Photos and Description of the County Kerry vacation cottage rental

Farm cottages near Ring of Kerry. Stunning views and seclusion. Separate accommodation in 3 cottages. Our sheep farm cottages near the Ring of Kerry are an ancient mountain settlement of cosy cottages called Barralach. This large secluded mountain farm enjoys stunning views over lake and mountain. Three of the cottages provide separate accommodation for the different elements of your party, with privacy and independence. The big dining table, the great log fire and the wood stove bring the entire group joyfully together. Our guidebooks and maps ensure you make the most of your outings. And if the weather turns inclement the great assortment of wellington boots, raincoats and extensive collections of books, videos and games will keep you going. Immersed in nature, you will delight in the mountain sheep, the hares, rabbits, weasels, birds & magically ever-changing views. You'll love our crystalline spring water. Our housekeeper may be available to provide fine meals.

Located on the Kerry Way and two miles from the Ring of Kerry, Barralach is a hill-walker’s paradise. Its own 10 acres and the thousands of surrounding acres of open hillsides provide pasture for flocks of mountain sheep and lambs. It is close to the mid-point between the great golf courses of Killarney, Tralee, Waterville and Ballybunion and is only 10 minutes from Dooks 18-hole links course. It overlooks the salmon and trout lakes and rivers of the Caragh system. The great Atlantic surfing strand of Rossbeigh and the quieter beaches of Dooks are close by. The fine restaurants and pubs of Killorglin and Glenbeigh, on the Ring of Kerry, are easily reached. Our brochure will guide you to the best eateries, and to superb and memorable activities such as horse riding on Rossbeigh strand or in Killarney National Park, visits to the Skellig and Blasket Islands, outings with the Dingle dolphin or magnificent walks on the Kerry Way.

Visitors' Book Entries 1: Extracts from Barralach's Visitors' Book follow: ***'This has to be Ireland’s best kept secret. Wow!' [London] ***'Still the most beautiful setting in the world'. [Cape Town] ***'Barralach’s wonderful situation and exceptional comfort beat all expectations. Managed to experience almost every expedition in your most helpful guide and then return to happy evenings by the fire'. [Surrey] ***'The views of Caragh Lake only improve with each visit. We had a wonderful time playing golf, hill walking, beach walking, the Skellig experience' [Dublin] ***'To our Canadian eyes this place is a dream: so beautiful, so tranquil, so rich in history. We’ve fallen in love with Barralach' [Ottawa] ***'Paradise is the only word to describe Barralach. The views, sheep and isolation of the house was so relaxing.' [Connecticut]. ***'Tom and his horses - not to be missed if you can ride - excellent gallop on the beach. Betty is a culinary genius. Clone her!' [Wales]

Visitors' Book Entries 2: Further extracts from Barralach's Visitors' Book: *** 'A place out of a fairy tale ... like stepping back in time. Loved the countryside, the views, the sound of the wind, smell of the air, taste of the local fare ... Can't wait to return.' [California] *** 'La maison, le lac, les montagnes, les moutons, les lapins, les irish coffee, et le soleil (mais oui); bref, cet endroit, si ce n'est pas le paradis, ça y ressemble!' [Garches, France]. *** 'J'aime Paris depuis 60 ans et l'Irlande depuis une semaine. Merci pour la gentillesse des Irlandaises et les Irlandais.' [Paris]

Visitors' Book Entries 3: Further extracts from Barralach's Visitors' Book *** The house and the views were just everything we had hoped for, the arrangements perfect and Betty just as helpful and as good an occasional cook as could be. The weather was mixed, but for the first time I can remember, I was almost hoping for one day completely written off by wind and rain so we could just enjoy the house, the fire and the books. We'd love to come again- maybe with more friends and family! [Norwich, England]

Other Activities: photography; landscape painting; bog vegetation lichens & natural springs; hundreds of acres for young and old, geology.
