This is a fantastic, well equipped stunning property. It really is a home from home with everything you could possibly need. And what can I say re the location except it is absolute perfection. Close to the pretty village of Sneem and also a great base for exploring the beautiful ring of Kerry - would definitely recommend this property.

"Fabulous house in a spectacular setting!"
We've rented many houses/apartments in various parts of the world over the years, and this place is by far our all time favorite. The house on its own is really beautiful, tastefully decorated, and incredibly well equipped, so that alone is reason to recommend it. But the setting is above and beyond wonderful, even in December! We arrived in the dark, so the morning view out the windows was such a wonderful surprise -- mountains, water, mist, sun -- and the grounds around the house provide even more amazing vistas. We particularly enjoyed our morning walks to Oysterbed Pier. Lily and Eugene met us when we arrived and were so pleasant and helpful giving us advice about exploring the area. We really hated to leave and will do our utmost to return again soon.

"Best We've Experienced!!" We stay at many holiday homes. Lilly's far exceeded the others. The comfort and cleanliness of the home was superb. It is well stocked with everything you need. The artwork in the home is an added bonus. A beautiful, peaceful setting. I wish all the homes we rented were this spectacular. Thanks for a wonderful get away!

"Perfect house with amazing views"
The house itself is set up on a hill overlooking the bay, and the views are stunning.
Inside the house is so well set up for a family holiday. All the bedrooms are en-suite and the owners provide amazingly soft towels. The beds & pillows are also really comfy.
The kitchen is so well equipped its so easy to cook meals in the house. They even provided some basics for our arrival such as bread, butter and some snacks which was a really lovely touch.
The house is beautifully decorated and clearly a lot of thought has gone into this house by the owners.
Before we even arrived Lilly and Eugene helped us by providing contact details for some local activities we could book, and then they came in person to say hello on the Sunday.
The garden is huge and there are some lovely trails that are well maintained that you can go and explore.
Would love to come back to this house again as enjoyed going out and about as much as sitting in the conservatory in the evening watching the views.

"A beautiful, clean, well equipped cottage"
We had a great week here, absolutely faultless! The owners have gone to great trouble to make sure the stay was fabulous. From lovely linens to leaving some goodies in the fridge for our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we felt quite at home strait away. We would definitely stay there again.
