Información de la propiedad

Restored 18th C. Coastguard cottage on shore of beautiful Kenmare Estuary

A sensitively restored, stone 18th century coastguard cottage. It can be rented throughout the year as two totally self- contained units or one interconnecting cottage. These details are for the 'East End', sleeping 4 in 2 bedrooms..(for details of the West End sleeping up to 7 in 3 bedrooms see property no. 8235077, and for info on the whole cottage, sleeping up to 11, see property no. 8250937)

Pier Cottage is idyllically situated one mile west of Castlecove, just off the famous Ring of Kerry. The Cottage is only 50 metres from its own shingle beach and immerses you in the wild natural beauty of Kerry. It is ideal for many types of activities such as hiking, fishing riding and golf. However, you can just relax outside, watch the seals play as the cares of the world drift away. Then, as the sun sets over the Atlantic, you can nestle up by the open fire, guarded against the elements and listen to the cries of the curlews … whilst you sip an Irish whiskey!

Please note: We can only accept full week Saturday - Saturday bookings in July and August and a minimum of 5 nights during May, June, September, Easter, Christmas, and New Year periods. At other times, start/finish dates can be more flexible by arrangement but must be for a minimum of 3 nights.

Excursions:
The Cottage is an ideal base from which explore the many fascinating areas in this, the most scenic corner of Ireland. Two of Kerry's most visited sites - Derrynane House, home of Daniel O'Connell, known as the 'Liberator' and Staigue Fort, Ireland's best preserved pre Cristian stone fortress are within 15 minutes drive.
You can head north to Killarney with its famous lakes, north-west to Waterville, Ballinskelligs and Valencia Island, from where you can take an unforgettable boat trip to Skellig Michael, recently made famous as the stunning location for the last scene in 'Star Wars - The Force Awakens'. 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.

Activities:
ANGLING AND BOAT TRIPS:-As you will see, there are several very experienced and fully insured boatmen happy to take you on a variety of sea trips...most have informative websites - Katherine knows them all and will help you make the right choice!
DERRYNANE SEA SPORTS:-Located in one of the safest and most picturesque little harbours imaginable, Helen and her experienced young helpers offer a huge variety of sea sport activities for all ages during the summer months. All details on their excellent website!
GOLF:- The golf courses of Kerry are legendary! Four of these are within 3/4 of an hour's drive of Westcove and many more a bit further afield but still well worth the journey for serious golfers...
WALKS:-Kerry is a walker's paradise - from gentle strolls over sandy beaches to more challenging hikes over craggy hills - and our favourite local walks described here are ideal for dog owners, but please be sure to keep them well under control, especially on the hills where there are always sheep around. We suggest that the more serious walkers amongst you visit www.kerryway.com At 200km the Kerry Way is one of the longest - and certainly the most scenic - signposted walking trails in Ireland. The 3 legs worth considering and easily walkable from Westcove are - 'Waterville-Caherdaniel', 'Caherdaniel-Staigue', and 'Staigue-Sneem' - details are on their 'trail description'.
SEAWEED DISCOVERY WALKS AND FEASTS:-John and Kerryann Fitzgerald run Seaweed Workshops from their base in Caherdaniel: Their love of nature and all things marine has lead them to focus on seaweed which they have been harvesting, eating and experimenting with for many years. Kerryann uses her culinary skills to create delicious dishes from hand harvested local seaweeds.Click here to see what they can offer at Westcove. Contact John on 086 1062110 or email seaweedwalks@gmail.com
BLUEBERRY HILL FARM (about a mile north of Sneem on the Killarney road) is truly family friendly. They offer an amazing variety of courses and activities for all ages, and the Family Fun Tour is a fantastic outing for children.
For more details about the excursions and activities above please go to 'westcove.ie'

There is a large lawn facing south over the estuary with 2 picnic tables. In the lean-to shed there is additional outside furniture and 2 BBQs as well as a selection of life jackets for all ages. Fishing rods and shrimping nets are usually available (please enquire).
If you have your own boat, there is a slipway for launching it beside the pier and safe mooring in the little harbour.

Owner's note… All our visitors seem to agree that the unique, magical location of this cottage surpasses all their expectations – no description or photograph can do it justice! However, being only 30 metres from the very rocky seashore and close to the pier itself, Pier Cottage can be a hazardous choice for those with very young children – they would certainly need constant supervision
the seals!. There are several sandy beaches within ten minutes drive.

Very Special

The East-end cottage was all we'd hoped for: cozy, peaceful, comfortable, clean plus all the amenities to make it "home away from home." We saw seals, stars and the beautiful scenery. We were fortunate to have sunny days, and stormy nights. The cottage was a perfect base for touring the region. It's a wonderful, truly special place.

