Beautiful, well organised cottage

We had a very good stay in a beautiful scenery. The cottage was very well organised but the scrubs were so grown : we did not see the bay. Must have been a great view

Great location near Kenmare

Beautiful newly remodeled home with modern appliances, Wi-Fi, and washer/dryer. Owner and property manager were both very efficient and reliable about keeping in touch with us and getting us the information we needed to get checked in and out. Margaret also gave us good Kenmare area restaurant recommendations. We had a great time and loved the location! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful house, well equipped, beautiful garden and location

We had an amazing week in the house! It is the perfect base for many tours. Do not miss the late night kayak tour in Templenoe. We saw bioluminescence, really incredible! We would love to come back! Thanks for the great time, Manuela & family

Nice house for a time off and work

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.

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!

Ein tolles Haus

Das Haus liegt mit toller Aussicht etwas abseits vom Ort. Es ist sehr gut ausgestattet, die Betten waren bequem, es gab zusätzlich Heizköper für kalte Tage und auch in der Küche haben wir alles gefunden, was man zum selber kochen braucht. Der Kontakt für den Check in war sehr nett und hat uns direkt noch einen tollen Tip gegeben. (Boatshaus). Der Garten ist wunderbar und die Bäume haben geblüht. Wir haben uns rundrum wohlgefühlt.

Kennmare

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.

Maison spacieuse et confortable.

Nous étions 2 couples et avons passé 6 nuits dans cette maison de Templenoe que nous avons beaucoup appréciée. L'équipement est au top et la maison est très bien située pour découvrir le Kerry. La localité de Kenmare - située à environ 15 mn en voiture - offre toutes les commodités et dispose de nombreux pubs et restaurants.

Großzügiger Bungalow in toller Lage am Ring of Kerry

Das Haus ist geräumig, die Küche perfekt ausgestattet, das Wohnzimmer, die Terrasse und der weitläufige Garten laden zum Verweilen und Genießen ein. Die Betten waren sehr angenehm. Die Schlüsselübergaben und der Kontakt mit der Homesitterin war sehr unkompliziert und freundlich. Sie gab uns wertvolle Tipps für Infrastruktur, Kulinarik und Musik. Der Kontakt mit der Gastgeberin im Vorfeld war ebenfalls sehr freundlich und informativ. Vielen Dank an beide!!

Schönes großes Objekt mit riesigem Garten und guter Ausstattung

Großzügiges und gut ausgestattetes Ferienhaus mit schöner ruhiger Lager unweit von Kenmare. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt und schön bewachsen. Dort blühen viele verschiedene Pflanzen. Leider verdecken die Hecken im Sommer den Blick auf die Bucht und das Wasser, da diese schon recht hoch gewachsen sind. Die Matratzen könnten für unseren Geschmack weicher sein. Für Familien mit Kindern sehr gut geeignet.
