Just wonderful
We enjoyed staying at Jane's place immensely! The apartment is very cosy, comfortable and furnished with a love for details. It has wonderful views from the windows and is a very special place to calm down, relax and just enjoy being there. Jane is a very friendly, supportive host and we enjoyed talking to her very much. We can just recommend this place wholeheartedly. Thank you again, Jane! :)

Warm, loving and magical
We had a very exhausting journey to Kerry, but the warm welcome from our host Jane, enriched by lovely gifts, made the stress disappear at once. The apartment, house and property are designed with great attention to detail, so we immediately felt very comfortable. Together with the location overlooking the bay, the place unfolds a fairytale magic. We are still thrilled! Thank you so much Jane for the wonderful time we were able to spend in your house!

A lovely stay!!
This was a lovely, quiet place to stay while exploring this area!! Jane was incredibly helpful and nice (and she made bread!!), and her dog, Oscar, is basically my best friend now! Outside of town, so it's very peaceful. But, also, close enough to easily drive for dinner at night. I'd definitely stay here again if return to the nexl of Ireland!

A gem!
We feel like we found a hidden gem. We weren’t sure what to expect but were delighted with an unexpected wonderful experience. We loved the full kitchen, beautifully tiled and sky lighted bathroom, the comfy places to sit in the bedroom, the beautiful views, the very kind and helpful host, the nearby hiking on the Kerry Way and many other trails, the places to eat, and the beautiful Kerry Cliffs. We are already planning a return visit. We just left yesterday and I have already recommended it to a number of people. This is a great place for any wanting a cozy getaway for time to enjoy the indoor and outdoor wonders of this Ireland haven.

A banquet of beauty and peace
The views from the property are stunning. The flowers and scent in the garden is stop you in your tracks gorgeous.We walked, swam and took a boat trip out in the Atlantic. Jane, our host was exceptionally hospitable and baked exquisite croissants.The weather was sunny everyday with clear cloudless blue skies. We had a wonderful week which really revitalised us. In particular, Jane was a wonderful host, providing her own bread to tide us over on arrival (delicious) and a cheery greeting each morning. Her lovely dog Oscar, still a puppy but rather large. wanted to steal the show and was a delight. He couldn’t compete with the croissants, though, which were the best we’ve ever tasted.

Great location and very comfortable
Jane was a great source of tips for exploring the beautiful Kerry ring. The flat was very comfortable with great views from the good sized bedroom. It has everything you need and a little outside seating area in a small walled garden. It was a great place to explore from with so much to do and see. We hope to come again soon. Thank you Jane! Your bread and croissants were wonderful!

Perfect place for a relaxed holiday
Again, we had a great time in this lovely and very cozy little apartment. Perfect place to forget about your everyday life and a good starting point to explore the fabulous surroundings of the Ring of Kerry.

A hidden gem
I would highly recommend Jane’s place. It was in a great location with beautiful secluded beaches just around the corner. The apartment was very cosy with great views from the bedroom window. Jane is a great host and made delicious brown bread and jam for us. Would also recommend her croissants. Thanks Jane

West Cove delights..
We couldn't rate it highly enough, the care and attention to detail was everywhere, making the loft apartment super cosy and comfortable. The perches & views are tremendous and everchanging and whilst the surrounding area is already beautiful, Jane's creative touches inside the apartment made it even nicer to view outside on a soft wet day or to come back to when soaking. & as for the almond croissants or the marmalade... YUMMY bought a supply home.
