Outside, the gardens are also frequented by roaming deer early in the morning and late in the evening; if you feel like entertaining them, we recommend placing cabbage somewhat away from the house (as deer are naturally cautious and will keep their distance).

The Kenmare area
Many things have been said about Kenmare, located in Co. Kerry in the picturesque south-west of Ireland.
Kenmare has been described as the Jewel in the Crown of the Kingdom, a Gourmet Town, a Five Star Location and a designated Heritage Town. It is the winner of numerous Tidy Town Gold Medals and its pretty streetscape, dating back to 1670, together with the magnificent location on Kenmare Bay at the foot of the Cork and Kerry mountains draws visitors back year after year. Situated on both the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara, and easily accessible by air (Kerry Airport 48km, Cork Airport 96km), sea (ferries from France arrive in near-by Cork) and road, Kenmare makes an ideal touring centre from which to discover the famed beauty of the rugged coastline and mountainous hinterland.
While staying in Kenmare, there are so many day trips for you to do at your own pace, here are just a few ideas, these are like a tasters of things to do, when you book one of our Holiday Homes, we give you access to more comprehensive information about all the different things to do, on a part of our site that is only accessible to our guests.

Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry
It is impossible to visit the Dingle Peninsula and not be impressed by its archaeological heritage as one combines each site’s folklore & mythology. The Dingle Peninsula’s isolated location on the edge of the known world was possibly the reason a concentration of Early Christian monastic sites were founded there.

Mat from Kenilworth (14/08/2010)
"Nice house. Stunning views. Love the deer in the garden. Owner is friendly and always available to help. We had a wonderful week and really enjoyed the nearby Gleninchiquin park - highly recommended."
Dag from Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA (08/06/2010)
"Very well designed and maintained property on lovely grounds with a great view and complete privacy.
marie from lutterworth (20/04/2010)
"Modern, spacious house. We loved design of the living areas and large bedrooms, esp. jaccuzzi bath. Situated on hillside over looking Kenmare bay and mountains the views are breath taking. Owners very helpful when travel arrangements had to be changed."
Charles from Ludlow (01/10/2009)
"A lovely house with an excellent location and a wonderful view.
Quentin from Appleton Roebuck (10/09/2009)
"This property was a class apart. The norm for holiday rental properties is to pack you in for maximum return on investment. Everything about Bun Cill Athta is the opposite, large double bedrooms with equally large en-suites and exceptionally large open plan living, dining and well fitted kitchen. Windows everywhere provide masses of light that only adds to the feeling of space. Combine this with a secluded, but not too remote, location that has well planned outside space to appreciate the stunning views and you have a winner. We would visit again and recommend to anyone without hesitation."
Patrick from Bemidji, Minnesota, 56601, USA (30/08/2009)
"The home is really nice and comfortable, good location however, was missing some of the amenities we had in the other 2 homes we rented during our trip. Other homes had: extra towels (hard to make one bath towel or hand towel last a whole week), paper towels, hairdryers, hot pads for oven use, soap for washer/dryer, regular electric coffee pot, telephone to make local calls if necessary. Also beds advertised as Kings were really only queens. Other homes did not charge extra for electricity or water, only for heating. Could use a bigger indoor rug by entry - hard to wipe feet on such a small rug. Even with all the missing comforts, it was a pleasant stay for us."
glyn from stevenage (10/06/2009)
"very relaxing place to chill out. Beautiful location, lovely town to browse shops. Owner was friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. "
Michelle from Market Rasen (02/06/2009)
"We have stayed here 2 years running now, as we loved it so much! The cottage is perfect if you want to get away from it all, yet still be close to civilisation. It is situated approx 2miles from Kenmare, a lovely town which has many restaurants bars, shops and a beautiful park. The cottage has landscaped gardens, perfect for families, and deer roam the hill and can be seen from the cottage. The cottage is very smart inside, having all mod cons such as dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, TV, DVD player etc, and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Home from home! Any problems, and the owner is easily contacted and is very friendly and helpful."
Peter from Lytham St Annes (26/03/2009)
"Exceptionally spacious and comfortable. The location was superb and provided spectacular views of the sea & mountains "
Katrina from Nottingham (15/10/2008)
"This was a really spacious and high quality property, with great views on a clear day. It was quiet and easy to relax in, not what Id call cosy, more classy and chic. There was just enough to do in Kenmare and surrounding area. Its a great small town with good pubs, restaurants and shops but easy driving distance from some lovely scenery. "
