parking and easy to get the keys from the pub next door. It was all clean and the beds were comfortable. Great place for up to 4 people.

    The property needs attention. There are lots of small issues that would not cost a lot nor take a lot of time to fix. Its a pity because its a great house.

    Great house with lovely sea views. Next door to a great bar and restaurant that serves fabulous food.

    The couch was not super comfortable. The kitchen had a sign requesting it be kept clean, and we found the grill tray hadn’t been cleaned and a glass had been put in the cupboard unwashed, so not sure how much attention is paid to cleaning the kitchen when guests check out. There were also marks on the ceilings and evidence of black mould around the upstairs windows and it was particularly evident in the back bedroom en-suite. The holiday was a birthday present for my partner and quite a lot of money for me, so I was really disappointed to see mould.

    The open plan layout downstairs was lovely. The kitchen was well kitted out with utensils. The beds were so comfy (if quite small, and neither of us are particularly tall). I loved that the rooms had en-suites and that there was a downstairs toilet. The views were stunning. The location was amazing and so idyllic. The restaurant next door was wonderful for a treat.

    Maybe a minor but only 2 cups, not that it matter really. Showerhead dropped onto my husband's head when he tried to adjust it.

    Supreme location, lovely house. Everything was as advertised. Hotel quality bed linen and towels.

    The floor of one of the bathrooms was not clean, I didn't complain, I cleaned myself. The water was not warm all time. We had hot water in the evening but not in the morning. We could not manage to get hot water in the morning, but due to the lack of time we could not ask how to fix it.

    Very nice view, nice landscape, very good restaurant and always helpful and friendly bartender.

    The self-catering cottages are adequate, rather then luxurious, and in a fantastic location by the sea. The real bonus is the restaurant next door -- it's popular, so be sure to book.

    The showers had so few pressure, it was hard to have a quality bath in the front bedroom. The location, besides being beautiful, is 30 minutes away from the Killarney's city center, which might not be convenient if you wanna enjoy the night there.

    The rooms are comfortable and the accommodation is located in a beautiful place, close to the ocean with a great view. The house has a pub next door which is part of the restaurant as well, and this was the highlight of our stay. Everyone was so welcoming and kind in the pub, which is a very cool place.

    Location was excellent. Friendly staff and customers in the bar. Both bedrooms had ensuite. Wood provided for fire. Plenty hot water and heating. Great value for money.

    It's not what I didn't like but rather something that needs a bit of attention - cold tap in the ground floor bathroom didn't work and showerheads needs looking at (limescale). To be fair the shower was functional and I could wash the hands elsewhere in the house.

    Accommodation was comfortable, had what you needed on site including a washing machine. Very close to the beach. Beds comfortable and plenty of hot water available. It was good value for money and I would stay again.

    Beds seemed a little short. Couch was not comfortable. Kitchen facilities adequate but would have liked some oven proof dishes for cooking. Only one teaspoon.

    Location, views, Cromane Beach and Point. Good base for exploring Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula. Lovely Kells Bay gardens not too far away. Restaurant was excellent for dinner and had lovely staff. Nice to have ensuite bedrooms.

    The only thing to let us down was the bed!! Both rooms have double beds but unfortunately there only 4foot beds so our feet where off the bottom if we stretched out our legs ,which ment we had cramps from keeping our knees bent. .

    The view was amazing and the grounds wonderful to sit out in. The staff went above and beyond from check-in to the bar staff and the lady's in the restaurant friendly and so helpful and welcoming. The best pint of Guinness and the most fantastic food . The mussels in particular where ordered each day . The steak was cooked to perfection and the fish and scallops where fresh and so tasty.
