The house is a bit on the old side so you do hear your upstairs neighbors. If you're sleeping on the second floor just be respectful of those below. About a 15 minute drive to downtown Killarney. You can park and then walk around while you get your bearings and shake off any jet lag.

My wife and I completely enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of Anthony and Melissa O'Shea before,…read moreduring, and after our stay at Harriet's Cottage on the Dingle Peninsula. From the moment we booked our trip until we returned back home in the US, the O'Shea's were extremely helpful in giving us information and letting us know what to expect, as well as offering fantastic recommendations for places to go and food to eat during our weeklong stay. We found the cottage itself to be very comfortable and in immaculate condition with small written placards explaining some of the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the cottage and the local area. Coming from the US, it would have been much trickier renting a car, driving on the left side, finding the best places to eat and drink...heck even getting in the cottage's front door and turning on the heat would have been confusing if not for the O'Shea's incredible attention to detail and welcoming sense of hospitality. They seemed honestly as excited about our trip as we were and checked in with us from time to time during our stay to make sure everything was well and to see if we had any questions. The town of Dingle itself is a beautiful little coastal town with plenty of shops and more than enough restaurants and pubs pedaling beautiful souvenirs and serving absolutely amazing food and drink. As a self proclaimed beer-loving foodie, the high quality stouts and seafood dishes were an especial treat. Best of all, Harriet's Cottage was no more than a ten minute walk to all of the downtown and its pure Irish charm. Other than coming to and from the airport and a few day trips to the local sights, we never used our car. Speaking of local sights, a drive around the Slea Head Loop is a must when visiting. Along the way you'll find a distillery, a brewery, a little spot to hold a lamb, ancient ruins, quaint shops, and some of the most breathtaking landscape I have ever seen. My only complaint about the entire experience was that a week just wasn't enough time to experience all the Dingle Peninsula had to offer. My wife and I are already planning our next trip and you can be sure, we'll be staying a bit longer than a week next time. Not only do I recommend that everyone on the planet visit this beautiful, fun, friendly and stunning part of the world; I recommend you make the most of your visit by staying at Harriet's Cottage and experiencing some of the most welcoming and helpful hospitality you will likely ever find. Thank you Anthony, Melissa, and Harriet O'Shea for an amazing time. We can't wait to return.

I would like to thank Anthony and Mellisa for our wonderful stay in Harriet's cottage. Myself and 6…read morefriends stayed here for the Other Voices festival in Dingle. It's about a 2 min walk from Main Street- perfectly decorated and equipped with everything we needed. Anthony greeted us on arrival to ensure we settled in perfectly. A Super cosy cottage suitable for families or friends. Will be back again next year!

I am just after a great week in Kenmare Co. Kerry. We booked a cottage throught Kenmarerentals.com,…read moreat first i thought it was another one of these agencies, but it was only when I booked that i realised that all the Houses were owner by Jer Foley. Firstly we had no problem booking the house, the web site is well laid out and you can book online safely, and you get your confirmations etc, so it takes the ease out of reserving and phoning for confirmations. We booked the Ardmullen 3 bed house , there was 5 of us and it was perfect, the houses are well laid out, all modern and well finished, so it became a Home away from Home for the 2 weeks. The house is less than 10 mins walk into the town centre, so it is perfect if you fancy a pint, and easy to walk Home afterwards. We had a great time in Kenmare, it must have been 15 years since I have been in Kerry, but Kenmare was a great base, as there is plenty to do and see there. Jer was a pleasure to deal with, and even the last night he called to the house, to see was all o.k, it was a nice touch especially since he works so hard, as well as the houses he has a very busy Bar & Guesthouse in the town centre. When he called we were just talking and i said that it is a pity that we are going home tomorrow, all jer said was ' when are you back to work ' and i told him that i was back the week after, and all he said was that he did not need the house for 2 days and we were welcome to stay on, we did at no charge ( well i think we were lucky as the other guests were not arriving until 2 days later ), but it was nice, i can highly reccomend Kenmarerentals.com as there Holiday Homes / sel catering are the best we have stayed in so far. The best thing was that myself and my wife stayed until Thursday, as Jer reserved a room for us in the Guesthouse, O Donnabhains on Henry Street, really nice. With all that is happening in the Irish economy, it was jice to get a way and relax, and feel relaxed going Home. We are booked again for Chirstmas and New Years, and cant wait to get back, even now with the roads it only took us just about 4.5 hours from Dublin, so it is not the end of the world any more. treat yourself and go

We spent a lovely week at Curlew Cottage and could not have been more pleased! The love with which…read moreCarol has decorated this spacious home is obvious, as is her good taste. The beds are comfortable, the views excellent (we saw some WONDERFUL sunsets), and the house spacious enough that sounds from the sitting room and kitchen do not travel back to the bedrooms.Modern appliances, an easy to navigate kitchen, and every kind of utensil you could need made cooking meals a pleasure. And the dining area is lovely! Not that we had to cook and eat-in, mind you - there is a good variety of restaurants to choose from within a few minutes drive from Curlew Cottage. Carol has made available a comprehensive list of activities to enjoy throughout Dingle Peninsula. We particularly recommend the tour to Great Blasket Island out of Dingle - phenomenal! And the drive over the Dingle Mountains is not to be missed! Be sure to leave yourselves enough time to drive over Conor Pass if you have any kind of deadline to meet (boat trip, dinner reservation, etc) on the other side. All-in-all, staying at Curlew Cottage made for a memorable week, and we can't wait to return!
