Rusheens Cottage. Charming comfortable cottage with sauna in peaceful valley.

Overall an excellent stay, Markus took very good care of us and we received a warm welcome so many thanks ! The chalet is very confortable and has everything we need. The place is very peaceful and near many beautiful sites !

Our family had the most fantastic holiday, staying in Rusheens. Markus and Dhara are wonderful hosts, and the property is both comfortable and conveniently located near Kenmare, which allowed us explore various parts of Killarney National Park, Dingle, Derrynane and beyond. The sauna was a wonderful way to relax in the evenings. The kitchen was very well equipped and surpassed our expectation and made food prep for meals and picnics easy. I would highly recommend Rusheens, and we hope to return.

The best host and location when in Kenmare. We so enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage hidden in the quiet hills outside Kenmare but a quick ride into this quaint village that had it all. Great shops excellent foods and the kindest people in Ireland. Highly recommend those hidden gem. We'll miss our morning visits from Jess the head of the operation and their dog. Simply the best place I've stayed while in Ireland.

We absolutely loved our stay at Rusheens, a lovely cottage with privacy and comfort in a most beautiful setting. Dara and Markus were warm and informative hosts, just the best. The town of Kenmare was a sweet surprise, with some great places to eat and see, among them Reenagross Park. Kenmare afforded us access to 3 peninsulas as well as Killarney National Park and many other sights. It was always a treat to return home at the end of a long day to the wagging tail of their sweet dog, Jess! We recommend Rusheens without hesitation!

We couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to stay on our first trip to Ireland. Secluded and stunning location yet close to Kenmare for easy trips in and beyond. Hosts are generously welcoming and care for the property with love.

Owner provided detailed directions from main road . Cottage had everything we needed. The town of Kenmare is beautiful with lots of shops , pubs and restaurants.

My son and I very much enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very comfortable and clean. The location is just outside of Kenmare, up a winding road that is in very good condition. The directions to the cottage were easy to find, look for the blue bicycle! Marcus, the host, is a warm and caring fellow. The cottage is on his property, between his home and his artist studio, but extremely private with its own, separate driveway. The location is very peaceful with views of forest and the hills in the distance. I will stay there again, which is the highest compliment! Kim S. Seattle, WA

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

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.

It was always so nice to come home to this lovely cottage after a long day sightseeing!
