Keenly priced 4**** cottage. Great views over Kenmare Bay to Caha Mts. Free WiFi

This 2 bedroom cottage is located just off the Ring of Kerry approx 10 min drive from the picturesque bustling town of Kenmare, famous for its award winning restaurants and pubs. The house is south facing and enjoys stunning views to the Caha Mountains and the Beara Peninsula. Nearby Coss Strand, Pat Spillane's Bar, the Ring O'Kerry Golf and Country Club, Templenoe Pier (for sea swimming and sailing) and the forest walks of Dromore Wood are all within 5 min driving distance. Local activity centres offer a wide range of water sports, including sailing and kayaking.

The property is an excellent base for exploring the Iveragh, Beara and Dingle Peninsulas and for day drives to Killarney National Park.

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.

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!

Fantastic house for visiting the peninsulas!
The house was comfortable, quiet and private, about 10 minutes from Kenmare. Our family enjoyed our 7 days very much visiting the 3 peninsulas from this home base, and Margret was a superb host that helped us out in several ways we very much appreciated. Highly recommended!

Would have no problem in recommending and will Defo be back.

Templenoe heights
We are just back from a week staying at Templenoe Heights. House was very clean and had everything you could ever need even buckets and spades for the kids which came in handy! Beds were very comfortable.Location was great and just a few miles from kenmare. Gardens were lovely and great for the kids to play in. Beautiful views and lots of country roads around for walking. 2km from a pebbly beach.

Well looked-after property in great location
Everything you need is in this tastefully decorated house and the views are lovely through all rooms at the front. We felt very much at home here during our holiday. Monica has been quick to respond by email and has Margaret only a short car ride away to look after the day-to-day business. The house is in a great location to enjoy the ring of Kerry and Beara, lovely Kenmare town and the busy Kilearney park. We happily recommend this property!

Fantastic place from which to enjoy one of the most beautiful areas in all the world!
This home is unusually well-appointed. Kitchen has everything one needs, including many supplies to get cooking underway immediately. The rest of the house is neat, warm, and pleasant. The three of us found it to be the perfect place to stay.

Well equipped cottage in the beautiful Ring of Kerry
The cottage is pleasant, in a narrow road on a hill with a spectacular view on the bay. It is a nice place to stay and explore the region. Some minor problems: absence of curtains in the shower and WiFi not strong enough for 5.

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.

Ich war im letzten Jahr schon in diesem Haus und es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Würde es beim nächsten Aufenthalt in Kennmare wieder buchen. Check in unkompliziert. Auch wärend des Aufenthaltes keine Problem z,B. ging uns wärend des Kochens das Gas aus die zuständige Dame war nach 15 Minuten mit einer neuen Flasche da. Und alle sehenswerten Orte sind von dort aus sehr gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen.
