The house is beautiful, but the setting overlooking the valley and lake is the real star. This was the perfect place to unwind in between sightseeing.

Beautiful house, well equipped, great comfy beds, very clean. Definitely recommend!

This property is well-appointed, well-kept, and well worth learning to navigate the very narrow country lane to get there. We stayed for one week. A few days of our stay we would just drive each morning to the delightful village of Killorglin and do our daily shopping -- butcher shop, grocery store, bakery/coffee shop -- and spend the day cooking and relaxing in the solitude with sweeping vistas to Lake Caragh and the Ring of Dingle. Note: Traffic can he horrible! :-) Sometimes the sheep decide to escape their meadows and walk along the road or take naps on the warm asphalt. They are gracious enough to leave when you approach, though. We also saw wild goats (about 25-30 of them) and a few wild rabbits. Day trips from this location are easy -- and it's so nice to return to this utterly peaceful property. Indeed, there were times we thought there was something wrong with our hearing because of the absolute silence: no wind, no birdcalls, no bugs buzzing around -- just the sun peeking out of the clouds and lighting up the heather-clad hills. We truly enjoyed this property -- a "must" if you are trying to get away from it all.

Location is a slice of heaven - a car is a must! This stunning property is equipped with all you need for an off grid break. Sheep and bunnies visit daily and the views are sensational. Only downside is the amount of flies inside the property - we tried to deal with this daily but we kept losing the battle and this was a little soul destroying. Perhaps the property would benefit from a full deep clean on a more regular basis. On the whole, we can’t wait to come back!

We had an exceptional stay with our 5 children in Theo's house. This accommodation is wonderful. It is very spacious, very clean and very well equipped. The view is breathtaking. Theo is very pleasant and responsive. Thank you for everything !

Our family really enjoyed our short stay at Jamesey's Cottage. The views at the cottage brought tears to my eyes as we pulled up to the property! The location was very private and secluded - we didn't see anything but sheep and rabbits while there! You are still a short drive from the town of Killorglin, for anything you may need for your stay. The house itself is absolutely beautiful! All bedrooms have ensuites and the main living area was very comfortable. Theo even supplied plenty of wood for our stay, much appreciated! Communication with Theo was excellent while staying at the cottage. Unfortunately, we had rain 2 out of our 3 days while there! We would love to return to Jamesey's Cottage on our next trip to Ireland!

Beautiful spot just a bit ways on the main road!

Our family spent a week at the cottage for my daughter’s graduation celebration. Absolutely beautiful location with a breathtaking view! Road to the cottage is narrow and was taken slowly; incredible landscape and lots to see along the way! Communication with the hosts was great; appreciated their responsiveness!! Would highly recommend for a stay and hoping to get back some day for another visit!!

Spectacular !!!! We were in Ireland for my daughters wedding and stayed here. The cottage was perfect and a lot larger than we thought. The views are incredible! I'm not much of a hiker/walker but I found myself walking and enjoying the Irish country side. Theo was the perfect host. Although the drive is a little daring, the end result is so worth it! I would HIGHLY recommend this Irish Cottage to anyone that really wants to get away and enjoy the true beauty of Ireland, Thanks Theo for being a part of our families wonderful trip and making our daughters destination wedding so special.

Myself and 7 friends had an amazing stay at Theo and Clodagh’s property. Spacious and quiet with amazing views over the lake. The facilities were all great quality and communication very easy. Not far from loads of different attractions and lovely pubs. Well be back again!

Brilliant place to stay. 50th birthday celebrations with old mountaineering friends and their families. The house was perfect. A great base for the mountains...with some wild swimming as well. Thanks Theo. Your house is fantastic.

We had a wonderful stay in this exceptionally well appointed and clean cottage with spectacular views across Kerry towards Dingle. As always our stay was too short but enjoyed every minute

Spectacular views and a wonderful, relaxing place to return after a day of touring. Great seating inside and out.

We had an amazing stay here, the location is breathtaking. The house was a great size with plenty of room for a large group. There was also a generous amount of cutlery and crockery. I would recommend getting a rotary clothes line as the one drying rack was not enough for our numbers. The house is off the beaten track so a car is needed but that is part of the attraction. We would definitely recommend it.

