Delightful, homey, fab location

We absolutely loved our stay here. It's used (I presume) as a holiday home by the owner, so there's everything you could possibly need in the kitchen (even some basic consumables left by previous guests/ the owner) and everything feels so comfortable and homely. The view is really lovely (even though the garden across the road has obscured a bit of the view) and it's so quiet and private, yet so brilliantly situated close to the Ring of Kerry and not far from Kenmare. Highly recommend!

Great location near Kenmare

Beautiful newly remodeled home with modern appliances, Wi-Fi, and washer/dryer.

We were given great directions to the cottage and picking up the key was very easy. The cottage was clean, comfortable, well equipped and in a beautiful setting. Margaret was readily available to answer any questions we had. The location was close enough to Kenmare to make it a short drive for groceries, restaurants and pubs, entertainment and shopping. Even more, the location was great for exploring the Ring of Kerry, Killarney and the beautiful interior of the Iveragh Peninsula. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others who want to explore this area of Ireland.

Great time in Kenmare

We couldn’t have been happier with our experience staying at Templenoe Heights! Our host and her agent were incredibly helpful and gracious. We travel often and were really looking for a relaxing experience. This was perfect. Close enough to town to take advantage of all the area offers yet just far enough out of town to enjoy the quiet. The home was very comfortable and had everything you’d need without having to run to the store for everything little thing. Very private but with great views!

Nice house for a time off and work

A friend of mine and myself stayed at the house for a couple of days. During this time we also worked for some hours per day with our laptops. Everything worked out well. It is a nice house to stay. The contact person who provided us the keys has been flexible for our late check-in. Everything worked out! Thanks again that we could stay there.

Remote, beautiful!

Lovely property with an excellent view. Well-appointed and quite clean. The separate washer/dryer were a big plus. We wanted a remote, quiet location close to Kenmare, and this one fit beautifully. The beds were quite firm (a bit too firm for us), but otherwise, it was wonderful. Highly recommend this place. Please note that all the windows lock with a key, and this was a bit disconcerting for us (Americans fear of fire), but most homes in Ireland are made of concrete, so we did not worry as much. Would definitely choose this place again.

Wir waren fünf Nächte in dem blauen Haus und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Von Margret haben wir den Schlüssel erhalten. Sie hat uns alles ganz lieb erklärt. Das Haus ist wunderschön gelegen und wir haben die Ruhe genossen. Die Ausstattung sowohl in der Küche als auch im Haus war hervorragend (Waschmaschine und Zubehör etc.).Tempelnoe ist ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung des Ring of Kerry, den Killarney Nationalpark und den Ring of Beara.Einziger kleiner Minuspunkt ist, dass wir bei der Ankunft einmal Durchsaugen mussten, aber Bad, Küche waren sauber wie auch die Betten.Nach unseren Tagesausflügen haben wir uns immer auf "unser" gemütliches Heim gefreut.

Dear Catherin, thank you for taking the time and trouble to write your review. I will certainly pass your comments to the lady who is responsible for vacuuming and cleaning the house. In fairness, I have to say that this is the first time in 20 years that we have had this issue, our cleaners are normally very careful. I'm glad to see that you did enjoy your stay and we hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards, Monica

Zeer rustig en comfortabel verblijf in een mooie streek

Ruim huis met veel licht, alles gelijkvloers, 2 toiletten en badkamers. Prima uitgeruste keuken, alles voorhanden om te koken. Heel praktisch was de wasmachine en droogkast droogrek met wasspelden. De douches werken prima, maar hebben geen scherm - ideaal voor rolstoelgebruikers, maar je moet uitkijken dat je niet de hele badkamer natmaakt. (Een kleine dweilactie helpt wel)We boekten erg last minute, communicatie prima en we hadden een aangenaam verblijf! Dank je wel!
