A bit mixed.
Mostly comfortable. A bit cold. Not sure if 6 people would be comfortable. Paying for electric at the end is unusual. Remote and very rural. Beautiful surroundings. One of the showers is really good. Kitchen is mostly well equipped. Not sure if i would stay there again. Local bar is really friendly. Good for local touring.

Idyllic cottage, gorgeous location
This cottage was absolutely lovely. The location is absolutely gorgeous, and the drive to and from the cottage every day was wonderful. The cottage itself was very clean and cute. We were out exploring most of the days we stayed there, but returning to the cottage every night felt so relaxing and cozy. It was our favorite part of the trip! Lots to do nearby--killarney national park, horseback riding, pubs and shops in kenmare....would highly recommend! Josephine was a great hostess--easy to communicate with and stopped by the cottage to greet us.

lovely property, with a lovely host
Lovely isolated cottage which has been updated to a high standard. The host is charming and the location is very very quiet, all you can hear are the birds, even the nearby cows do not moo loudly, ideal for a relaxing stay.

Great location, adorable house
We only stayed for two nights, but the house was very clean. Even though you have to pay extra for Oil and Electricity it was only about 12 euro, so with the lower costs of renting I found this very fair. It was in a great location close to Sneem and to Kelmare. If we come back to the Ring of Kerry area I would book here again. Thank you again for having us. :)

Spacious clean cottage in idyllic setting.
The cottage is completely on its own in a mountainous landscape, (except for one or two isolated cottages dotted about). It's perfectly situated to explore the Kerry coast and mountains- don't miss the Ballagbeama Gap. There isn't a garden but a gravel surround which you could kick a ball in or sit outside admiring the view. Owner very helpful and responded quickly when the immersion heater broke down. Probably our favourite cottage ever!

Lovely Cosy Quiet Cottage in a Beautiful part of the World
The cottage has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen/utility room and a snug so there was plenty of room for just the two of us. A lot of information about the area was available in the cottage when we arrived. The owner Josephine visited us after we arrived to explain things and to suggest places to eat and visit while we were there. This was great. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals which was good as the nearest town was around twenty minutes away. Beds were a little hard for us and could have been better. We used this place as a base to visit surrounding areas which worked perfectly for us.

Lovely rural cottage, ideal for families and those who enjoy the countryside.
We stayed at Feirm Cottage for a week and had a very plesant stay. Josephine is a lovely lady whom welcomes you to her property then leaves you to enjoy the peaceful countryside. The cottage is set in a rural location and set on a farm. It is a half hour or so drive from Kenmare. If you enjoy being away from it all and the beauriful countryside this place is for you. We were a family of six whom found the cottage to be comfortable and relaxing and child friendly. It has all the amenities one needs. It would have been ideal to have a grass garden / play area for the children to play in after a long days drive however there are plenty of walkways in the area. Listening to the birds chirping and cows going about the land is a treat. There are many tourist attractions within an hours drive and the scenery of the peninsulas is breathtaking. A must.

Haus in den Bergen
Bernadette ist eine sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Dame. Es handelt sich um ein kleines, gemütliches Haus in einer sensationellen Lage Mitten im Nationalpark. Nach Kenmare benötigt man über die kleinen Straßen 25 Minuten. Der Blick von der Terrasse ist atemberaubend. Bei Buchung muss man nur wissen das es abseits liegt - ein Pubbesuch mal eben ist nicht möglich, das muss man planen. Das ganze Objekt ist sehr sauber und besitzt alles was ein Haus haben muss. Das obere Badezimmer ist etwas klein, aber auch daran gewöhnt man sich schnell. Schönster und größter Raum ist die moderne Küche mit dem Essbereich. Das Wohnzimmer ist eher klein, besitzt aber auch alles was man benötigt. Mit 5 Erwachsenen war es uns keinesfalls zu eng. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt- das Haus liegt sehr gut für Ausflüge: Wandern im Nationalpark, Ring of Kerry, Kilarney, Mizen Head und selbst Cork ist erreichbar. Für uns war es eine unvergessliche Woche- jederzeit wieder.

quiétude au rendez vous
Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans cette maison de ferme renovée. Nous nous y sommes beaucoup plus. wifi un peu faible mais les propriétaires n'y peuvent rien. C'est comme ça un peu partout en Irlande : on ne peut pas être à la campagne et avoir les services des grandes villes. Joséphine nous a indiqué les sites à ne pas manquer (elle avait raison). Nous avons eu des problèmes d'eau chaude qui ont été réglés au plus vite... Merci à Joséphine et à son mari.

A very nice house in a beautiful, rough and quit area.
The house did meet our expectations of a nice house in a beautiful, rough and quit area. A good starting point for a hike. Nevertheless the city of Kenmare and the Ring of Kerry are only half an hour away (by car). The very kind Mrs. O'Neill gave us the very good advise to visit the Island of Valentia, away from the 'official' route of the Ring. It was really beautiful.

Mooie cottage in de bergen.
Prachtige cottage. Gelegen tussen de bergen. Uitgebreide keuken met ruime slaapkamers en twee badkamers. Zeer gezellige zitkamer. Josephine was een hele vriendelijke mevrouw die ons verschillende tips heeft gegeven over de omgeving. Zeer aan te raden voor een vakantie in Kerry.
