Home description
This recently completed luxury holiday home situated on Rossmore Island County Kerry, is in a particularly beautiful part of the" kingdom" as it is called in Ireland. It's between the busy and attractive market town of Kenmare and the idyllic colourful village of Sneem.
Rossmore Island, if you look at a map, appears approximately half way down the Kenmare River.
This stunning coastal location looks over Coonagh Bay and up into the mountains, and has a 360 degree view that constantly changes with the unique light that Co Kerry produces. Access to Rossmore Island is over a stone bridge and once you are on the Island you can immediately feel the relaxing atmosphere of Kerry take over. Don't be put off by the term 'river' as the Kenmare river is 100% seawater and opens up into the magnificent Atlantic ocean.
