Cottages in County Kerry for self-catering holidays and long weekend breaks
As you might expect, such a spectacular and varied natural landscape is perfect for outdoor activities such as salmon and trout fishing; walking in the MacGillycuddy Reeks; horse riding; golf; cycling and watersports such as windsurfing, sailing, boating, canoeing and scuba diving. Kerry is also perfect for birdwatching as the area provides a great range of habitats and is home to a large number of interesting species. Book a holiday cottage in Kerry as a base for your outdoor activities and have somewhere comfortable to return to in the evenings.
Kerry is such an ancient land and there are plenty of heritage sites to discover. One of the most haunting is Skellig Michael. Here the ruins of an old monastic settlement perch on a cliff edge some 600 feet above the fury of the Atlantic ocean. The view is spectacular but life on this exposed cliff top must have been harsh. Bog Village may be unpleasantly named but it is a heritage site which captures the spirit of traditional Irish life. The site consists of 6 traditional Irish thatched houses and allows the visitor to experience historical Irish rural life.

Kerry is an ancient land where tranquil green plains, set with sparkling lakes and rivers, rise up to Ireland's highest mountains, the MacGillycuddy Reeks. The area is known for its natural beauty, a place of mystery with ancient stone circles, enchanting monasteries and romantic castles. The Atlantic coastline is equally spectacular with rugged precipitous cliffs interrupted by sweeping bays of golden sand.
Kenmare is an attractive 17th century town set between the coast and the MacGillycuddy Reeks. The essence and atmosphere of the 17th century has been preserved in the original limestone buildings and the town is now popular with visitors and well supplied with excellent restaurants. It is an ideal base for exploring the scenic Ring of Kerry (photograph on right).
