Cottage Mary Rose is a beautiful 18th century thatched stone cottage nestling in a pastoral valley in magical County Kerry. Surrounded by its original dry stone fencing and fuscia hedge, the cottage gardens are complimented by a terrace that overlooks the rushing stream below and you can enjoy the lovely setting from the newly-installed hot tub. Inside, the cottage is charming with a rustic kitchen, aga-style cooker and Belfast sink, but it also has all of the modern amenities you will need to call it home while exploring the treasures of the southwest
This region is well known for its beautiful views of dramatic mountains, green valleys, rugged coastlines, megalithic sites and rural charm. The popular nearby towns of Killarney and Tralee are filled with festive stores for shopping and pubs and restaurants for dining or snacking. One of the most scenic drives in all of Ireland, called the "Ring of Kerry", starts twelve miles away from the cottage. The mountains that make up the ring and others can be viewed from the cottage, which nestles in a rural valley.
This area is superb for walking and taking in fresh air, views of local people and places, interesting ruins, stone walls and flora and fauna of all kinds. 5 minutes from the cottage is Castleisland, a small but bustling town with grocery stores, souvenir shops, pharmacies, and a large general store that stocks everything you will need. The town's Main Street is the 2nd widest street in Ireland but Castleisland's main claim to fame is the Crag Cave, which was discovered in 1984. It is a phenomenal place to explore the wonders that lie beneath Ireland's green surface. After a tour through the cave, enjoy the restaurant, or explore the souvenir/gift shop, which is filled with Irish-made products and mementos.
There is a new pub called Hughes Pub which is within walking distance of the cottage. A Catholic Church is also within walking distance.
