Reviews

Lovely location, perfect for hiking holiday. A well equipped traditional home with a wonderful view from every window. the host family provide a lovely welcome, nice warm fire on arrival, flowers, cake, and stables that make it easy to settle in. We stayed a long weekend and wished we had longer.

In October 2018 my wife and I returned to Lyreboy after having spent a week there last year. The owners, Paul and Vera were fantastic. They gave us a great irish welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. We really enjoyed our two week stay there and the owners made us feel at home. Lyreboy is a great cottage in a perfect location. We are looking forward to our next visit and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet break.

A beautiful location in the mountains of Kerry. The cottage is lovely, with flowers at the windows and the classic perfectly mowed lawn. The interior is even better; well prepared, clean and with enough equipment for all needs, including washer and dryer. The parking lot is next to the house. I think it deserves the highest marks.
