About this property
Discover the magical beauty of South West Ireland from this traditional stone-fronted cottage, with breathtaking views across Kenmare Bay towards the Caha Mountains. This detached property offers a delightful holiday retreat in a glorious landscape for families or friends, and is just 2 miles away from the sand and shingle bathing beach at Coss Strand. Set in peaceful countryside, with wonderful scenic walks from the doorstep, the cottage is within easy reach of Templenoe along the iconic Ring of Kerry coastal route. The nearby Ring of Kerry Golf Club caters to keen golfers or those wishing to visit for a bite to eat, and Spillane’s Bar offers a local spot. Just 6 miles away is colourful Kenmare, a charming town that has excellent restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, independent shops and traditional Irish pubs and bars.
Enjoy the glorious views from the spacious, open-plan living area, filled with light from double patio doors and windows. This airy space houses a cottage-style dining table and pretty dresser, along with a comfortable chesterfield and easy chairs. The well-appointed kitchen has all you need to rustle up meals using local produce, and the cottage has underfloor hearting throughout, perfect for cooler nights. There are two inviting bedrooms: a pretty double with an en-suite bathroom and a bright twin with an en-suite shower. Outside is a patio with garden furniture, where you can enjoy the panoramic water and mountain views.
Follow Kenmare’s heritage trail to see its brightly painted houses, and browse the weekly Wednesday market for artisan food, local crafts, plants and more. Enjoy a seal-spotting boat trip across Kenmare Bay and take time to explore the rugged coast of the renowned Ring of Kerry.
