Company information

I like to welcome easy-going creative and adventurous people who will appreciate the wild natural landscape here who like conversation/appreciate nature and natural surroundings. I have a background in theatre & film + trained in Nutrition and have done my fair share of travelling so I relate well to what travellers appreciate...such as a host with tons of local insider knowledge and who is literate and articulate about the area.

Property information

Sleeps 6. Has Sky TV, Wifi, BBQ + Really suits those looking for deep peace in wild, unmanicured natural surroundings. We like to host guests mindful and respectful of its Green Leader eco-credentials. This hidden-away ecologically built hom is conveniently close to town, 5klms or 10min drive, but offers a remote, seclusion and privacy on 3 wooded acres 200 meters down a private lane of 5 houses, nestled in its own wooded 3 acres, not overlooked, away from sounds of modernity. Located on The Wild Atlantic Way, Kenmare Eco Lodge is a rather unique eco home built of industrial hemp, lime and wood. It has high spec UV windows + geothermal heating system. Expect - calm/restful ambience natural furnishings and oak floors. Expect - country lane, river flowing sounds + hill views all rooms. Expect - exploration tips par excellence - keep in touch with owner (me) a keen hill walker/former B&B host/published an heritage booklet on Kenmare/have a philosophy & literature degree and MA Arts/traveller. Enjoy the outdoor spaces, river frontage, 2 patios and grounds paths and BBQ and fire pit with logs in the shed.

Neighbourhood information

The beauty of the heritage village which offers all that the discerning visitor could want - no chains here, everything is of quality. The best location from which to explore the surrounding mountains - be that Killarney National Park (5klms from town), strolling the local empty back lanes or Kerry Way & Beara Way with over 200+kilometers walking trails. The great thing about here - there are so few people!!! A whole peninsula with just 6k people! No industrial infrastructrure. Therefore pristine landscapes. The richest part of Ireland for archaeological sites dating back to megalithic times. Several walks to these.
