Situated between the towns of Waterville and Kenmare, the village of Sneem is on the route of the Kerry Way. It has a variety of shops, pubs and tea-rooms, and its brightly coloured houses add to the vibrant atmosphere making it a popular spot. It is widely believed that it is not possible to complete a circuit of the Ring of Kerry without passing through this lovely village. Waterville and Kenmare both make for an excellent day out and are close by, as is the beautiful Killarney National Park with its stunning scenery, a must for keen walkers. Macgillicuddy's Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland, offers challenging terrain for the more experienced walker. This wonderful area has a lot to offer as a holiday destination.
County Kerry is a mystical and unspoilt part of Ireland, with spectacular natural beauty and a fascinating history. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, it features many sandy beaches, rocky inlets and stunning peninsulas.
Reviews of River House
"Our extended family, some from Canada, have just spent the most wonderful week in River House in Sneem Co. Kerry. This holiday home is just so comfortable and nice and cosy and has so much for a family no matter what age the children. It has beautiful views and a private garden where the children can fly kites and play bat ball and see lots of wild life. The hosts, Noel and Margaret just cant do enough to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and I would like to say a big 'Thank You' to both of them. We certainly hope to return. The Whites"

"Very well set up property with space for a large party. A private property but still within easy walking distance of Sneem. The owner was very helpful. The house was very clean and tidy throughout and there was a good big kitchen area and conservatory ideal for families. Great base for exploring the ring of Kerry and Kenmare area."

"Noel and Margaret have the ultimate Irish vacation home in Ireland. Situated on the Sneem River with the mountain backdrop and a ten minute walk to the fine pubs and restaurants of Sneem. It is the ultimate town with the very best home to call your own. It is truly "living in the lap of luxury". Noel was just a phone call away to assist with taxis, flat tires or whatever the request, We just hope we didn't abuse him!! You must see this house and stay to believe it!!
