What visitors have said about Westcove Farmhouse Apartment |
| |

We came away needing some peace and found it in abundance. We have had blazing sun, roaring winds, torrential rain, all in a few days and have enjoyed them all, safely tucked up nice and cosy in the apartment when the weather blew angrily around us and out for walks in the sunshine.

We have travelled extensively, always preferring this kind of accommodation. Never have we been so happy and comfortable. Not only is Jane kind and intelligent but also highly creative and helpful. The area is beautiful of course but Jane’s home for travellers is the best part of this time here.

What a peaceful heaven you are running here with such warm and simple hospitality. 3 Days of blessed rest in this glorious corner of Ireland. We will come back and recommend your place, definitely special!

An idyllic spot - perfect for our honeymoon! It is perfectly kitted out with everything we needed - with gorgeous scenery and a successful fishing trip. Wonderfully friendly people and delicious chocolate cake!

We've had a blissfully relaxing week, soaking up the timeless scenery. Highlights are a drive around Valentia Island, cycling around Killarney National Park and passing time on the beach and in the gardens at Derrynane. We also loved doing short stretches of the Kerry Way. Jane thank you for everything. We absolutely loved this tranquil hideaway you have so charmingly designed and furnished. From the little reading corner to the pebble floored bathroom, its charming all the way! We'll definitely be recommending it as a retreat to our stressed out London friends!

Self catering doesn’t really happen when you have such an amazing bakery downstairs. Loved catching mackerel in the rain and sharing a feast in the midnight hour.
