This charming, two-storey cottage is set in undulating landscape peppered with hills, coves and historical sites – a convenient base for an active family or group keen to explore beautiful County Kerry. The ruins of Ballycarbery Castle stand within 400 metres of the cottage, while the town of Cahirciveen, home to shops, restaurants and traditional pubs, is just 2 miles away. The area is a haven for walkers, naturists and water sports lovers, with The White Stand beach just 2 miles away.
This period cottage is accessed from a quiet country lane that runs close to the banks of a glistening tidal inlet. It has lost none of its original character, with the exposed roof beams and traditional open hearth in the cosy lounge beautifully complementing the soft furnishings laid out across tiled flooring. The kitchen/diner next door is equally welcoming, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy hearty meals in comfort, perhaps using regional ingredients you’ve sourced in the local shops. When day turns to night, find the first bedroom on the ground floor, a welcoming double room with vibrant, floral decor. Upstairs on the first floor remain a second double bedroom and a cosy twin room, both set under the eaves, and served by the well-appointed family bathroom that completes the interior of the cottage.
If the sight of castle ruins, lush countryside and open skies appeal, then make the most of the enclosed garden outside, which has a patio area for al fresco meals and a lawned area for family games. The cottage is within a Dark-Sky Reserve, so guests can look forward to captivating starlit nights before bedtime, perhaps with a glass of something special in-hand.
