About this cottage rental
Rockwell cottage is located along the Wild Atlantic Way in an idyllic setting on the Beara Peninsula. The cottage is slightly elevated to enjoy panoramic views overlooking Kenmare Bay, the open sea and the mountains beyond. It is a great option for families, couples or friends travelling the South West of Ireland. The cottage is furnished with everything you would need to make your holiday as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
Rockwell offers an enviable location, that is very private in it’s own grounds. The large garden is perfect for summer afternoons where you can use the BBQ grill and outdoor seating. The cottage is a great option for those seeking a peaceful holiday base. Here you can enjoy walking, cycling, golf, horse riding and water sports or indeed just relaxing and drinking in the wonderful views.
The Healy Pass, sub-tropical gardens at Derreen House and Gleninchaquin Waterfall are easily reached from the property. You are also within driving distance to places such as Killarney, the Iveragh Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry. Have an evening at the famous Teddy O Sullivans pier side pub approx. 1 and half miles from the cottage and join in with the craic!
Kenmare is a 12 mile drive where you will find shops, crafts, award winning restaurants and pubs with live Irish music most nights of the summer. Kenmare also hosts a Lidl, Aldi and Supervalu where you can purchase all your needs.
There is a Sailing/water sport adventure centre just a 6 mile drive away where you can have a meal in the Restaurant, book a trip around the Bay in the Star of Kenmare or even have a coffee while watching the world go by.

We had a wonderful second stay in this lovely and well-equipped cottage, which felt perfectly comfortable and welcoming. The breathtaking view over the Kerry mountains and Kenmare Bay makes it a truly special place to return to.

Lovely all around... The cottage was clean, comfortable, light and bright, with beautiful views of the bay. The setting was private and peaceful. A well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds helped make our long stay feel like a home-away-from-home ideal getaway.

This was our 3rd or 4th stay in the property but have been coming to the area for last 15yrs. The house is beautiful with everything you might need. The view is stunning. It is quiet and close to pub and restaurants. The Beara Peninsula has much to offer for all ages. We will be booking again.
