Pier Cottage

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.

How to get to Westcove
(There is no public transport, so a car is essential)

By Air
The nearest airport is ‘Kerry’, 20 minutes north of Killarney and 1½ hours drive from Westcove House. Ryanair fly there daily from Stansted Airport and there are also direct flights to Kerry Airport from Manchester and Luton. Cork Airport is further away, but with faster roads, driving time to the cottage is only about 2 ¼ hours. Many airlines offer flights to Cork, not only from London but from other airports in the UK and Europe (Shannon Airport is a good 3¼ hours drive away – further than it looks)

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.

Directions from Cork (approximately 2 1/4 hour drive)
Take the N22 Killarney Road, follow it until about 10 miles short of Killarney, where you turn left to Kenmare. In Kenmare (a good place to stop for provisions is Supervalu Supermarket), follow the signs to Waterville.

Ten miles after going through Sneem, you reach the small village of Castlecove.

Then....

For Pier Cottage

Follow the road straight through Castlecove for one mile and turn directly left, after passing some derelict buildings on your left. Keep left for a quarter mile or so and you come to the harbour.

Pier Cottage is the last cottage on the left before the pier.

“Location, location, location.” Uniquely peaceful location - next to the water, and away from the main Ring of Kerry road. Wonderful views and wildlife.
