About this property

Unique period properties on the sea, with games room & sauna.Ideal for reunions.


Westcove House, The Stables & Garden Cottage are three unique period properties, full of history and character set in the same grounds overlooking the beautiful Kenmare estuary in South Kerry. Georgian Westcove House comfortably sleeps 10 with 5 bath/shower rooms, The Stables sleeps up to 11 with 4 bath/shower rooms & Garden Cottage sleeps 5 with 3 shower rooms. Together all three properties are ideal for family reunions, small weddings, celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries or any other type of ‘gathering’ you may be planning. Yet all properties are also secluded enough to be rented separately (although The Stables and Garden Cottage are usually only available independently outside of high season - please contact owner for more details)
The elegant dining room in Westcove House, with panoramic views over the sea and mountains, comfortably seats 18 (max. 25), and we are able to seat up to 55 for a formal dinner in our 'games' room. Various delicious catering options can be provided. Details on our own website. Live music/dancing can be arranged for guests in our games room which is in the Stables building but is also accessible from the outside.
Our games/function room is also ideal for holding talks, classes, activities & demonstrations for a wide variety of interest groups. Artists delight in our north-facing studio, while walking groups can revive weary muscles in our sauna after a day’s rambling. All properties also have internet access, BBQs & garden furniture. Enjoy a drink on the terrace watching our field of decorative Soay sheep at play, or the ever-changing light and colour of Kerry's mystical landscape. A large lawn with swings is perfect for children or playing games...or even erecting a marquee for a party/small wedding for up to 80 guests.
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 historians amongst you many of Kerry's most interesting historical sites are within easy reach...Whatever you enjoy doing this unique collection of excellently equipped homes are perfect for a holiday that will live long in your memory.

Please Note :-
The rate you will be quoted is for all 3 houses - sleeping 21-26.

We can only accept full week Saturday - Saturday bookings in July and August and a minimum of 5 nights during May, June, September, 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 Weddings or Celebrations)

For groups of 16-21 you may only need Westcove House and The Stables...and if you only require accommodation for 11-15, just Westcove House and Garden Cottage might suit you. If you are interested in either of these options, please let us know on the HomeAway enquiry form and we will revise the quote accordingly. If you are looking for a property that sleeps up to 10, Westcove House can also be booked on it's own via the individual listing (number 1213179).

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 … 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

Westcove is very dear to our family - we have spent many years upgrading and improving Westcove House, and renovating the Stables, Garden Cottage and Pier Cottage whilst retaining their character and charm. The income we receive from renting out our properties at Westcove when we ourselves are not here, helps with the ever-increasing costs involved with the upkeep of period properties, whilst hopefully enabling us to share this much loved, unique and magical place with others for many more generations to come.
We are aware that you, our visitors, will all have different requirements and interests, so we try to be as flexible as possible to ensure your stay at Westcove surpasses all your expectations.

What makes this property unique

Westcove and the surrounding area is teeming with history, character and charm...there is so much to see and do. If you choose to stay home the gardens and terraces are magical places for dining or relaxing whilst admiring the views over the harbour and hills beyond. Even sitting by a window, the scenery and light is always changing as cloud shadows move with the wind across the water and bog-lands. The stresses and cares of the world just melt away ....
