Westcove Lettings consists of; Westcove House, The Stables & Garden Cottage – three wonderful unique period properties, full of history and character set in the same grounds overlooking the beautiful Kenmare estuary in Co. Kerry. Georgian Westcove House comfortably sleeps 10 while the converted Stables & wonderfully restored Garden Cottage sleep 11 & 5. Together all three properties are ideal for reunions, get-togethers & celebrations of special occasions, birthdays, anniversaries or any other type of ‘gathering’ you may be planning. Yet all properties are also secluded enough to be rented separately (although mainly only available independently outside of high season - please contact owner for more details)
The elegant dining room in Westcove House, overlooking the waters of Castlecove harbour, comfortably seats 18 (max. 26) and various delicious catering options can be provided. (Contact owner for details) Live music/dancing can be arranged for guests in our games room which adjoins The Stables but is also accessible from the outside.
Our games room is also ideal for holding talks, classes, activities & demonstrations for a wide variety of interest groups. Art groups 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. We also have a rowing boat available at guests own risk.
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. Whatever you enjoy doing this unique collection of excellently equipped homes are perfect for a holiday that will live long in your memory.
Garden Cottage: Caherdaniel, County Kerry Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 439174ha
A traditional 18th century stone cottage, originally built for farm workers for Westcove House. After years of being used as a workshop, Garden Cottage has recently been converted to a high standard and now consists of a spacious living room with kitchen, dining area, a wood burning stove and large patio doors opening south to a stone terrace and magnificent views over the Kenmare Estuary. Off the entrance hall is a twin (or large double) bedroom, a single bedroom and a shower room - also a utility room with sink, washing machine and drier. The stairs lead to a twin bedroom with its own shower room - small but comfortable and full of character. The ground floor has attractive ceramic floor tiles and underfloor heating throughout. It makes an ideal annex to Westcove House and/or The Stables but although only 40 yards from the House it is completely secluded making it an idyllic retreat on its own with flexible start/finish dates but not usually bookable at less than a month's notice.

What a wonderful place you have here ... we enjoyed every minute ... the weather was perfect. We took lovely walks, went for drives, ate lovely food. We loved sitting on the patio, just listening to the birds and the sheep. We loved the beaches and wish we could have stayed longer.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

From the time of our warm welcome to the last moments of dappled sunshine on the patio, we have had a wonderful stay in Garden Cottage. Our toddler had a great time in the surf and the adults enjoyed a thundering gallop along the sands at low tide (like a scene from a 'Discover Ireland' TV ad') ..... The cottage was lovely and we took full advantage of the outdoor areas and BBQ (we are Australian after all ...)Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

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.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers.
