A wonderful place to be-Mary and Mick.
This is our second year staying in Spring-well Cottage. As before staying in this bright, airy and so very comfortable house has been so invigorating. Sitting outside and gazing down on Kenmare Harbour , at the same time listening to the birds has been like a balm to the soul. The house has been so well maintained and provides you with all the home comforts, from kitchen utensils to warm electric blankets if needed. Where the house is situated you are never far away from all the wonderful sights on the Beara Peninsula. A little gem of a place !!

So impressed
Mark and I were really impressed with our lovely house last week. It really felt like home from home. It's such a gorgeous house with views overlooking Kenmare Bay. We spent our first evening sitting outside watching the sunset. We walked to the local Bar Helen's food was lovely and Helen and the locals very friendly. House was very cosy for sitting in too. Plenty of space for 4 people. House was absolutely spotless, kitchen very well stocked even tin foil and kitchen roll. Bathrooms had plenty of fresh clean towels and showers were excellent. Check was very easy too. I will definitely be returning next year. Big thank you to the caretaker and Owner.

Excellent property. Quiet, in the middle of nowhere. Requires a car to get to. Beautiful view of the bay. Make sure to bring everything you need - the house had only a few spices. Recommend reading the guest book very carefully, as guests are required to take out the garbage on a specific day. Also, we asked about water and while there is a filtering system, the advice given to us by the property owner was to drink bottled water or boil. Not too much of an inconvenience, but something to keep in mind. We would be thrilled to stay here again! The pictures truly don't do it justice.

Great base to explore Kerry and West Cork
Our family of four really enjoyed our stay in this well equipped house. The views are absolutely spectacular and outdoor seating is provided to watch the sunset. It is a little off the beaten track but is well located to explore everything the area has to offer.

Different view every time
Springwell is a cosy clean well equipped cottage. Situated on a height with beautiful views over the Kenmare River and across to the ring of Kerry. Located on the ring of Beara with stunning drives on your doorstep. This cottage is in a remote location and is ideal for getting away from it all. Loved it!

Clean modern cottage, beautiful setting.
We stayed here for two weeks. Cottage was clean, had all mod cons and the manager, Margaret, responded to our emails very promptly. Location was great, it was quiet and we were able to explore the Beara Peninsula right down to Dursey Island. Some great hikes and walks. We were disappointed that there were no Irish TV stations but there were plenty of BBC and ITV stations.

Beautiful cottage in a very beautiful location
Clean and well equipped accommodation. Just a couple of concerns- the water has to be boiled before it can be drunk. It would have been good to know that before we got there as the shop was closed by then! Games, cd's, books are very limited. But beautiful overall.