Superb property with everything you could possibly need Location is slightly remote but this added to the whole experience as the views were breathtaking All in all my family and I had a fabulous time and would definitely go back again The owners go out of their way to ensure this

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house! The views and location were absolutely perfect! Since we used to live in Ireland, we had no problem with the narrow lanes getting to the house, but be advised, if it’s your first time, you’ll want to drive carefully. But the house and views are absolutely worth it! The homeowner, Theo, was also very kind and nice to deal with as well.

Fantastic location and beautiful property. Well laid out for extended family. Beautiful views from every window.

We’ve had the most amazing break in this beautiful spacious cottage. Very clean and well kept. Surrounded by the most stunning scenery and breathtaking views. Although the cottage is very remote it is worth it for the spectacular location. The outside area around the cottage is ideal for young family’s.

The property was fantastic and the communication with the hosts was great. Detailed instructions for everything so everything went off without a hitch. Enjoyed being away and relaxing at night with the splendid views. Was close enough to enjoy everything in Kenmare/Killorglin/Killarney and the Ring of Kerry. I want to go back!

A fabulous, well designed & equipped house, with a beautifully planted garden in an outstanding setting high up above Caragh Lake. Very peaceful , not a sound to be heard, just the passing rabbits & sheep! We had a truly wonderful time entertaining our family & friends in this lovely, comfortable house. Pre dinner drinks by the fire pit with the beautiful 360 degree views made for a perfect start to a nights entertainment. Good weather, walks, lots of golf & excellent food after at Dooks Golf club (due to their French chef & super staff), made this a very successful two week staycation. We would definitely book again.

We just came back from a great week in Jamesey's Cottage and I have no hesitation in recommending it to others. The house is large, tastefully decorated and well equipped. The grounds are substantial, well maintained and with incredible views over Caragh Lake. We had a great time visiting Killorglin, Valentia Island, Inch Beach and the lakes of Killarney.

Jamesey’s cottage has an amazing location above Caragh Lake, 15-20 min country drive to Glenbeigh & Killorglin with shops and restaurants. Well appointed and very spacious with plenty of room for a large family indoors and in the garden. Quiet location with only the sheep, deer and rabbits for neighbours!

Property is stunning and very well equipped for families. Location is great (middle of no where!)Great sized bedrooms and living area. Would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful house to stay in. Do your shopping on route. The drive is not for the faint hearted, lots of steep hills so the scenary is amazing but well worth the drive. Loved the american fridge, open fire, comfy beds and sofas. Highly recommended.

Had a great stay in Jamseys Cottage - plenty to see and do on the peninsula. The house is in a great location overlooking the lake. Very peaceful. We all loved it.

We had an amazing week in Jamesey's Cottage, Kerry. After a 4 hour drive to see the house appear below us from the hilltop was breathtaking. I only wish I had a video of that moment to record the gasps from my fellow travellers. Directions spot on. Cottage was spotless. Books, Games and outside facilities were excellent and used every night. 15 min Drive through amazing scenery to Rossbeigh Beach and then onto the Ring of Kerry. Would recommend this property to both young and old and would easily cater for 10 - 12 guests. Killorglin has fabulous restaurants but we ate / BBQ'd at house 5 of the 7 nights. Weather was amazing but even when it changed and rained the house is big enough to cater for in-door activities. 5

Cottage and surrounding scenery are just breathtaking, very peaceful and locals were very welcoming. Stunning trip away.

Our overall impression of this property is excellent! The written instructions we very detailed, they included the check-in process (which was seamless). Even though we were only two people (we like space) this is a perfect size house for a big family or two small families travelling together. There are 2 kids rooms just past the kitchen (behind a door that helps block the noise from late-staying adults) and the upstairs loft as well (which itself has another bedroom for the "older" kids to be able to be able to stay out from underfoot while still in the house) The sound system is excellent and include a Bluetooth connection so you can stream from your phone.

This large house was perfect for a large family get-together: excellent living/dining area, big benefit of the upstairs games room, kitchen well kitted out. Large garden with walks possible from the house itself. It's at the end of a long, winding road - fine in August, more challenging in winter. Good base for lots of Kerry touring, walking, water sports, all of the tourism opportunities on offer.

We had a lovely stay - the house is beautiful and the property is truly breathtaking.
