Oak Wood House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oak Wood House.

We particularly loved the sun room. With all our time in the house spent in this room, watching the birds and other wildlife that passed through the garden. We did need another comfortable chair in this room so used the one from the snug. We couldn’t find a sharp knife or pair of scissors in the kitchen, not sure if we just didn’t find them. This didn’t really matter, as we didn’t eat in during the holiday except for breakfast. The location was perfects for the beautiful and well served town of Kenmare an ideally located for all the delights of county Kerry. We all enjoyed our stay.

Excellent house close to town with stunning views and everything we could have asked for.

Stunning location and a beautiful, well equipped property.

A few maintenance issues but would definitely stay here again and can recommend.

Nice place to stay, but no sharing with the owner we didn't see him, we think he lives close but not sure they prepare an apple pie to us, it was kind.

.. In the kitchen, not enough plates glasses and cutlery , the baking tray is broken. The house is big and the rooms are nice , many places and it is quiet place 4kms from Kenmare

This was an amazing place!

The views were beautiful. The house was very clean and well kept. I would definitely come back again.

Oak Wood house is a beautiful house on a very peaceful location.

Most of the time you only hear birds and sometimes a cow or sheep. It has everything you need. Simple things like a soapdispenser in every toilet are very nice. With a group of 4 ore max 6 there is plenty room to have some privacy if you want a moment alone. Very nice!

Thank you Mr Daly and family for sharing your beautiful home.

You have thought of everything that could be required for a stay. The location of your property is extremely desirable for those of us who enjoy the tranquility and space of the countryside, yet just a short drive to Kenmare for a little retail therapy. The Beara Ring truly does rival the Ring of Kerry, albeit on a smaller scale. Everyone we spoke to was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you again for sharing your "home" with us.

The town is not as close as stated.

The beds could be more comfortable. Wifi would be a good addition. But overall it was a lovely experience. Beautiful views and roomy accommodation. We enjoyed our stay

We loved the location of Oak Wood House which is peaceful with wonderful views.

It is a spacious property with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The beds are very comfortable, there were four sofas to stretch out on and plenty of outdoor seating too. We were pleased to be close to Kenmare which is a great little place and we received warm welcome in the shops and eating places. The boiler developed a fault the day after we arrived but the owner arranged for a plumber to fix it pretty quickly which was great. I would definitely recommend Oak Wood House.

We love staying at Oakwood House.

It’s usually a quick drive into Kenmare or the Ring of Beara.

We had such a wonderful stay.

The views were undersold and are absolutely spectacular. We can see into the valley and it's breathtaking, this was such a highlight for our stay. We loved the cozy cottage and our group of five was comfortable.

This property is not in Kenmare despite being shown as such on the Sykes website.

It is up a narrow back road south of the river. Fine if you were seeking a quiet rural location but no good if you were expecting to wander into town for a drink or meal in the evening. The property itself is spacious, bright and tastefully refurbished with a large garden and pleasant sun room. Unfortunately the kitchen equipment provided is very limited and levels of cleanliness could certainly be improved. It is also worth highlighting that there is no Wi-Fi.

There is no water at certain parts of the day The heater in the 2nd lounge isn,t working It would benifit from a second bannister for less mobile renters Needs a blind on the bedroom skylight Better info on recycling needed

We had wonderful days in this cozy cottage.

The location is fantastic for those seeking peace and a great starting point for day trips. Everything you need is available in the cottage. It is clean and everything is ready for the first fire. Shops are many available. From the organic market to the discounter, everything is easily accessible, and shopping is no problem after a day trip or an excursion. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

Beautiful location, house well equipped for kitchen facilities, everything you would need provided.

Wood basket filled for us was a nice comfort. Many thanks.

Very comfortable stay with my two small boys, husband and mum.

Lovely location with beautiful views. The house had everything we needed; cleaning supplies, towels and bedding. Ideal garden for the boys to explore and lovely patio area. I would recommend this house for a relaxing stay with all the comforts of home.

I lost my husband the week before we were to take the cottage but l decided to go anyway.

