Good value house in a lovely location
We had a really lovely stay in Helen’s house, which is exactly as the pictures show. The location is really good for seeing the Skellig ring and there is plenty to do. David from The Force awakens was really helpful, not just for visiting Skellig Michael but also for arranging a fishing trip for us. The house is well equipped and spacious , though the living room only really takes 5 people comfortably. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

Great location as a base to explore the Skelligs and more
Very spacious property inside and out. Easy to book, locate and park. Then able to easily explore the area including Skelligs Ring. Waterville is quite near and some of the beaches and small piers, Derrynane for example are outstanding.

Quiet Holiday
The house and communication with the owner/manager were perfect. The house itself is very spacious, we were a party of 7, everybody had enough space to relax. Kitchen is well equipped, The area itself is fantastic, when the weather permits the viwes are stunning. Plenty of walks around to do from easy to strenuous. Many thanks to Helen and Mary for their help, as this season is a little complicated due to Covid19.
