Carrig Beag - Charming 2 bed Victorian cottage

Description from the owner

Carraig Beag is an old stone cottage that has been carefully restored under our close and daily supervision, thus ensuring that the quaint character of the property did not fall victim to its stepping into the 21st century. Now featuring all modern conveniences, Carraig Beag is a cosy two-storey home with 2 bedrooms (1 double, 1 twin), bathroom, sitting room with gas fire and a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast counter and dining area.

All rooms are beautifully decorated and are cheerfully bright, with a surprising amount of natural light and high quality furnishings. Naturally, bed linen and hotel quality towels are provided for yo...ur use. Central heating keeps you snug and warm, and the gas fire can be used to create an even more comfortable atmosphere. There is satellite television in the lounge. Please note that for the benefit of all guests, this is a non-smoking house. To the front of the house is a small cottage garden, whilst at the rear, there is safe off-street parking, a patio area with furniture and a decent sized town garden.

Carraig Beg stands in Market Street, one of the historic lanes in the heart of Kenmare. It is an end house in one of the beautiful Victorian terraces that still grace the town. The quiet back street location is just a stone's throw from Kenmare's wealth of restaurants and bars. All amenities and services are close at hand but sitting in the sun in the rear garden, the hustle and bustle of the town seems light years awayRead more

Additional Location Information

Kenmare is amongst the most popular holiday destinations in Ireland. The picturesque town links the internationally famous Ring of Kerry, one of the most dramatic scenic drives in the country, with the rugged Ring of Beara, abounding with archaeological sites and spectacular views. This makes Kenmare an ideal centre for exploring the beauties of the southwest of Ireland. Not just a holiday location, Kenmare has become the new home of many nationals and non-nationals of all age groups who choose to relocate to the town, adding to the international flair which has fused effortlessly with its charmingly Irish character.

  A perfect place to stay

  Left on 12/05/2011 for a stay in May 2011
  
  

  Trip advisor helped us pick Kenmare as a place to stay in Kerry and we found Jeremy Foley's cottages on a general search of the net. We picked Carrig Beag because we wanted to be within walking distance of the town (and the pubs) and it turned out to be perfect in every way. This restored terrace has been comfortably furnished and provides roomy, quiet accommodation for 4 adults. There is a separate bathroom and an ensuite and the kitchen is well equipped. Only 100 metres to the market square of this beautiful, colourful village, there are (I think) about 6 pubs to choose from and many restaurants. In the opposite direction (about 50 metres) is an ancient stone circle and behind the house is a path leading down to "Cromwells Bridge" which crosses the rushing village stream.
  Pick up of the key is simple and enjoyable as it occurs in O'Donnabhains (which is Jeremy's pub) and instructions are provided over a pint of the finest. I cannot recommend this cottage more highly nor Kenmare as the ideal spot to explore the Ring of Kerry, the (I think more impressive) Ring of Beara or southwest Ireland generally.
