We kept our window open and enjoyed a nice breeze off the bay, and yet it is quiet and away from the pedestrians and tourists of downtown. The breakfasts were fabulous and the five of us enjoyed them so much. A wonderful way to start your day before heading out. Absolutely top quality. Jenny and Les make you feel very welcome. It is charming and restful.

My friend and I stayed with Les and Jenny during the second half of our adventure in Ireland, and…read morethis was hands-down our favorite Bed and Breakfast on the trip! Les is a former bobby cop from England, and Jenny is just as sweet as can be. They welcomed us with tea and treats, and Les gave us the Dingle "run down," with plenty of ideas of where we should visit while we were there. The beds were THE MOST COMFORTABLE we encountered on the trip, and the breakfast was huge. We definitely left feeling like we'd made two new friends on our trip. :)

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.

Westcove House is a wonderful place to stay in the Ring of Kerry. The accommodations are cozy and…read morebeautiful. I personally stayed in Pier Cottage, right on the water. 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!

While walking the Dingle Way, we had dinner at O'Connor's Pub, and it was an incredible experience!…read moreThe owner recommended the roasted lamb, and I must say, it was absolutely delicious. The pizza was also quite good and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience all the more enjoyable. However, what truly made the evening unforgettable were the owner's stories - such good craic. His humor and anecdotes added an extra level of warmth to the already cozy atmosphere of the pub. We definitely recommend you go in whenever you're in the village.

It's a short walk or drive into the cute town of Ballyhahill, which has a post office, pub, and grocery store. One of the best parts of the cottage is its owners, Jim and Marie O'Brien, who live on the property close by on their dairy farm! They are the sweetest people and went above and beyond to make our trip in Ireland so special, and even included my family in one of their social events in town, which was probably the most "authentic" experience we had there. Marie had baked delicious scones for our arrival and a fire was going in the fireplace, and both she and Jim regularly checked on us to make sure everything was going well. We were here in November so did not spend much time outside, but in the summer it would be great to walk or ride bikes around the property and into town. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and very up to date, with a washer/dryer, awesome steam shower and even a sauna! It comfortably sleeps 6 people in its 3 bedrooms. It has a pool table and TV/DVD player as well. Although the cottage does not have Wi Fi at the moment, that turned out to be one of the best parts because we were able to remove ourselves from constantly checking emails and just relax. If you do need internet, there are several libraries nearby. I miss this cute little cottage! If you are looking for a holiday home in Limerick, definitely stay here!
