Dereenaraig - Self-catering cottage in Co. Kerry
Castlecove, , Co. Kerry
Munster,
Irlanda
At this homely cottage beneath the Kerry Dark Sky Reserve, you can explore sandy beaches by day and gaze at galaxies by night. Built centuries ago this rustic, whitewashed farmhouse is circled by fields and hills. Walks start from the door and you're a kilometre from both the coast and the Ring of Kerry. The closest beach White Strand is stunning, popular with locals but never crowded.
The kitchen is well kitted out with everything you need to rustle up hearty meals. A wood-burner warms the big, old-fashioned dining room, there's a comfy sitting room with a TV for rainy days, and three cosy bedrooms upstairs.
Families will love the sandy beaches - snorkel, kayak, paddle board. Take a trip to the Skellig Islands, an ancient monastic settlement; wander around chic Waterville; visit Derrynane house. The Wild Atlantic Way and the Ring of Kerry are yours to explore.

Kitty O'Shea:
- Beautiful scenery and unspoilt beaches. Mountains tumble into the sea and are fringed by rugged shores and unspoilt beaches. A 20 minute stroll from the house will take you to the secluded Cove Strand another 15 minutes takes you to White Strand Beach.
- Derrynane House and National Park are just 6 miles away. As well as the Daniel O’Connell museum and beautiful gardens the park has walks around the woodlands, a fairy trail, tea rooms and one of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland.
- Sea sports, nature trails, horse riding and fishing are all available in the local area. From motorised kayaking to exploring rock pools, golf to sea, river and lake fishing, there are a wide array of ways to explore and discover Kenmare Bay.
- The Iveragh Peninsula is abundant with historic sites including rock art, stone circles, ring forts and castles. Books are provided in the house to help you discover the hidden history of the area.
- Kerry produces some of the best sea food in Europe and local fare is outstanding. Locally there are several great bars, restaurants and Tea Rooms. Many cafes and restaurants in the local towns include local specialities on the menu.
