Sienna

We arrived at this amazing house and enjoyed the hot tub on arrival and "spa days" in the beautiful bathrooms. We ate in the Boat House which was amazing, the food and scenery! We enjoyed the shopping in Kenmare. Lorraine was a very kind and professional host who answered any questions immediately. The views are indescribably beautiful and we cant wait to return.

Such a beautiful house - thank you for putting so much thought into making it so welcoming, and to Lorraine for all her help, as well as the warm welcome. We enjoyed wonderful meals in Mulcahy´s and The Boathouse Bistro, would definitely recommend! We are really looking forward to visiting again.

We´ve had a lovely stay - beautiful house and what a garden to explore! We enjoyed exploring the local area too with day trips away and close to home - Templenoe Pier was a favourite. Thanks so much to Lorraine for making our stay so comfortable.

Everything and more has been thought about at this house to make one feel at home, pure perfection! The area is amazing for walks, Kerry Cliffs are a must visit. Lots of lovely restaurants and local entertainment.

We arrived for my birthday to a slice of Heaven. I love this place so much; the interior, the beautiful smells, the views, the high quality of absolutely everything. We loved doing a little cold plunge in the stream followed by a bathe in the hot tub. The surroundings of this home are magical. We have just had the most glorious, unforgettable trip as a family of three and we want to say thank you so much for creating such a welcoming, beautiful home for us to stay in.

Glorious arrival to a frozen January week of ice and snow, with every tree white with frost. It was truly beautiful. From one storm (Isha to Jocelyn) to another, we had wild winds, saw huge waves and had three excellent bike rides into the mountains behind the house when the weather allowed. We also snuck in an exhilarating swim at Derrymare pier! Through all this, thank you for a warm, perfect place to stay. A joy to come home at the end of a day out.

Sienna is wonderful. We immediately went into relaxation mode when we walked into the kitchen and saw the welcome hamper. We appreciated all the areas to lounge and hang out. It´s such a beautiful space, we wish we could have stayed longer.

There are not sufficient superlatives to do this home and its surroundings justice! We have had a fantastic holiday. Everything has been spectacular, despite the patchy weather. We really wish we could stay longer.

Kerry is good for the soul and Sienna is a wonderful spot from which you can set forth and explore all of its treasures. Thank you for letting us stay. We hope to be back again for more exploring soon.

Beautiful house! Beautiful setting! Beautiful weather! Our 3 generation family travelled here from the UK and it was an idyllic base to explore the storming countryside of County Cork and Kerry. I have spent many happy holidays in the two counties with my parents visiting our many aunts, uncles and extended family. To return to where my parents were born and lived made it a very special time to then share this glorious land with a new generation of my family.

We´ve had a wonderful holiday here- thank you so much for your care and attention to detail. Our first visit to Ireland- but it will not be our last! We can´t wait to return.

What a beautiful mystical time of the year to visit the Kingdom of Kerry. As a Corkonian who has lived abroad for many years, I have been blown away. The rain added to the charm! The house is just perfect; homely, incredibly comfortable, warm and spotless. We loved lying in those luxurious beds listening to the soft rain on the skylights. Thank you.

Thank you for opening your lovely home to us. This is our first trip to Ireland. We have made so many wonderful memories and seen so much in our short time. If you´d like a great hike, check out the church and gatehouse of Dromore Castle up the road! Hope to be back soon in the summer. Thanks a million!

As we´d expected, we had lots of different weather- thunderstorms, serious sunshine and lashing rain. This allowed us to take advantage of all aspects of this magnificent house. Cosying up by the fireplace, enjoying a morning coffee on the terrace and star gazing from the hot tub. We´ve had a truly magical stay.

A wonderful week in this very lovely and comfortable house- thank you! The weather was (mostly) gorgeous and everything was just as we could wish for. Kenmare has some great local shops for food shopping. We´ll definitely come back to both the house and this part of Ireland.

