    We had such a lovely stay in this charming studio apartment! The outdoor space was adorable (my partner had serious lawn envy 😂). Inside was spotless, cosy, and felt instantly welcoming. Our thoughtful hosts left homemade bakery treats, jam, and creamy Irish butter – such a delicious touch! They were incredibly friendly yet completely respected our privacy. Highly recommend for a peaceful, homely getaway.

    We loved everything - but just a couple of tips for travellers - You need a car. Not everything will be open in the local village early in the week, stop off in Tralee on the way if you plan to eat in the property to get provisions, though the Centre in Ardfert is well stocked and open until 10pm.

    Whilst I was working remotely in the mornings, my daughter came with me so we explored the local area. We felt like we didn't have enough time so will definitely return to Barrow Harbour Studio. The room was absolutely perfect for us to spend a few days together in a beautiful location. The conservatory area is small but had all we needed - fridge, microwave, hotplate etc though other than breakfast we ate out mostly. The bedroom is much larger than the photos give justice - the beds were incredibly comfortable. It was absolutely spotless. The location is breathtaking and a real highlight is the beach that is close by (Poulgorm Beach) - unfortunately we did not get a chance to swim there due to weather and hightide but if you get a chance make sure you find it. The WiFi was perfect for me to work though there is no phone cover so calls need to be on Whatsapp / Teams if you are planning to work. The host left homemade scones and blackberry jam which was lovely. I genuinely cannot understand the comments in the few negative reviews - this place is absolute perfection!

    Navigating by using the Eircode in Google Maps was feasible, but the small, winding roads to get to Sharon and Mike's house might be challenging for anyone unaccustomed to driving in Ireland.

    The studio apartment was excellent. The bedroom, bathroom and small kitchen/veranda were very well put together, well equipped, nicely decorated, comfortable. We highly recommend this lodging and would definitely stay here again if we were to visit this region again.

    Sharon and Mike (and Molly) were lovely hosts. Our stay was cosy and comfortable and included some homemade treats by Sharon. Great view from the back terrace. We took a taxi from Tralee as there is no bus route and we didn’t have a car. However it was a great walk from the apt. to Fenit and the bay and then again in the evening to a nice dinner at the nearby golf club.

    A lovely well equipped, self contained apartment by a picturesque, peaceful harbour. The hosts Sharon and Mike pay particular attention to making you feel welcome with home baked goodies. There is a detailed folder with places of interest to visit, excellent restaurants to eat at etc. They are on hand to assist with any requirements and give you privacy to enjoy a relaxing stay. Very comfortable bed and a clean modern bathroom. We loved our time at Barrow Harbour Studio apartment.

    We loved everything. We just wished there were shelves or drawers for our clothes because there were only hanging options and we didn’t have anything to hang 🙈 other than towels and rain jackets 😂

    It was perfect in every sense. We had a wonderful time and always felt safe and comfortable. The apartment was clean and decorated with lots of care to detail, from the flowers to the furniture. Sharon and Mike were wonderful hosts and their dog was just adorable and friendly. The location was great, but you need a car.

    There wasn't really anything we didn't like but a constructive suggestion might be to install a mirror opposite the gateway so you can leave without playing Russian roulette with the bonkers golfers charging past to the nearby Tralee Golf club.

    The location was so remote and yet easily accessible, it was ideal... peaceful and pretty. The accommodation is very cute and surprisingly spacious with the kitchen created in a conservatory so that the bed sitting room stays uncluttered and pretty. And finally the host, just lovely, so attentive and yet unintrusive and clearly a fabulous gardener. Wished we'd had more time and the weather to sit out and enjoy it.

    The roads aren't marked. We had to use navigation to get around, even though Sharon drew is maps. Might just be us though.

    The little apartment is so nice. The kitchen is a sun room, windows all around. The hosts were more than wonderful. They did everything possible to make our stay great. The gardens are beautiful.

    Perhaps a lighter duvet,though that is a very personal preference. Also blackout curtains would be nice.But these are only small suggestions.

    It had everything we needed & the home made brack & scones,milk,butter & raspberry jam left for us by the hosts was a lovely touch.as was the tea & coffee. WiFi was excellent and the area is lovely & quiet but excellent restaurants ,bars and cafes were easily reached.
