  • "We stayed here for two weeks and couldn't fault the place as it has everything that we needed or wanted as we was a party of 6 and still had lots of room with the en suites and the family bathroom."

    its in an ideal location as you have shops just long the road if in need of food or travel into town for more shops. There's plenty of things to do or just a drive if you just want to go sight seeing with all the Southern Ireland has to offer. The owner was always just a phone call away if we needed anything and even gave us some more fuel for the open fire in the front room. Loved it here and will be booking again for the next time we come over.

  • "The directions to find the property were poor and didnt show on the sat nav."

    We eventually found a more direct route which could have been mentioned but spent over 2hrs searching. The upstairs floors creaked badly. We had to mend the bathroom toilet lid which we found broken. The bathroom shower was poor. The most disrespectful part was the owners unexpectantly charging for electric use at the end of stay which was not mentioned on or before arrival. We were there only 5days never had the heat on and charged €45 . Having holidayed in Ireland both north and south for several years I have never been asked for extra utility payments.

    As everyone can see these comments are very unfair, this was a party of 6 adults males on large motor bikes, they were supplied with eircode like all guests,oil and electric are extra as clearly stated and saying i was disrespecful is silly and if there was a toilet seat to be fixed I was available timber floors can be squeaky especially when a large group of men are using and may i also mention the house was very untidy and needed a good cleaning.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Fern View."

    The house is very well equipped, very comfortable and offers tranquility and fantatstic views, while in close proximity to lots of activities and fantastic places. It is very spacious. The only downsides we could find were the squeaky floorboards (which cannot be changed) and the beds in the downstairs twin room, which were really uncomfortable. But the (very nice!) owners said they were thinking about replacing them. I would definitely recommend Fern View!

    The house itself was fantastic, easily accommodating the six of us, it was really clean and spacious throughout and in a brilliant location. It was ideally located to do most if not all Kerry’s most popular attractions and routes. Owners were very friendly and accommodating, if and when we come back this way I would most likely look to stay here again. Ian

  • "Beautiful spacious house in a fabulous location close to the Gap of Dunloe, ideal for touring, hiking, cycling etc."

    (approx 20 min walk to local shop, pub/restaurant approx 3.5 miles away & Killarney short drive in car) everything was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with all you could need. We particularly liked sitting in the conservatory with the amazing view of the mountains and even had a deer wander into our garden from a nearby wood. Brian was very friendly and helpful and we can’t wait to return to Fern View house next time in Kerry…’highly recommended’!!!

  • "First the house looked amazing standing in its own immaculate garden."

    Inside, it was beautifully clean and was very well equipped. We were very comfortable there and felt at home and made good use of the lovely kitchen. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the conservatory where we could view the stunning mountain scenery that wraps around this area. The owner Brian who we spoke to on the phone was really lovely and helpful. This is a great base to tour the region, there’s so much to see and do. We would not hesitate to recommend this holiday property and we will be returning.

    Definitely the best house we have stayed in our many visits to Kerry over the years.

    It's a great location for visiting sights around Kellarney or heading to the coast on the peninsulas. The views of the mountains near the house were beautiful and ever changing with the weather - we were lucky to have mainly dry days! The house is spacious and well equipped - lots of space for 2 little ones to run around and lovely to sit admiring the views in either the lounge or conservatory. Thank you

    There are some fantastic mountain drive routes but take it easy on the narrow country roads where you will come across humans walking and cycling and animals grazing. The weather was great when we visited which made our Carrauntoohil climb even more rewarding.
