Photos and Description of this 1 bedroom holiday apartment in Derrynane - Iskeroon
Luxury studio apartment in a superb location in Derrynane, ideal for 2

Iskeroon's studio apartment offers superb accommodation in an unbeatable location, set in 4 acres of sub-tropical gardens which lead down to a private pier and the crystal clear waters of Derrynane Harbour. Derrynane and the nearby village of Caherdaniel are rightly regarded as the prettiest and most special parts of the Ring of Kerry. Iskeroon is within walking distance of a superb Blue Flag beach, Derrynane National Park and the harbour from which a boat leaves for the Skellig Islands, as well as a great pub. Iskeroon offers a superb base from which to explore the Iveragh, Beara and Dingle Peninsulas, Valentia Island and the magnificent National Park in Killarney.

'You can 'do' the Ring of Kerry a thousand times and Iskeroon will never reveal itself. Iskeroon's worldly brand of adorableness and utterly secluded seafront location ensure that it never wants for business. It's the kind of place where people have standing reservations for the same room for the same dates year after year. An hour from Kenmare, in what connoisseurs of the Ring consider the prettiest pocket of the Iveragh Peninsula....The Irish are exceptionally well traveled in their own country, and everyone I talked to who knew Iskeroon said it has the best views their land has to offer....Iskeroon is a romantic, elemental wind-tossed place that makes it easy to fall in love.' Travel and Leisure Magazine

Derrynane Harbour is located on the Ring of Kerry, between the villages of Caherdaniel and Waterville. Derrynane is best known for its National Park, its Blue Flag beach more than one mile in length and the harbour which has a watersports centre. A boat departs from Derrynane Harbour for the Skellig Islands, site of a 6th century monastery and a bird sanctuary and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Derrynane is situated near the western tip of the Iveragh Peninsula in south west Kerry. Derrynane was the home of Daniel O'Connell, known in Ireland as 'The Liberator' for winning Catholic emancipation in the mid 19th century. Caherdaniel, which lies on the Ring of Kerry, is a small, pretty village with two atmospheric pubs, and an ancient ring fort. The Kerry Way walking trail passes through Caherdaniel, and gives walkers fantastic views of Derrynane Bay, Derrynane Harbour and the Beara Peninsula.

Other Activities: Trips to the Skelligs, walking the Kerry Way, beachcombing

Golf: Waterville Golf Course is 7 miles away, and there are more than 6 golf courses within an hour's drive of Iskeroon, including Dooks near Glenbeigh, Parknasilla, the Ring of Kerry Golf club and the Kenmare Golf Club.

Notes: Iskeroon's proximity to the sea is what makes the accommodation so special, and so appealing for many of our guests. You can swim off our private pier or take the kayak and explore Derrynane Harbour and beyond - if you're lucky you might see seals, dolphins and sea otters. Fishing expeditions and trips to the Skellig Rocks, a Unesco World Heritage site, leave from Bunavalla Pier, just five minutes walk away. Many of our guests walk across the Mass Path to Derrynane to visit the National Park and the Blue Flag beach, perhaps calling in to Keating's Bar for a drink or something to eat. If you wish, you can continue walking, rejoining the Kerry Way at the top of the hill, where there are fantastic views of Derrynane Harbour, Derrynane Bay and the Kenmare River, with the Beara Peninsula in the distance and the Bull Rock on the horizon. Follow the road back down to the harbour and you will have completed one of the prettiest looped walks in Ireland.

Iskeroon a fabulous hideaway

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 22 November 2012 Date of Stay: July 2012
Iskeroon is an amazing place hidden next to the sea with great walks and views. The apartments were really well designed with an excellent finish and all the modern facilities. The owners were very helpful directing us to many of the local attractions and restaurants and they certainly went out of there way to assist when asked for guidance. We arrived in a very heavy fog and awoke the next day to some of the most beautiful ocean and country side views. Some of the attractions like the Skellig Islands were just breath taking but make sure you book early in your stay or you will miss walking to the top of the monastery. We would strongly recommend Iskeroon to family and friends.

We came across Iskeroon by chance when Googling places to stay in Ireland. If you want a place to relax and 'get away from it all', this is it! We stayed in the upstairs studio with the sea view - perfect! The scenery is stunning. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and furnished to a high standard with lovely fabrics and art work.We stayed for a week which is probably a bit longer than some guests and we cooked every evening. The kitchen is equipped with all the basics and we had no problem managing. We flew into Kerry airport and did a big supermarket shop on our way. This is a good idea as there are no very local shops and it gives you time to enjoy the local area and relax without having to think about shopping. The only thing we really needed was fresh bread which David very kindly baked for us. What service! We were a bit anxious about the last bit of the drive to Iskeroon having read the reviews on TA and the lane down is narrow but there are no sheer drops either side of the road and we managed with no problem. In spite of unprecedented level of recent rain, we managed quite a lot of walking. You do need decent waterproof footwear. The local beach at Derrynane is spectacular - reminded us of long sandy beaches along the Great Ocean Road in Australia. If it is really wet you can walk up the lane towards the main road and then follow various tracks to the left - drier underfoot and more spectacular views. There are maps and guides in the apartment but if you are a really serious walker an OS map of the area might be helpful. David and Geraldine are extremely welcoming and kind. They also have an amazing DVD collection you can borrow from if you fancy settling down to a film. It's difficult for a place to live up to the reviews that Iskeroon gets but this place does!
