Located just a 15 minute drive from the popular tourist town of Kenmare by the sea, Ormonds View is a gorgeous homely bungalow on an acre of private land offering stunning sea views. This is a warm and welcoming home with lots of thoughtful finishes. The living room, dining room and kitchen are all open plan and offer sea views. There is also a cosy open fire to snuggle up in front of on those cooler evenings. There are three bedrooms. The master double bedroom is set at the front of the house and offers wonderful seaviews. It has an ensuite bathroom with electric shower.  The second bedroom is a double bedroom and it is also ensuite with a shower. The twin bedroom has access to the main bathroom in the house which has a bath (with no shower attachment). The house has its own fully fenced garden area. There is plenty of parking. The closest sandy beach is approximately a 45 minute drive away however there is a little beach type shingle cove within a 5 minute stroll of the house and there are many others close by. There is an abundance of shops, restaurants and pubs within a 15 minute drive in the town of Kenmare however the Lakehouse Bar (which also serves food) is within walking distance.
Very pleased with our stay at Ormonds View. A great property with tonnes of space and very quiet location.
Short drive into Kenmare was useful for shops, and lots to do within a 30-60 mins drive.
Fantastic communication from the team- made it super easy for us with any questions.
We stayed here for 8 nights and used it as an excellent base for exploring Beara, Mizen peninsulas and some of the Kerry Loop.
The home is newer, spacious and well appointed. Very close to the ocean with Kenmare and its restaurants, pubs and shops nearby (Kenmare stout quickly became a favorite OVER traditional Guinness and Beamish, btw).
The only slight critique we had would be around the comfort of the beds. That tends to be pretty individual specific and we did well on sleep so take it as you will.
Kitchen seems to have everything you'd need including a nice big island to work off of. We took advantage of the washer and dryer once or twice.
Dawros is in a great location, has plenty of room, a good view, and a large garden/lawn. We had a fantastic stay using it as our base and the communications and info provided were spot on.
One item of note for US travelers - using Irish locks (and German and . . . ) - you need to raise the handle up to while you turn the key to lock and unlock. A bit different than most North American locks.
Having done Kerry, Dingle and other points in Ireland in the past I'll add we loved seeing what Beara and Mizen had to offer which was great ocean sites (cliffs, beaches, islands to visit by ferry, boat excursions (we enjoyed Bull Rock), hikes, waterfalls, etc, etc, etc). Wonderful part of the world and the great country of Ireland. And any trip to Ireland is incomplete without pubs big and small and the music being made in them!
