The house is in beautiful nature. The view of the livingroom is stunning. Kenmare is a cute town and a perfect base to see many places. The house is big enough for a family with teenagers who need their space. ##### Sabine K.

Stayed 13 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Maureen O. 24 Jun 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy We were greeted by an awful smell of drains. Martin went and bought some plug in air fresheners which masked the smell but certainly didn’t cure it. The view is spectacular and having sheep and deer in the garden was wonderful but that is about the end of the positives. There is no maintenance done to the house and it isn’t very inviting at all. It needs a good clean, we had just three dinner plates in the cupboard in a house that sleeps six! The baking trays were disgusting and the frying pans had loose handles. Martin did buy two new ones and provided more plates. There is an old wooden toilet seat in the bathroom and an odd wooden mat. One of the windows are badly blown, the ceilings have got damp stains and one of the pictures has dropped out of its surround. I don’t think they look at the place any more, they can’t do or they wouldn’t present the house like it. It is the most expensive house we’ve ever rented and by far the worst. I wouldn’t recommend this house to anyone. ![Disgusting.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0dd639dd-9308-453e-a8c8-c0a6ff5bbede-1750788164193.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Very old and tatty, cutlery tray was full of crumbs too.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47dd1d8e-0ee4-4c7d-a743-8c4c745ab3d3-1750788164175.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Work top old and damaged.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1561e811-e291-4d49-9b7a-ba33cf76c51c-1750788163908.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Why is this not sorted?](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75d30a37-5fce-454f-90c8-d02f154d340f-1750788166131.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maureen O. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia O. 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house; amazing views; surrounded by nature We had a wonderful stay in this lovely spacious and comfortable house with the most spectacular views. I knew to expect great views from the photos and reviews but it is even more amazing in real life. We just stared out the window for the first few hours (lol), looking across the bay at the mountains stretching out for miles and watching the little birds fly up the window. Martin was a great host right from our initial communication and he gave us lots of tips, local knowledge and places to visit that we might not have found in a guide book. We had 2 teenagers who enjoyed the fact that there was lots of space and different rooms to relax in. One of the boys also enjoyed the football pitch and climbing/exploring the mountain to the back of the house. The house is well equipped and we liked the clarity around recycling and the simple processes in place. The beds were clean and comfortable and it was nice to light the fire on some of the cooler nights we had. The lane up to the house is a journey in itself - but a wonderful journey and you do get used to it - you do also get rewarded when you spot a family of deer or a bird of prey and you can stop to buy fresh eggs from the honesty box on the way up. It really is a wonderful setting and if you enjoy nature and solitude and don't mind being a bit remote this is the place for you. We would love to return, and our dog would too - very dog friendly! ##### Patricia O.

Die Lage des Hauses ist hervorragend, viel Platz, eine tolle Aussicht und mitten in der Natur. Man hat alles was man braucht. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind ebenfalls in der Nähe, aber nicht fußläufig erreichbar. Das einzige was uns wirklich gestört hat waren die unsauberen Fenster, sowie die Decke in der Galerie, welche mit unzähligen Spinnennetzen überzogen war. Beides wurde offensichtlich seit Jahren nicht mehr geputzt. Auch die Möbel sind schon ziemlich abgewohnt und sollten über kurz oder lang erneuert werden. Ich hoffe die Bewertung ist nicht zu negativ geworden. ##### Martin D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christin S. 25 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wunderschöner Ausblick Martin ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.
