Location
Bayview Cottage is perfectly located for exploring the outdoors. Go north for the scenic Killarney National Park, south to the Gougane Barra Forest Park, or get on your bike and follow the Beara Kilgarvan cycling route, which runs through Kilgarvan and is only 1.5 miles from the property. Bayview Cottage is a delightful three-bedroom holiday home that provides traditional comfortable and cosy accommodation for up to six people, and makes the ideal base for exploring this beautiful area of Ireland. The town of Kenmare and its pubs, restaurants and shops is very close to the cottage, as are the fun water sports available at Kenmare Bay.
Kilgarvan is situated in the middle of farming country in County Kerry, Ireland, on the road between Kenmare and Clonkeen. The Beara Kilgarvan cycling route passes right through the village, offering wonderful cycling opportunities to those who like to get about on two wheels. The bustling town of Kenmare is eight miles away, and offers good restaurants, arts and crafts shops, and welcoming pubs that play traditional Irish music. The nearby 30-mile long Kenmare Bay offers water sports opportunities including kayaking and sailing, or visitors can take to the waves on the 'Seafari' and spend a happy time watching the Kenmare Seal Colony.
County Kerry is a mystical and unspoilt part of Ireland, with spectacular natural beauty and a fascinating history. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, it features many sandy beaches, rocky inlets and stunning peninsulas.
Reviews of Bayview Cottage
"This is a beautiful cottage set on the side of a hill giving a fantastic view over the valley below, whether the weather is fine or not, but secluded and sheltered from the wind. It was equipped with everything that we needed for our stay, and much more besides. The cottage is situated perfectly if you are into astronomy, cycling, walking, observing wildlife, or anything outdoors. Mr and Mrs Lynch were excellent hosts, and as they live in the cottage just up the hill, were on hand to check in on us every few days, to see if we needed anything, and to be there in the event that we had any problems. We took advantage of the plentiful supply of seasoned logs that had been left for us to have an open fire a few evenings, and never once closed the curtains on the spectacular view of the valley that all the rooms enjoy."

"We loved the location and the view that the property offers over the entire surrounding area all the way down to the bay. Our hosts were extremely helpful and had time to explain everything to us on arrival and checked on us during the stay. The house is very well equipped and we were not short of anything during our stay, including a plentiful supply of seasoned wood for the open fire. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a quiet place to get away to rural Ireland."

"Extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful cottage owners. Bit of a drive to get anywhere, but perfect for a get-away-from-it-all holiday. "
