Escape to this beautifully restored retreat on a rural farm near the Portmagee Channel. Accommodating six guests, this dog-friendly cottage is perfect for exploring the breathtaking landscapes of County Kerry, the Iveragh Peninsula, and Valentia Island. With a cosy open fire for chilly evenings and a mature garden for sunny days, this Irish gem is an ideal year-round getaway for families or groups of friends.

Step inside to discover spacious accommodations designed for relaxation and comfort. The heart of the home is the lounge/kitchen/diner, featuring a stone floor and wood-panelled ceiling and walls. This inviting space is perfect for cooking, dining, and unwinding together. There's also a separate lounge with soft seating and a TV, where you can gather around the open fire that’s sure to be popular with your four-legged friends. The ground floor also includes a utility room, a family bathroom, and a king-size bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find a double bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a family shower room. The garden offers a lovely lawn where children and pets can run and play to their heart’s content. Fire up the BBQ to cook fresh Irish produce and enjoy al fresco dining in the peaceful surroundings.

Located 2 miles from the coastal village of Portmagee, you'll discover shops, eateries, and boat trips to the Skellig Islands, where well-behaved hounds can join you on board, but not onto the islands themselves. For waterside walkies, beautiful Reencaheragh Beach is 3.5 miles away, and the picturesque village of Waterville on the Ring of Kerry trail is 11.5 miles from the property, where plenty of interesting sights, sounds and smells for curious canines await.
