Description
Located in the heart of the town of Kenmare, Peggy Cronin’s Cottage is the ideal choice for your holiday.
The home is spacious, bright and modern in finish. The Cottage consists of three bedrooms – one double ensuite and two twin rooms. The back garden is enclosed and suitable for children. This is a three storey house and has quite a few steps throughout so perhaps not suitable for people with mobility issues.

All bed linen and towels are provided.
Electricity for heating and lighting is an extra charge and is payable in advance of your stay to Dream Ireland.
A refundable security deposit is required on check in. This is €100.00 and payable in cash to the supervisor. It is refunded on departure once there are no breakages or damages.
