Westcove House, The Stables and Garden Cottage are three unique period properties, full of character, set in the same grounds, overlooking the beautiful Kenmare estuary on the southernmost point of the 'Ring of Kerry'. Georgian, Westcove House comfortably sleeps 10 while the converted Stables and wonderfully restored Garden Cottage sleep 11 and 5 respectively. Together, all three properties are ideal for family reunions, get-togethers, small weddings and celebrations of all kinds. The elegant dining room in Westcove House, comfortably seats 18 (maximum 26) and we can now seat up to 54 in our attractive games/function room...For larger numbers, a marquee for up to 80 can be erected on the spacious lawn in front of The Stables. Live music/dancing can be arranged for guests in our games/function room which is in The Stables building but is also accessible from the outside. This room is also ideal for holding talks, classes, activities and demonstrations for a wide variety of interest groups. Art groups delight in our north-facing studio, while walking groups can revive weary muscles in our sauna after a day's rambling. Golf courses in our area are among the best in the world and within an hour's drive you will find several top class facilities making Westcove also an ideal base for golfers.
As well as a superb choice of talented local musicians, we are lucky to have Bart, a well known story teller, Vinny, one of Ireland's best known natural history experts, and John and his lovely wife Kerryann who offer a choice of Seaweed 'walks, talks and feasts'...all of whom are happy to come to either Westcove House or The Stables games room - depending on numbers - to entertain you!
We can work with you to create a private, informal wedding for up to 80 people in a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by all your family and close friends. We can accommodate 26 (max 28) – Westcove House sleeps 10, The Stables 11 and Garden Cottage a further 5 - all within the same grounds, making it an ideal venue when you have family and friends coming from abroad, so the guests can combine the wedding with a few days holiday/reunion in this beautiful area.
We are able to provide 'in-house' catering for up to 55 guests for a formal celebration dinner in our function/games room in The Stables building. The tables and most of the chairs can then be cleared for 'dancing the night away' to a live band or disco.
For larger celebrations, a marquee for up to 80 guests can be erected on the lawn in front of The Stables. Although outside caterers would be needed for these numbers, Katherine and her team are happy to provide delicious home cooked meals in Westcove House itself....although the dining room only seats 26 max, informal 'buffet style' brunches, suppers and barbecues can also be arranged for up to 50 guests before or after the wedding night itself.
