Coopers

This cosy, traditional property, set in a quiet country lane, is the perfect base from which to explore the splendour of southwest Ireland’s rugged coast and mountains. Sleeping seven guests, and with shops, pubs and restaurants in the colourful town of Kenmare, just 2 miles away, it is ideal for a family or group of friends. Long-distance walking trails, part of the Wild Atlantic Way, converge on Kenmare, and you can drive or take a tour bus for a spectacular ride along the famous Ring of Kerry. Head to Kenmare’s adventure centre, Star Outdoors, for thrilling water sports and boat cruises around Kenmare Bay. Family-run Dromquinna Stables (3 miles) offers peaceful horse riding for all abilities.

White stone walls and ceiling beams set a welcoming scene in the lounge/diner, with a fine period fireplace, comfortable sofas and a traditional rocking chair, as well as a TV and dining table. Large patio doors open onto the garden, and the country-style kitchen features a handy dining nook. The ground floor also houses a delightful king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. A spiral stairway leads to two pretty bedrooms: a double plus a single bed, and a double with a shower room.

The large, enclosed garden, complete with a patio, outdoor furniture and mature trees, is a lovely spot for relaxing, with a splendid mountain view to the rear.
