Traditional Irish Cottage

NB** (Bookings available for minimum of a week Friday - Friday only. Check in 6pm - check out 10am). This Traditional Irish cottage is situated on the 'Ring of Kerry' 'Wild Atlantic Way' and the ‘Dark Sky Reserve’.

It was built in 1917, and was occupied until 1995 by a lady called Annie O''Leary, this is why it’s called 'Annie's Cottage'.
In 1997 the interior of the cottage was modified somewhat to optimise space and light and incorporate necessities such as a shower and toilet, kitchen etc. It was superbly designed and retained all the charm and character of the traditional cottage, eg beams on the ceilings downstairs & sloping ceilings upstairs.
The exterior has all its original stone.
The cottage is tastefully decorated & furnishings etc are of a very high standard.
There is central heating throughout, & electric blankets (heated) on the beds. This is for the comfort of winter visitors.
