About this property

Unique stone farmhouse,gamesroom/studio/sauna.Golf courses, beaches & fishing.


An attractive, grey stone building, originally stables and outhouses for the early 18th century Westcove House, overlooking the Kenmare estuary on the southern tip of the beautiful ring of Kerry. The Stables was converted in the 1960s and its facilities have been regularly updated over the years. All main bedrooms have a view of the sea and the mountains beyond. It sleeps up to 11 and provides an ideal annex to Westcove House, making a perfect venue for extended family re-unions, being very suitable for children. There is comfortable sitting room with open fire. Facilities also include wifi throughout. The well equipped kitchen has a dining table seating 10 and a spacious play area. A large games/party room, artist studio and a sauna/exercise area are facilities situated in The Stables building (which are usually shared with the house when let separately) and also approachable from the outside. However, please note that whilst Covid restrictions remain in place, the Games Room, Sauna and Exercise Room in The Stables may only be used by guests actually staying in The Stables, unless they are part of a larger group who are also booked into Westcove House and/or Garden Cottage). There is a patio with garden furniture with good views over the Kenmare estuary. The games room is also ideal for holding talks, classes, activities & demonstrations for a wide variety of interest groups. Art groups delight in our north-facing studio, while walking groups can revive weary muscles in our sauna after a day’s rambling. A large lawn with swings is perfect for children or playing games, or even erecting a marquee for a party/small wedding.
Our location is fantastic for outdoor pursuits from cycling to fishing, sailing to walking. Golf courses in our area are among the best in the world and within an hours drive you will find several top class facilities making Westcove also an ideal base for golfers.
For floor plans and more information on the many activities in this beautiful and fascinating part of Ireland, please refer to our own website: www.westcove.ie.
PLEASE NOTE… We are usually reluctant to let the Stables on its own in July and August until we are sure it is not needed as an annex to Westcove House (1213179) and/or Garden Cottage (1213184) which together make a very popular venue for extended family get-togethers and other reunions - See Westcove Lettings (439174). However, do check the calendar and contact me as this restriction does not always apply – when we ourselves are staying at Westcove House for instance, the Stables is often available on its own – and we very seldom use the games room!

We can only accept full week Saturday - Saturday bookings in July and August and a minimum of 5 nights during May, June, 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 (a 4 night minimum applies for large Weddings or Celebrations when a marquee is required)

About the host

Hosted by Susannah Adlington

Host profile image
My name is Susannah Adlington and I am a portrait artist living in Hampshire, England with my husband Michael. My father’s family have had Irish connections for several hundred years, and my parents bought Westcove House in the early 60s after coming across a 'for sale' sign whilst holidaying in the area. It was love at first sight and since then four generations of our family have been enjoying holidays here – we just love the place and feel sure that you would too. Indeed many of our guests return to Westcove time and time again – something which we view as the highest form of praise!

Why they chose this property

'The Stables' was literally the barn/stable building which came with Westcove House when we purchased the property in 1962. We restored and converted the building in the 1960's and it had been continuously updated over the years to meet modern standards whilst all the time retaining its character and charm. The open-plan kitchen/dining area is airy and spacious and all of the upstairs bedrooms have lovely seaviews.

What makes this property unique

The Stables has a large games room with table tennis, table football, darts board etc.that can be stored away and the room turned into a party room for celebrations, Irish dance & music evenings or even meetings,classes or demonstrations. There is a small exercise room and sauna and a studio with northern light that is perfect for artists. These facilities are shared with guests of Westcove House if The Stables is rented separately.
