We enjoyed the Little Nest. Perfect for four adults (with room for more). Easy walk into Kenmare for restaurants, pubs and history, plus easy access to a day or two spent exploring the Ring of Kerry. House is well appointed, equipped kitchen, very clean, laundry, parking out front and a nice quiet neighborhood.

Great location and cozy house

This is a great spot for a visit to Kenmare and the surrounding area, including Killarney National Park. The home is clean, cozy and well located, within a short walk to the town center along a well-lit sidewalk and path in a residential area. Parking right outside the house is a real bonus!
