    Beautiful studio apartment in the heart of Kenmare. Located just one minute walk from the buzz of the square, but a really quiet location. Big comfy bed and powerful shower. Bright and airy. Kitchenette has all you need, but the cafe downstairs shouldn't be missed for a fab breakfast. Ample free parking within a minutes walk. Great hosts - very responsive to any questions about the area. We'll definitely return.
