Beautiful Setting to Enjoy the Outdoors a special place in Kerry. It is set on the banks of a beautiful river that flows through the historic Blackstone Bridge. very hospitable. The view of the river is seen from the large windows and the sound of the river lulls one to sleep. This is a perfect area for hiking the Kerry Trail. get specific directions as it didn't register on our GPS.

One night visit while hiking the Kerry Way! We mistakenly took the advice of some of the locals we met at a pub (we may have had a pint or two) and took the roadway instead of the hiking trail for the last few kilometres, it took forever and if not for kindhearted Breda may still be walking the roads of Ireland. Wonderful one night stay, accommodations were beautiful, both dinner and breakfast delicious.

Location, location, location We stayed at many wonderful places in Ireland, but for me, none had a nicer location. This house sits perched on the banks of a roaring (and apparently fish-filled) river, in the midst of some of Ireland's wildest countryside. It's a perfect base if you're planning to hike to Ireland's highest point (as I did). But it's also a nice place to escape from the rest of the tourist hordes. The house itself is very comfortable, with spacious rooms and a cozy lounge, and the hosts were very helpful.

"Great stay along the Ring of Kerry" We spent one night along our hiking tour of the Ring of Kerry. After a long day of hiking, we found the house to be spotless, welcoming and beautifully situated beside a rushing river. We ate overlooking the river - We highly recommend the House and thank Breda for our memorable stay - they were totally delightful. Our stay was a highlight of our trip.
