We had everything we needed, and Gemma was great to connect with. The internet went down which made navigating & planning our day difficult, but Gemma had a fix ready by the time we returned for the day, and it worked out. All of her suggestions for places to check out were spot on. We had a short stay, but it was a good one. ##### Erin N. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Susan M. 22 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Location #### Hazardous location Unfortunately our stay was marred by trucking transfers from this remote narrow laned “ idyllic location” of harvested hay at high speed past the house day and night. We have been to Ireland numerous times and are not neophytes to driving there. This is certainly not a choice I would repeat for a stay in “Killarney”. ##### Susan M.