Our happy place

We are from Georgia, USA, and our stay at this incredible home was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had stumbled upon something special. The property exceeded our expectations in every way, and we truly felt like we were in our own little slice of paradise. The location was peaceful and serene.We spent three days soaking in the beauty and relaxation, and the mornings felt like a gift.We can’t put into words how much this place meant to us. Leaving was incredibly emotional — we both cried because it had truly become our happy place. It was more than a place we stumbled on, it was an experience that touched our hearts. We’re so thankful we found this place, and we can’t wait to come back someday.If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful, and unforgettable stay, this is the place! Thank you for creating such a wonderful space for us to enjoy. We will cherish these memories forever.

Could not be better situated - on edge of bay and quiet. Lots of seals and amazing bird life. This was our second stay and we are going to return many times more. Ideal spot from which to explore Kerry.

We felt we could ask Katherine for any information needed and met Susannah and her friends for coffee. We were very sad to leave!

Spectacular views

We stayed in Pier Cottage (East) for a week. The location is beautiful. The sea view was our reason for booking - we weren’t disappointed. It was a short trip (15 mins drive) to Derrynane beach which we visited many times with the dogs. Perhaps not typical of Ireland, but the weather was amazing and we were able to so and see so much. We recommend the lesser visited Beara Peninsula. The house is a great base for touring the Ring of Kerry.

Great week in January

Lovely property that suited our needs well. The weather was very kind to us so able to get out for lots of photography sessions around the area. A bonus was the seals on the rocks in front of the house at low tide and herons egrets and curlews around the back of the house. The cottage was well equipped and cosy owner Susanna and Katherine were very responsive we are booked to go back to Westcove in July with family and are looking forward to it very much.

Heaven on Earth!

We stayed in Pier Cottage for five nights and five stars just isn’t enough to do it justice. The cottage is small - perfect for a couple - and nicely rustic but super comfortable, cosy, warm, plenty of hot water, well equipped kitchen …. no complaints at all from us. And then there’s the setting! The view from the cottage is simply stunning! Sitting on the rocky beach, watching the birds, seals (I counted 32 spread around the rocks off shore), sea and mountains was pure relaxation. And the location is great for exploring the Ring of Kerry. One of our favourite holiday stays ever!

Fabulous Cottage and Location

The cottage was cozy and met all our needs. The location was far more beautiful that the pictures show. There were rocks were fun to climb through. The pier was just a few steps away if you want to canoe or kayka. There were a lot of seals in the harbor which were great to watch and photograph. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful and different every day. The owner was wonderful to communicate with. She was extremely helpful. There were lots of beautiful sites close by. Our time there was fabulous!

Amazing cottage and scenery

We spent a wonderful week in this amazing cottage! Coming from the Alps it was such an unforgettable experience to be surrounded by the sea. We enjoyed every moment opening the door and just standing in front of an always changing scenery. We felt very comfortable in this perfectly equipped cottage, enjoyed the welcome- flowers on the table upon arrival and a warming fire when it was stormy outside. It was a perfect place to be and from where to visit the many beautiful places on the ring of Kerry. We are very grateful and will always have this wonderful place on earth in our memories. With our best wishes! Irene, Horst and Momo Switzerland

Mini paradise

Omg what can I say? This place is a true hidden gem and we had the best week there. My 6year old cried this morning when we had to leave. We stayed in the east end as there was just four of us. Accommodation and facilities were perfect and as described. Katherine is an absolute lady and gave us great welcome and advice. Cooking/dining: There was adequate delph and cooking utensils. The BBQ was an added bonus and the fridge/freezer was a decent size to store enough food to feed us all. There was an electric mixer which is great as kids and adults love pancakes. Sitting room: The reclining couch was very comfy and we fought over that 😜 the armchairs also comfy. The open fire was a lovely feature too. Great to have google chromecast to stream from our devices. Sleeping: The beds were really comfort and we all slept really well. Rooms were good size with adequate storage Bathroom/cleaning: Fine size with decent shower and bath. Loved the heated towel rail, nice feature. Use of washing machine invaluable as got all clothes done. We were blessed with drying weather 😂 Outdoors: Our favourite part was the access to the beach and the large green area with picnic benches. Between hurling, football, collecting shells and swimming, the kids were happy. We were lucky to share the space with a lovely family. We were able to keep our own space or join them for games, swimming etc The views from each window are amazing and we literally fell in love with place. We will be back ☺️
