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.
