About this house rental


Westcove House, The Stables & Garden Cottage are three unique period properties, full of history and character set in the same grounds overlooking the beautiful Kenmare estuary in South Kerry. Georgian Westcove House comfortably sleeps 10 with 5 bath/shower rooms, The Stables sleeps up to 11 with 4 bath/shower rooms & Garden Cottage sleeps 5 with 3 shower rooms. Together all three properties are ideal for family reunions, small weddings, celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries or any other type of ‘gathering’ you may be planning. Yet all properties are also secluded enough to be rented separately (although The Stables and Garden Cottage are usually only available independently outside of high season - please contact owner for more details)
The elegant dining room in Westcove House, with panoramic views over the sea and mountains, comfortably seats 18 (max. 25), and we are able to seat up to 55 for a formal dinner in our 'games' room. Various delicious catering options can be provided. Details on our own website. Live music/dancing can be arranged for guests in our games room which is in the Stables building but is also accessible from the outside.
Our games/function room is also ideal for holding talks, classes, activities & demonstrations for a wide variety of interest groups. Artists delight in our north-facing studio, while walking groups can revive weary muscles in our sauna after a day’s rambling. All properties also have internet access, BBQs & garden furniture. Enjoy a drink on the terrace watching our field of decorative Soay sheep at play, or the ever-changing light and colour of Kerry's mystical landscape. A large lawn with swings is perfect for children or playing games...or even erecting a marquee for a party/small wedding for up to 80 guests.
Our location is fantastic for outdoor pursuits from cycling to fishing, sailing to walking. Golf courses in our area are among the best in the world and within an hours drive you will find several top class facilities making Westcove also an ideal base for golfers. For historians amongst you many of Kerry's most interesting historical sites are within easy reach...Whatever you enjoy doing this unique collection of excellently equipped homes are perfect for a holiday that will live long in your memory.

A group of us rented Westcove House, the Stables and the Garden Cottage to celebrate my 60th birthday. The property is extraordinary—and we were blessed with incredible weather (in January!). Katherine, the house manager was so helpful and took great care of us. Take advantage of her fabulous cooking—we had a celebratory birthday dinner that was magical and they did it all-she even arranged for local musicians for us. A beautiful place in a great location—I highly recommend!

We booked this property as the accommodations for our small destination wedding of about 18 people. First, the pictures on the profile don't do this property justice. The surroundings are absolutely idyllic. Location: For our purposes, it was perfect, keeping in mind that we planned in advance for car rentals to ensure we had enough seats at all times. The bulk of the wedding events were about 10 minutes down the road in Caherdaniel (highly recommend the Blind Piper), which is not a bad drive at all. Sneem was close enough for an excursion, and shopping for supplies was easy enough at either Kenmare, or with enough planning, Killarney. Accomodations: Wonderful. Very clean, comfortable, spacious, charming. The room layouts worked well for the make-up of our party. Kitchens are very well supplied, leaving you to get just the particulars for your stay. Katherine and her staff were very conscientious around upkeep, and also quite sweet and friendly. The wifi is strong in the bulk of the property. IT worked well for our purposes. Catering/Event hosting: Katherine and her team prepared DELICIOUS food for a few meals for us, and their service was so welcoming. Our reception dinner was in the larger room in the stables, and it was perfect for our group. Highly recommend looking into this option. Overall, highly HIGHLY recommend, all of our guests raved about their experience here. We look forward to returning in the future.

The property was truly a jewel in a unique picturesque setting .The three dwellings on the property were very well appointed with everything one would need including plenty of areas to sit and relax in. The kitchens were fully equipped , bedrooms were comfortable affording our family a very enjoyable holiday.

The cottage was lovely – even prettier than it looks in the pictures. Simply and tastefully furnished it had everything we could possibly need and Katherine and Michael were always on hand to make sure that all was well.A typical day began with breakfast on the patio (freshly-baked from the bakery behind the Stables), then we set off to explore. The white sands of Caherdaniel and the historic Derrynane House were just minutes away in one direction, the colourful village of Sneem and the pretty little town of Kenmare a short drive away in the other. We toured part of the Kerry Ring and explored the unspoilt, rugged beauty of the Beara peninsula, We drove round Valentia island (in the pouring rain, alas!) and visited the impressive Skellig Experience, We went for walks, we played golf, we paddled in the sea. Sometimes we just sat by the quayside of the little harbour below Westcove and did nothing at all.This would be a great place for couples wanting to get away from it all. It would also appeal to families as there is so much to do, whatever your age or your interests. Surfing, riding, fishing ... enjoying Irish food and Irish hospitality … the list goes on.
