We had a wonderful stay at this cottage overlooking Caragh Lake. The view is absolutely spectacular, and the cottage itself is spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped, the kitchen had everything we needed. Everything was spotless on arrival, and the beds were very comfortable, which made for a very relaxing stay. The location is wonderfullRead morey peaceful, tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac and surrounded by pure nature, a perfect place to truly switch off and enjoy the beauty of the area. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a stunning setting. Big thanks to Teresa, Jeremy and Michael Hide

Great location if you like amazing views and you are not planning to go to the town 4 times a day. The trip from and to the house was 10 minutes long until first wide enough road, but this is the price to pay for such amazing views and peacefulness. Our host were very respectful, and were only accesible when you need them. But in fact we didn't neeRead mored any help, the house has everything you can need to stay, cook, sleep, etc. The great windows allowed awesome views from the kitchen and the sitting room like you were on the garden. If you like the countryside and you drive well on the left and in narrow roads, choose it. But if you plan multiple trips per day, think twice. But I would repeat without doubt. House has everything you can need in the kitchen, decent wifi, heating, many blankets, TV with hundreds of channels, a nice garden you can enjoy a lot in sunny days if any .We went on september, so weather could be better, but in July, august you can enjoy the garden a lot for sure. In fact, at 5 minutes there are different lakes where maybe you can swim if you like cold water, ang going by walk. Thanks a lot Teresa and company! Hide

Super helpful and friendly host. Cottage allocation was amazing with spectacular views. Very quiet as at the end of a long single track road which is not for the faint hearted but worth it. Kerry is a really beautiful area to visit.

Stunning location, roomy, well equipped cottage and friendly but unobtrusive hosts. Plenty of outside space and thoughtfully placed garden furniture. We enjoyed the incredible peace and serenity of our surroundings. It was lovely to see cows sheep and rabbits in the pastoral setting. A perfect base from which to explore Kerry and Dingle.

We loved our stay in Oulagh West cottage. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need even things to bake which I loved it! The views are amazing and you can't get enough looking outside the window. Jeremy and family are lovely hosts and we will certainly come back again

The setting and view from the cottage is nothing short of magnificent. Although the drive to the cottage might be somewhat daunting to those uninitiated to Irish roadways, the property itself makes it well worth it. After a few trips to and from the cottage the drive isn't as challenging as it initially appears. The property is so private and quietRead more and relaxing. Even though it is seemingly remote it has cable television and WiFi and is actually centrally located to Killarney, Killorglin and Cahersiveen. The owners live next door and are very friendly and kind but not at all obtrusive. All in all it was a wonderful and fulfilling experience and I recommend it highly. Hide
