We arrived after an eventful trip over via the "Vomit Comet" fast ferry from Fishguard, to find an excellent cottage set in the beautiful Irish countryside close to the lovely village of Sneem with some great pubs and restaurants. We were left a very nice welcome pack which was greatly appreciated. The cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard and we could find no faults at all ( except with the weather ). There are 2 excelent golf courses close by and another in the very nice town of Kenmare which also has some excelent restaurants and pubs. All in all this was a brilliant visit and I would highly recommend it to anyone, we can't wait to go back. |
