House was fully equipped and extremely clean and comfortable. Location is perfect for the Kerry and Bearea penninsulas. Great hosts, all off them. Go Margaret.
We had a wonderful and lovely time in this cozy house. Our host was very kind and friendly. The kitchen was well stuffed with everything you could possibly need 😊
We enjoyed our stay very much!
Thank you so much 😊
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
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!
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.
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.
The home was perfect for my sister and I. It was very comfortable. It was centrally located for our day trips to Killarney, Beary Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry.
Lovely bungalow in a beautiful surrounding with great scenery. Very quiet and tranquil yet near enough to the bustle of Kenmare and right on the Ring of Kerry

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
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.
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!
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!
Super freundliche Gastgeber.Sauberes Haus. Frühstück auf der Terrasse.Es hat an nichts gefehlt.Es sind niedrige Waschbecken in den Bädern, da das Haus rollstuhlgerecht eingerichtet ist.
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.
Die Lage ist gut, wenn man ein Auto hat. In der direkten Umgebung kann man leider nicht viel unternehmen.
Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht und ist gut beheizbar. Der Kontakt zu der Vermieterin war zuverlässig und freundlich.
Liegt in ruhiger Umgebung mit traumhaftem Blick und ist voll ausgestattet. Sauber und gepflegt. Es blieben keine Wünsche offen. Das WLAN-Internet war gerade leicht defekt, wird aber sicher schnell repariert.
Das Ferienhaus ist sehr schön und ruhig gelegen. Es ist mit allem ausgestattet, was notwendig ist inklusive Waschmaschine und Trockner. Es ist wohnlich und gemütlich eingerichtet, der Kamin wurde von uns fast täglich genutzt. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war problemlos. Sie waren immer freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Ganz lieben Dank Monica und Margaret für den schönen Aufenthalt.
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.
