The cottage is serviced by oil heating, a traditional open fire, septic tank, soakaway, and a private water connection. 

It is located on a 0.6-acre parcel of land and is roughly 25km from the Kerry town of Killorglin. 

It is also located close to the Stepping Stone B&B and the Cooky Cafe, which are popular destinations for walkers as they hike along the scenic Kerry Way. 

Unsurprisingly, the cottage offers the ideal starting point for several popular walking routes, including the Carrauntoohil Lack Road, Reeks Ridge, Coomloughra Horseshoe, and the mountains located in MacGillycuddy's Reeks.
