There's lots to do and see justa a short drive from here. The approaching roadway, though no fault of the Park itself, however is not particulariily safe for cyclists or pedestrians. The adjoining seasonal shop is well stocked with most everything essential and has a new cafe with outdoor seating.

Honestly such a cute castle/ hotel experience! Made the trip out to Tralee just to stay here and I…read morewill say it was a very relaxing and quaint evening. The vibes are great (it is known to be ~haunted~ however sadly did NOT see any ghosts:((( The staff were super friendly, the grounds have irish wolfhounds roaming around, and the food at the restaurant(s) within the castle were very good. I do wish there was more to do/see around the property and the town, but was a great spot to just relax. The dinner selection was GREAT, but the breakfast was just okay/mediocre (some of the buffet items were a little old/ stale it seemed like).

Our unseen guest was a little playful. She kept knocking the tea mugs onto the floor when I was trying to make tea. I finally put them at the back of the table and blocked them in. In the morning while making tea and the mugs were protected our visitor pushed the remote control off the table. Just a little fun at me. Just glad there was nothing in the mugs. I heard there were Irish wolf hounds in residence but never saw them.

Let's talk about Westcove House…read more It's ridiculous. It's magical. It's idyllic. It's one of the happiest places on earth. The grounds include the 18th century main house, the garden cottage, the stables, and pier cottage. The land encompasses expansive lawns and lanes, an inlet, and Westcove Harbour. Friendly goats and sheep roam the the property, and adorable seals swim and bark in the harbor. Accommodations are appointed absolutely beautifully here. The main house bedrooms are decorated with period furniture and antiques that evoke 1700s Irish manor house, and the downstairs dining and sitting rooms, as well as the bar and loft area, are a mixture of modern and antique. The house is just lovely and so comfortable. A partially sunken sitting room houses a fireplace perfect for those incredible-smelling peat fires in cooler weather, and the bar area includes a fireplace as well. The stables, garden cottage and pier cottage are all outfitted in more modern decor; the stables include a large, bright, airy game room with darts, table tennis, foosball. On one of our visits, the hosts (whose cousin, Susannah Adlington owns Westcove) threw a traditional Irish ceilidh in the gameroom with a live musicians playing jigs and reels! Adding to the amazing experience of staying awhile at Westcove House is the food. Breakfast and dinner are prepared by the wonderful, friendly staff at Westcove, Katherine and Bernie (there's also the lovable Michael, the groundsman). The food is delicious and beautifully presented, family style, in the formal dining room. One year we were here for Thanksgiving -- Katherine and Bernie, obviously never having celebrated American Thanksgiving before -- did meticulous research about traditional Thanksgiving foods and prepared a spread that outdid any I've seen before! The attention to detail at Westcove House is impeccable. Westcove's location right on the Ring of Kerry makes it a perfect base for exploring southern Ireland. Cork, Shannon, Bunratty or Blarney Castle, the Skelligs, Kenmare, Cobh, the Cliffs of Moher, Waterford, Killarney Forest are all potential day trips. We've *loved* our stays at Westcove. They've been some of the best and most memorable vacations we've had. There's no better place in the British Isles.

Just gorgeous to wake up every morning and have coffee outside while taking in the beautiful bay and go for a late night (albeit cold) swim right outside your door! My other family members stayed in the other guest houses and the main house and EVERYONE was thrilled with the accommodations. The Stables is great for families, with a game room and big lawn in front for playing. The food was always delicious. How wonderful to have Jane's Bakery literally right next door so you could have fresh pastries in the morning and grab some lamb guinness pies (mmm!!) for dinner. Everything is high tech with wifi in all the houses and great kitchen equipment. Amazing sites nearby like Derryname Beach and Staigue Fort and also great day-trip accessibility to other cool destinations like Castle Donovan or The Skelligs. HIGHLY recommend this place and will DEFINITELY be returning!
