Epitome of an Ireland Stay
Hard to describe what an amazing place this was to stay at, and how much of an impact the property itself has had on our overall trip to Ireland. The location is perfect, with downtown Kenmare only a few minutes from the house. The surrounding area is so beautiful, it’s exactly what we had hoped for to get a real feel of what Ireland is all about. The host Markus was incredibly easy to talk with and so accommodating to us as well. The cottage had everything we could possibly need, but even more so, it had such a warm, peaceful vibe. It’s easy to see the owners have put a lot of effort and thought into making this a one of a kind, very special place. My girlfriend and I had romantic nights by the fire, a wonderful ambient kitchen to cook in, and a sauna to relax in after our daily ventures around the area! To top it off, the owners dog Jess (such a great dog), would come and visit often, much to our delight, to share some love, and help us with missing our beloved animal back home! The place was perfect, that’s not even a good enough adjective to describe it. It made the setting for my proposal so special to my now finance and me! We will be back any and every time we visit Ireland again! Thank you for all the memories Rusheen’s Cottage, you will live in our hearts forever. ~ Marc & Michele

Very private compact house - convenient to Kenmare
The house is perfect as a starting point to visit Kenmare, Cork, and 3 of Ireland's beautiful peninsulas in the south west. The kitchen is well stocked with all the needed utensils. Both hosts are delightful and we saw them only when we needed. The house was perfect for us 3 adults but might be a bit crowded if there were more. Very private parking area and entrance. Lots of light and cheery.

Excellent cottage -lovely hosts , perfect location, very cosy cottage
We cannot recommend Rusheen cottage enough. The cottage is located 8 minutes from Kenmare , in a remote and peaceful area with beautiful view on the mountain ( and sound of waterfall/ river nearby ) that is very convenient to visit Ring of Kerry, Beara Peninsula , Killarney National Park ... . The cottage was spotless and has all the amenities that you can need- and much more , the sauna was amazing ! and the kitchen is well equipped - but what we really appreciated is all the little attention around the cottage to make you feel at home ( lots of books , board games, information about the places to visit ..) . The hosts could not be more helpful and friendly, the communication before our arrival was excellent ( with detailed directions so you cannot be lost ) and we have been delighted to meet such lovely people. This is the perfect place for a relaxing week and to recharge your batteries . Thank you again for everything .

Country solitude
The property listing is misleading ..it is off the main road high in the hills(15min) one lane road .. very hard to find at night.. also we had to pay extra for gas which in the listing was not mentioned.. a surprise...but all in all it was a nice place for peace and quiet.. don’t think they rent very often.. I wouldn’t stay there again

Beautiful cottage just outside of town.
We had a great time at Rusheens Cottage. Marcus was a great host and gave us a thorough introduction to how everything operates in the cottage. Cottage was spotless and kitchen was fully equipped. Terrific spot close to Kenmare, Killarney National Park, Ring of Kerry, Ring of Berra, and the Dingle Peninsula. Cottage was up a hill in the woods with mature trees and fields yet close to town. Had a great time in a lovely cottage with terrific hosts.

Great cottage
Rusheens cottage was fabulous. A lovely quiet area nestled in the mountains yet only a few km from Kenmare town. Dhara and Markus were so welcoming and helpful, provided us with lots of information about the area and great tips about places to eat and things to do in the area. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and very charming. Would definately recommend this cottage and we will book again next time we are in Kenmare. 10/10
