My name is Erna, married and together with my husband we have three children. We live in one of the most beautiful provinces in the Netherlands and I work in education. For more than 40 years our family has been in the cottage called Scottish Garden. Ireland and especially the house has become an important part of our lives. What attracts us like that? The beauty and ruggedness of nature, the geniality of Irish life and the friendly people. In short, a country where peace and nature come togethe

A cozy house with a fantastic kitchen! It is fully equipped and located in a beautiful place.
During our stay it rained a lot and it was very cold and therefore it was extra nice to have a nice home base.

A nice place where you are literally in the middle of the beautiful landscape of Kerry. Equipped with many comforts! We did miss a bit of a self-evident outdoor space. With the changeable weather, some kind of veranda would be ...

Excellent accommodation with beautiful views of the Kenmare Bay. I made beautiful day hikes with my three (in-law) sons, with the absolute highlight being the climb of the Carrauntoohill led by Kerry Climbing. Great pubs in Sneem.

The house is secluded, but that was exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen is very very well equipped, just a pity that there was no freezer (or broken and was not communicated despite we specifically asked for it). For ...

There is a large fireplace in the house and that is a great pleasure for many, but if one of the guests has asthma, this can be quite a blow to the lungs, even though we have not used the...

Scottish garden is beautifully situated. From the house and the beautiful, large garden you have a great view. Hiking opportunities nearby, small beaches. Only downside is the distance to shops that can be reached over the beau...
