Photos and Description of the County Kerry vacation cottage rental Relaxing Holiday Destination with fantastic sea views

This property has been tastefully furnished with great love to detail and offers a luxurious and peaceful holiday accomodation. The cottage is an ideal destination for 2 people and honeymoon couples.

Loved the solar lodge

Samy j Loughborough, England
Review Submitted: October 7, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed in the solar lodge for 1 week in August & were really pleased with the lodge & it's surroundings. Doris & Tim were so friendly & helpful we really felt at home. The lodge is spacious & clean & modern but cosy too. The beach was also not far & we really enjoyed having lazy days walking along the beach. The view from the lodge is fantastic, you can see for miles. If we return to Ireland we would definately stay here again.

Midsummer in Kerry

Fuscia Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Review Submitted: June 26, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Beautiful, comfortable, clean accomodation - very well designed, spacious & warm, & facilities are excellent. Stunning views & lovely sheltered garden with hammock. Tim & Doris are wonderful hosts & provided helpful information & advice for visits,resturants & trips etc. The local resturants, outdoor activites, & arts/music were all fantastic depending on your preferences. Local people were very friendly & helpful. Nothing we disliked at all! We found so much to do, that 2 weeks were not enough. The only 'bummer' was we had to come home! We would certainly recommend this property to friends & are planning to visit again in the autumn.

Great place for a romantic get away

DavidandChristine Perth, Western Australia
Review Submitted: June 17, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Solar Lodge is certainly well away from the hustle and bustle, and this is just what we were looking for. The stunning views and very stylish and comfortable furnishings meant we had a nice time just relaxing in the cottage. However, there is plenty to do in the area and in spite of bad weather we had a great week getting out and seeing the sights of Kerry. The fully appointed kitchen meant we could self cater in style and as such the holiday was fairly inexpensive in comparison to staying in B&Bs and having to eat out every night. Tim and Doris are very congenial hosts and we loved the fascinating paintings that Tim has decorated the cottage with. Solar Lodge is thoroughly recommended (but the weather is out of their control!)

Solar Lodge

Colin C County Dublin, Ireland
Review Submitted: June 3, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We lost no time in locating the Solar Lodge as the directions provided were excellent. We were warmly welcomed and shown around the property and gardens and were immediately impressed with the quality of the accommodation - comfortable; functional and stylish. The views from the Lodge are breathtaking - rolling countryside, mountains and the sea.
Situated in Ballinskelligs Solar Lodge is ideal as an escape fom the "rat race" and to recharge the batteries - although I did find the WIFI internet access very useful.
Despsite its out of the way location we found the property to be a very useful base to explore the Iveragh Peninsula - the drive to Kenmare is beautiful and we got to the National Park in Killarney in just under an hour. Portmagee and Valentia Island are practically on your doorstep and Cahersiveen is about 20 minutes away with plenty of shops to stock up on all the essentials you will need for your stay.
Overall we rate the Solar Lodge as excellent and we hope to return soon.

Comfort and style in a scenic country retreat

ember Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I found the Solar Lodge to be exactly what I had hoped it to be: a quiet place to escape from the rat race, but at the same time, a place with all the comforts one looks for in a holiday spot. The lodge is situated on a hill overlooking the beautiful scenery of a bay of islands, and is surrounded by lush rolling hills. The accommodations are modern, stylish, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable. I found Tim and Doris, the knowledgeable and amiable hosts who live next door, to be extremely helpful while at the same time allowing me lots of privacy when I wanted it. Tim is an artist and has his studio in their home (and his beautiful art decorates the walls of the lodge). The garden is a lovely spot to sit and read. There is lots to see and do in the area if you want to explore. I spent hours walking and beachcombing within a few minutes' drive of the cottage (or a hefty hike). They also have a couple of other rental properties in the area that are larger and equally stylish and comfortable, if you need more room. I have already recommended the spot to a number of friends in Canada.
