“Really bad plumbing problems”
+the keys where left in the door no body was there to meet us until We where unpacking the car.
−The shower had no power there was obviously a plumbing issue. We where there for the world Irish dancing competition. It was myself and my ten year old son who had travelled down from Donegal. The first night was fine other than there was no water pressure especially in the shower, there was slight rattling in the pipes around the house. The problems starting the second night. The noises from the pipes became really bad. It was so bad it scared my ten year old son which resulted in neither of us sleeping the whole night. Even when the toilet was flushed the banging and rattling got worse. My son was that scared We advised the hosts the very next Morning what had happened and We booked and paid for the rest of the world Irish in a hotel costing us a significant amount of money. The hosts where at first sympathetic and said how sorry they where and that they would get a plumber in to address the situation. They also said We would be reinbursed. Considering the charge was 900 euro We expected them to refund 600 euro as We stayed two nights. We then received a text five days later to inform us that they had noticed a problem with the microwave. They then came up with a cock and bull st

“Loved it!”
+This beautiful house is near Kenmare, a lovely town with everything you might need (shops, cafes, restaurants, super market, etc.). The hosts are great. The even gave us a ride, so we could hike the killearney trail. Worth to mention the huge garden as well with direct exit to the ocean. We loved it to day here - thank!

“Little piece of paradise”
+Amazing location. You get a great view and you’re a short drive to Kenmare while on the Ring of Kerry. You can walk down to the beach from the house. Nice fish and chips a mile down the road. Would definitely rent again.
−WiFi was weak.

“Exceptional”
+Incredible location of the cottage with direct access to beach and fabulous view. The cottage is fully equipped, even with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. We enjoyed it more than expected. In addition Helen and Tom were great hosts with terrific recommendations for activities and food and drinks nearby and far. Thank you very much again.

“Beautiful house, very disapointing hosts”
+The house is very nice and located in a beautiful place very close to the sea.
−The hosts didn't answer a qustion we asked at the 2nd day (out of 5 we spent there) snd showed no interest at how we're doing. Sharp nails all over the floor in our bedroom woonded our feet and 2 socks were teared from them we wrote them about it when we left and got no answet what so ever. Generous hospitality would be to leave soap and shampoo, a bottle of watet, tea /coffee and milk, when your guests arrive late at night. Helen and Tom aren't generous. Instead of making jokes of how bad are the guests as navigators, a simple sign shows the place would be easier and nicer. There's a real problem with water preasure, shower and toilet.

“Delighted with Heron Water Cottage”
+The cottage is in a gorgeous setting, a very quiet area with access to a small beach. It is an easy short drive into Kenmare for dining or groceries. The location is perfect for exploring the Ring of Kerry. The owners live next door and offered some great suggestions for local dining and excursions. Highly recommended!
