know locally as "The Huts", is situated midway between Kenmare and Waterville on
the Ring of Kerry, a 10 minute walk from the seaside. It overlooks the best pool on the
river and Ireland's highest mountain range - the McGillicuddy Reeks. As befits a fishing

outside the door. The village, which is noted for the traditional music sessions in its
many pubs, is a 5 minute walk.Local attractions: The Sneem is a spate river about 8 miles long.
