Recent Reviews in Dursey Island

Klondyke House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and spot to explore the Waterville area! We definitely will be back!"

Beachside holiday home in stunning location overlooking the wild Atlantic way.

10/10 Excellent

"It would be difficult to imagine a more ideal place to spend time in Kerry. Close to the beach, hiking trails, a small village with a pub and food store; and yet a feeling of privacy and isolation as well. Fresh blackberries were plentiful in the brambles around the home. A well-stocked kitchen, books and games made it feel like a home; you can tell the place is well-loved by its owners. We loved it too!"

Beautiful house Short Walk from Reenroe Beach Ballinskelligs free WiFi

Mountain Retreat situated amongst the ruins of the old miners village

10/10 Excellent

"This place was fantastic! The house itself was fabulous, the fireplace was a really lovely and romantic touch (great for honeymoon), and the surrounding ruins are really amazing to walk through, definitely check out the mountain mine shaft trail as well. The whole area is just stunning.The location is great too, just a very short ways into Allihies proper, which is a really charming village with great fish and chips and a couple really nice pubs. If you have to chance to listen to a live music night there I highly, highly recommend it. The museum is also a must see, especially since much of the history there happened on the property you’re staying on. Our host was also excellent! She was very accommodating of our arriving quite late into the evening, and had great recommendations. We absolutely loved our time here!"

"Eine wirklich schöne Unterkunft, die gut gelegen ist, um die Umgebung zu erkunden. Einziges (kleines) Manko war ein leichter muffiger Geruch. Ein Feuchtigkeitsproblem lag aber nicht vor, die Bettwäsche war in allen drei Schlafzimmern trocken, sauber und wohlriechend. Duschen mit Durchlauferhitzer funktionierte einwandfreie und direkt. Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war reibungslos und transparent."
