just back from the most fab week in kenmare. we stayed in a self catering holiday home, so cant help you there unfortunately. However i would just say that during that time we did the ring of kerry and also the Beara Way - i would def recommend the beara way over the ring of kerry - found the ring very touristy and lots of people everywhere - the beara way was beautiful - found beaches/ harbours deserted and towns that were absolutely beautiful. went on a seafari in kenmare on our last day and when speaking to the captain of the boat he mentioned that the beara way was def the one to do. Can recommend it highly enough myself. Just my tuppence worth.
