About this group of co-located holiday homes

Three exceptional period properties, on the same estate overlooking the Kenmare Estuary on the south coast of beautiful County Kerry are ideal for family get togethers or luxurious weekend breaks with friends. Georgian Westcove House sleeps 10 comfortably, 50 metres from The Stables, which sleeps a further 11, and 30 metres from Garden Cottage, a recently renovated 18th century stone building, sleeping up to 5. Together these properties are perfect for reunions, as all the facilities can be shared. The elegant dining room in the House can comfortably seat 18 (maximum 26). The terrace to the front of the house faces south, overlooking the harbour and the mountains of West Cork beyond, with steps leading down to the water's edge. It has a built-in barbecue and comfortable garden furniture. There is a large games/party room in The stables where Irish live music/dancing evenings can be arranged for special celebrations. This is an ideal base for golfers, with 6 excellent courses within reach, and art groups, as the Stables has a north facing studiio. Flexible catering is available - options sent on request.

The County Kerry region

Westcove is an ideal base from which to explore the many fascinating areas in this, the most scenic corner of Ireland. There are numerous possible excursions: north to Killarney with its famous lakes, northwest to the legendary Dingle Peninsular, west to Waterville, Balliskellings and Valencia Island, from where you can take an unforgettable boat trip to the Skelligs.

To the south lies Bantry Bay, which is reached via spectacular mountain passes. Kerry and West Cork are dotted with wonderful tropical gardens, especially beautiful in May and June. The countryside immediately surrounding Castlecove is ideally suited for all types of walking, ranging from gentle strolls along lovely sandy beaches to more serious hikes over craggy hills. The famous 'Kerry Way' walk takes you along the ridge of hills, all the way from Waterville to Kenmare and is well signed, but still wonderfully unspoiled.

Watersports: You can swim, row and shrimp nearby and there are several sandy beaches within ten minutes drive. Derrynane, 4 miles away, has an excellent watersports centre in the summer - with facilities for all ages, including water-skiing, windsurfing, sailing and canoeing. Scuba diving facilities are also available locally.

Fishing: Salmon, trout and sea fishing can be arranged locally. Some of our visitors enjoy spinning for bass, mullet etc. from nearby beaches and rocks. (More details below on this page)

Shooting: During the winter, challenging shooting over the wild stretches of bog land for woodcock and snipe can be arranged. Irish gun licences must be obtained in advance.

Riding: Beach riding and pony trekking are available 2 miles away at Caherdaniel.

Eating Out: There are several excellent and varied restaurants around. The convivial atmosphere of the Irish pub is legendary - the whole family can be assured of a very warm welcome, and many have live music,- especially during the summer.

Golf: There are five excellent and varied golf courses within ¾ of an hours drive of Westcove.

The Caherdaniel area

A few suggestions for “Outings” within 15 minutes drive:
Derrynane: go straight on to visit Derrynane House – a fascinating insight into Irish history – the house of Daniel O’Connell, “The Liberator”. The house and gardens are also worth a tour … in summer the tea rooms have an irresistible selection of home-made cakes.

Caherdaniel: stop for a Guinness at Freddy’s – a well known local pub which has been there forever, or go to The Blind Piper – a younger atmosphere and excellent food. In summer, there’s a market in the village hall between 10 and 12 on Friday mornings – well worth a visit – lots of local produce and crafts. There is also an excellent food market on Sundays.

Arguably the best example of a pre-Christian fort in Ireland, Staigue Fort is less than 15 mins drive away. Well worth a visit, especially on a clear day, when the views out over the Atlantic are breathtaking.

Local Walks: If you just want a stroll along the dunes (dogs paradise with endless rabbit burrows) go to the beautiful beaches and dunes of Derrynane. There are a couple of excellent, slightly more challenging walks you can try, starting from Westcove itself.

* By air: From London you can fly to CORK (Aer Lingus or Ryan Air) or KILLARNEY (Kerry Airport) (Ryan Air from Stansted, Luton and Manchester) and hire a car. Several other UK airports also offer flights to Cork.

* BY SEA: There is a choice of sailings from the South West of England to Rosslare, on the south-eastern tip of Ireland:- a) Stenaline – operate two daily 3½ hour crossings (all year) and two daily 1¾ hour high speed sailings (from March to September) from Fishguard. b) Irish Ferries – also operate twice daily crossings to Rosslare from Pembroke, which take 4 hours, but the driving time from London takes half an hour less than to Fishguard, and their cabins are much more comfortable.

* There is no public transport, so a car is essential.
* Access to Westcove House: Follow the road straight through Castlecove for one mile and, after passing some derelict buildings on your left, take the second turn on your left at a small crossroads.
After about 100 yards bear right, the entrance to Westcove House is directly in front of you. Proceed over the cattle grid, with a stone wall on either side, and park by the grass circle.

“A perfect taste of Ireland” We had the pleasure of renting three homes at Westcove this past summer.We were so pleased with all of them! The views from the main home were breathtaking and the location was perfect. The staff were so delightful and most helpful with anything we needed during our two week stay.

“Another lovely holiday in the wonderful Westcove” This was our fourth visit to Westcove and it didn't disappoint. We enjoyed the flexibility of Katherine's meals, which allowed everybody to eat together (we were a party of 21 in all) - certainly something that would have posed problems had we chosen to dine out. The tranquility of the area and magical views - especially with the moon on the water at night - the fantastic Derrynane beach, the comfort of the houses and the service Katherine and her team provides is what brings us back. We have converted our friends to the magic of the area! Try the horseriding on the beach and the motorboat rib trips.
