Direen

Three Star

Direen, Derreenfiniehid, Greenane, Killarney/Kenmare, Kerry Show on a map

A fine detached cottage much praised by booking guests. It is well equipped and recently refurbished while retaining its charm.
In a splendid location, Direen overlooks the Slieve Duff valley toward the Cahir Mountains. Tranquil and rural it is not isolated. Set in its own large secluded landscaped gardens, with a sunny aspect, it is slightly elevated in a relatively level position. There is an ample parking and turning area and the home is illuminated on all sides.
Located on the Sneem Road adjacent to the Kerry Ring, the surrounding contrasting scenery is truly beautiful.
