Cuan Rúnda is located on the N70 Ring of Kerry road, just 3km outside Sneem village in the direction of Kenmare. Sneem, meaning "knot" in Irish, is called "The Knot in the Ring". It is a relaxed and romantic little village and the ideal location for guests looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It has lots of interesting shops, a wonderful selection of traditional Irish pubs with regular live music, restaurants, cafes and a 4 Star hotel. The village has a beautiful setting with its backdrop of mountains and is divided in the middle by a bridge over the falls in the Sneem River that forms the focal point in the village and provides dramatic views. Magical Oysterbed Harbour and nearby islands are only a short stroll from the house. With its seal colony, visiting dolphins and huge diversity of wildlife and vegetation, the area provides spectacular scenery and ideal opportunities for lots of activities.
You can enjoy the outdoors - hillwalking, fishing, boating, swimming, snorkelling, diving, walking and cycling, wildlife interests or perhaps just sit on the pier and absorb the peace and quiet. Many other activities are also available nearby like horse-riding, windsurfing, sea angling and sailing and golf enthusiasts can enjoy some of the finest golf courses in the world. If you are looking for a day at the beach, Derrynane is only 20 minutes away and has spectacular long sandy beaches. Derrynane House, the ancestral home of Daniel O'Connell, lawyer, politician and statesman, is an interesting place to visit.
Parknasilla Hotel and Spa, with its magnificent gardens, golf course and labyrinth of walks, is one of Europe's finest hotels and is less than 2km from the house. This nearby gem has marked pathways and tracks that wind through the hotel's extensive woodlands and islands are set amid spectacular, lush scenery.

Careful selection of colour schemes, plants and furnishings creates a welcoming, relaxing and calm atmosphere that is also fabulously vibrant and interesting.

The conservatory is adjacent to the living room and provides breathtaking views over Sneem estuary and surrounding mountains. The kitchen and dining area are to the rear of the house and look out over acres of natural landscape surrounding the house.
