We were given great directions to the cottage and picking up the key was very easy. The cottage was clean, comfortable, well equipped and in a beautiful setting. Margaret was readily available to answer any questions we had. The location was close enough to Kenmare to make it a short drive for groceries, restaurants and pubs, entertainment and shopping. Even more, the location was great for exploring the Ring of Kerry, Killarney and the beautiful interior of the Iveragh Peninsula. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others who want to explore this area of Ireland.

Delightful, homey, fab location

We absolutely loved our stay here. It's used (I presume) as a holiday home by the owner, so there's everything you could possibly need in the kitchen (even some basic consumables left by previous guests/ the owner) and everything feels so comfortable and homely. The view is really lovely (even though the garden across the road has obscured a bit of the view) and it's so quiet and private, yet so brilliantly situated close to the Ring of Kerry and not far from Kenmare. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

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.

Zeer rustig en comfortabel verblijf in een mooie streek

Ruim huis met veel licht, alles gelijkvloers, 2 toiletten en badkamers. Prima uitgeruste keuken, alles voorhanden om te koken. Heel praktisch was de wasmachine en droogkast droogrek met wasspelden. De douches werken prima, maar hebben geen scherm - ideaal voor rolstoelgebruikers, maar je moet uitkijken dat je niet de hele badkamer natmaakt. (Een kleine dweilactie helpt wel)We boekten erg last minute, communicatie prima en we hadden een aangenaam verblijf! Dank je wel!
