Sneem (I426), Sneem, Co. Kerry

This three-bedroom detached farmhouse is a tranquil retreat surrounded by glorious Kerry countryside. Boasting mountain views and plenty of space, it's the perfect getaway for a family plus two dogs wanting outdoor activities, peace and relaxation. The interior is pleasantly decorated and brimming with colour. Bright furnishings, artwork on the walls, and homely touches add to the welcoming atmosphere. On the ground floor, a large lounge invites sociability and you can relax on the plump sofas, chat about your day, or enjoy a drink in front of the wood burner. Off from the lounge is a light and airy kitchen with a table where everyone can gather for a meal. There's also a bathroom on this floor. When bedtime beckons, head upstairs and choose between a double room, a single room and a family bedroom with a double and additional single bed. All the bedrooms are wonderfully comfortable and with nothing to disturb you, you'll be sure of a good night's sleep. Outside, let the children play with the dogs on the lawn while you relax on the garden furniture and listen to the birdsong in the trees.