It was a wise choice as the cottage was lovely and a haven of tranquility. The views all around were beautiful and the house was very comfortable with a lovely bright sunroom where l could sit peacefully and reflect . I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday in comfort

This was a lovely cottage in the most beautiful situation ,waking up to a super view of the mountains each morning.

Plenty of room for us to spread about and very comfortable. Everything we needed for a week in this beautiful part of Ireland.

So much space, great location.

Needs more glasses (only 3 wine glasses) and a good, deep clean. The hot water didn't seem to be working (we switched on the gas boiler and it fired up but no hot water) and the fact that you can't have two showers running was a bit of a pain in the mornings. Might be useful to state that this is a rural cottage with limited water pressure. Good layout, lovely sun room and outside dining though. Comfy beds and big bedrooms.

Beautiful house in a very scenic and quiet location.

Great space to relax and explore the local area from. Kenmare is a very nice, friendly, and busy town, with plenty to do and see in the area. The house is very nice but did have a lot of spiders inside, and could have been cleaner when we arrived. Great space outside to relax, enjoy the views and for kids to play.

Oak House is fantastic, the photos on the listing do not do it justice.

It is very comfortable and well kitted out with everything you would need. Very comfy beds and several comfy sofas. A really great house in a great location. Lovely patio area with great views.

What is the point Sykes will do nothing about it anyway.

Very poor that they did not check the state of the premises they recommended.

This house is just wonderful.

It has everything you need, and has so much space inside and out. Scenery is beautiful from the picnic bench on a sunny day! Will definitely stay again.

The owner called us a couple of days prior our arrival to let us know where the key to the house was kept and also advised that the standard check in at 3 pm is now delayed by one hour due to Covid 19.

Meaning extra time for cleaning is required. When we arrived we were stunned by the view, it seemed this was exactly what we could expect for €730 for 4 nights. Our excitement was quickly replaced by disappointment the moment we entered the house. The table and kitchen counter was still dirty from previous guests, same with floors and couch which was covered with a blanket full of crumbs. Bits of food in dishwasher and mould in the fridge. I spend first hour cleaning the kitchen so we could use it. The worst part however is the terrible smell coming out of the upstairs bathroom which was out of service. I have contacted the owner about this issue and his reply was that a cleaner (?) had called a plumber the day before our arrival because there was a drip from the shower and a bad smell and that he was sorry that the smell has returned a day later after the plumber was there. Absolutely nothing has been done about it. The smell was so bad and it was coming into the whole house even through closed door and extractor fan being turned on for the whole time, we kept all windows opened during the day but nights sleeping in this terrible smell were dreadful. As mentioned on the other side the views were amazing and we loved the fire place in both living rooms. I would not return or reccommend this cottage to anyone following our experience. Not worth the money we paid whatsoever.

Lovely house.

Really cosy. Fantastic view. Highly recommend it. Bit of a trek up the mountain if walking back from kenmare with the kids.

The house location was not correct as per the listing.

The house is about 5km from where it was on the map which was not ideal for what we had planned for the weekend. The house itself was great with beautiful views.

A lovely comfortable house in a beautiful part of Ireland

Absolutely wonderful.

Peaceful and all the amenities. A short drive to town. Mr. Daly was very accommodating. Thanks again.

Lovely spacious property with great views.

Location is great as it is out in the countryside but also only a few minutes drive from all amenities.

Oakwood house was a perfect holiday getaway, the accommodation was lovely & the views amazing.

The place was very well jutted out & Kenmare town was a short drive away with plenty of facilities. I would definitely recommend this accommodation

Oakwood House was a beautiful property in a stunning location.

It was spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed. The views were spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay at Oak Wood House.

The desciption of the house and the location were bang on. It was very clean and comfortable and we loved the tea/coffee and applepie to welcome us. The owner was very friendly and hospitable. Close to lovely Kenmare, ring of Kerry/Beara and Killarney National Park. We would highly recommend staying here.

We had a great week at Oakwood.

The cottage was amazing - clean, modern and great appliances. My children (12,10 & 8) loved the garden area. The beds were very comfortable. There were quite a few midgies so take precautions! Overall a gorgeous cottage in a gorgeous location,
