Inchimore Farm (farmhouse)

Home description

The farmhouse stands in over 50 acres of pasture, native woodland and natural habitat at the top of the Slaheny Valley. About 20 minutes walk away is our lake (1000ft x 600ft), surrounded by forests and pasture. The farm was unoccupied for about 20 years, allowing the flora an fauna to flourish undisturbed. It is therefore a paradise for anyone who wants complete tranquility.

You would be welcome to join in our farming activities or, have you ever thought of trying "The Good Life" for yourselves? Now is your chance to find out if it is for you. Just give us a call to personalise your rural holiday.

The County Kerry region

Whatever sort of holiday you are planning, Co. Kerry has something to offer - spectacular scenery including the highest mountain in Ireland, friendly people, exciting and interesting festivals, water sports, sandy beaches, walking, climbing, caves, stone circles, historic sites, a huge variety of restaurants, live music or the total tranquillity of secluded valleys where the silence and no light pollution make you think you are in another world.

Kerry has its own airport at Farranfore, just 15km outside Killarney with flights by Aer Arann and Ryanair from several airports in the United Kingdom.

Kenmare / Kilgarvan area

Kilgarvan - our village - is 10km from our farm. Here you will find two village stores, one with a post office and filling station. The Village Grill provides basic meals and takeaways and there are six pubs, some with live music. The annual music festival in June and the Kilgarvan Annual Fair in August are the highlights of the village year.

Kilgarvan Church celebrated its centenary in 2008. Kilgarvan Motor Museum has a wide and interesting range of old cars and hosts car rallies.

A further 10km away is the delightful market town of Kenmare - 2008 winner of the fiercely contested Tidy towns Competition. There are regular cattle and sheep markets and a weekly general market with delectable French delicatessen and lots of bric-a-brac.

The brightly coloured main streets of the town offer an enticing variety of clothes, craft and gift shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, modern internet facilities, a post office and many pubs and restaurants with live music to get your feet tapping. Several interesting historical sites can be found in and near the town.

The Tourist Information Centre will be happy to provide more information or direct you to the Heritage Centre where you can see the famous Kenmare Lace made and hear how it came to be in the town. Just outside the town is the moving Famine Grave.

How to get there

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The traditional 2 bedroom farmhouse accommodation has been extended by a large kitchen (11.5m x 8.5m) with big windows giving superb views up and down the valley.This is where you will find everybody congregates. A Rayburn range heats the central heating in winter and provides extra cooking facilities if required. There is a gallery above the kitchen with a king-size mattress.

The lounge features a huge log fire. Across from the house, upstairs in the dairy there is another double bed. By the addition of several mattresses and a cot this would provide a big family room or a dormitory for several older children - like camping but with the comfort of being indoors.

Further details

There is no mobile phone signal at the house, but you can normally get a signal about half way up the drive. You will be able to use the landlines for local calls only, so it would be a good idea to bring an international phone card with you. These are available at the village shop.

You would be welcome to pick in season vegetables growing in the garden or we may be able to provide other farm produce at reasonable prices.

Guestbook for Inchimore Farm

What an amazing place to stay with such spectacular views of mountains and countryside. Lovely warm welcome, spacious accommodating house with many facilities. The only passing traffic was cows who were going to be milked!!! A peceful and tranquil haven and we will be back again. Thank you. Helen and family, Berkshire, England
We stayed at Inchimore Farm for a week and really enjoyed every minute of our time there. Set in a very tranquil setting, away from all distractions of the outside world, it's the perfect place to relax and chill out. The farmhouse itself has an old world charm with the personal touch from the current owners. We felt more like invited guests rather than seasonal renters. Everything we needed was there and more. Our dogs also had a great time!
Thanking you again from Rose and Siobhan (Dungarvan, Ireland).