A fabulous house! We loved Kenmare and its cute shops. The beach at Derrynane was beautiful and the gardens and cafe (excellent cake!) at Derreen House were superb. We were lucky with the weather but when not, it didn´t matter.

The home just exceeded our expectations, and the garden was amazing, complete with a stream / waterfall and bridge and woodland walk! Not to mention the apple trees, fire pit and incredible view of Kenmare Bay and the mountains beyond!

Sienna was a perfect stay! The location was stunning, the house was beautiful, we loved our time. Our Homestay Specialist was incredibly responsive and helpful. We were delighted! Thank you for a superlative stay. The whole experience was seamless, we absolutely loved our time and definitely hope to stay with Unique Homestays again! It was the best travel experience we’ve had in a long time!

Thank you! Sienna is so beautiful and we had the best week exploring Kenmare and the surrounding areas. We loved the hikes at Gleninchaquin and Caranuntoohil! Also Derreen Gardens and lunch at Helen´s Bar in Kilmackillogue. The wonderful walks at Derrynane Beach and a visit to Sneem for a pint at O´Shea´s Bar. We have been blown away by the beauty of the Beara Peninsula and Healy´s Pass. We can´t wait to return!

Beautiful house in an equally beautiful location. We´ve had a wonderful week and feel very lucky to have had wall-to-wall sunshine. Thank you for sharing your home with us - you have exceptional taste! We will definitely be back.

Like heaven. What an amazing retreat! We felt like we were in paradise for five days. Sienna is an extraordinarily beautiful, luxurious house and the surroundings are breathtaking. Thank you so much for everything.

Sienna is stunning and owing to it being Christmas, it was even more magical during our stay. Relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly before settling down to a Christmas movie in front of the gorgeous log burner was exactly what we needed. We would recommend this home to anyone!

My husband and I came to Kenmore looking for a place to unwind, after a long two years of work and no holidays! We´ve had to cancel a trip aboard because of lockdowns which made us a bit sad. But, Sienna changed our mood and mind instantly. Such a beautiful house, well thought out and cosy. The views are amazing. The bridge, the hot tub, the garden, the starry night sky, the comfy beds and the Christmas tree; all made our stay truly Unique! Even the stormy weather and winds were so enjoyable to watch here. We got to see the full force of nature from the warmth of the welcoming fireplace in your home. The housekeeper was a great host, and her preparation and thoughtful messages guided our stay and made out holiday even better.

Thank you for such a relaxing stay! Sienna is set up so well that we didn´t want to leave and all the little touches made our minimoon extra special. "Four seasons in one day" was definitely our soundtrack to the weekend and made the views so much more amazing! We hope to be back again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We´ve enjoyed every moment here, from sunny walks in the spectacular countryside to sitting in front of the fire watching the atmospheric clouds roll over. We will forever hold magical memories of our time here, particularly of Muckross Abbey where we got engaged! Such a special time and place in our hearts.

Sienna is the most thoughtfully designed and maintained vacation home. Kudos to all those with such taste and vision involved in creating this lovely space, and for allowing others to enjoy it.

The style and setting of Sienna left us speechless! The real luxury is in the relaxed living created by a perfectly designed layout, beautiful clean spaces, top quality facilities, attention to detail and the colour palette. It´s a very special place that creates lovely memories: watching the giant red moon rise over Kenmare Bay, picking raspberries after playing tennis barefoot on the grass, morning yoga on the beautiful deck, falling asleep to the sound of the river, toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. Simply the feeling of being surrounded by the best bits of the Kerry landscape!

Not just a great holiday house, but an experience! Lots of special memories made; watching the giant red moon rising from the deck, playing tennis barefoot on the lawn, picking raspberries, toasting marshmallows, exploring the garden, cycling the boreens, swaying in the hammock... Thank you!

We´ve had a fantastic holiday here at Sienna. So much so, that we are already planning a return trip! Even the changeable weather couldn´t curb our enjoyment! We look forward to visiting Sienna again.
