You + 3 Friends Can Rent This Place In Kerry For 3 Nights From €149.25 Per Person

Some Airbnbs are alright. Some are grand. Some are pure and utter sh*te.

And some, well, some are just out-of-this-world. This little gem in County Kerry falls smack bang into the last category.

It’s also arguably one of the best Airbnbs in Ireland, thanks to several very unique factors that you can have an aul gawk at in the guide below!

Welcome to the Skellig Rest

You’ll find the charming, 100-year-old Skellig Rest cottage nestled in an elevated position on the Ring of Kerry.

Its fine location treats those that stay here to gorgeous panoramic mountain and sea views.

Hammocks, views and a hot tub

Ridiculous views that you can enjoy from the comfort of a HOT TUB or a HAMMOCK, might I add!

Still not sold? Well, it’s also one of the best places in Europe to gaze at the stars

The Skellig Rest is located in the Dark Sky Reserve in Kerry.

Now, if you’ve never heard of the Dark Sky Reserve, then get ready to lash it onto your Irish bucket list.

This corner of Kerry was designated as Ireland’s very first International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark-Sky Association, making it the only Gold Tier Reserve in the Northern Hemisphere.

Sounds cool, but what does it mean? 

It means that on a clear night the sky in this part of Ireland is scattered with astronomical sights that you can admire with the naked eye.

You can kick back without any equipment and be treated to a show that’ll knock the breath from your lungs.

Hit play on the video above to see what I mean.
