“Fabulous little apartment right in the heart of Kenmare”

- Mrs Brennan, August 2020
Mr Mitchell September 2018

“An excellent location from which to explore Kerry and the remote areas of the Wild Atlantic Way.”

Cottage was perfectly placed for a short walk into Kenmare. It was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Parking was excellent. The owners were friendly and helpful. Some nice touches - like leaving a bottle of wine and a few basics for when you arrive. Plenty of information about the area and where to explore. If I was coming back to the area, or recommending to others, I’d have no hesitation in recommending Bell Heights as a great base.

- Mr Mitchell, September 2018
Mrs Draper September 2018

“Mainly the cottage was in an ideal situation for touring the region, knowing on your return you could walk for five minutes into the town where an extensive selection of bars and restaurants awaited you.”

Every person we met was polite talkative and helpful it restored faith in this modern society. Well done.

“Home From Home - With A View!”

We had a fabulous week in the apartment, which is beautifully kept and a real home from home. The location is perfect, with the views of the mountains and bay from inside the apartment and on the sun trap balcony. It’s a 5 minute walk into town, and central for drives around the Beara Peninsula, and the Ring Of Kerry to view the Skelligs. Derreen Gardens on the Beara Peninsular are well worth a visit, and Garinish Island, reached by ferry from Glengarriff was a great day out. Kenmare is a lovely town, with such a great choice of top quality food and drink that we never ate in the same place twice during the week, even though any of the places we went to were well worth a return visit. Special thanks to Kay and John for the “welcome pack” of essentials and a couple of luxuries, for all the information on the apartment and areas to visit, and in general for the week in such a luxurious, well kept and well located apartment. We’ve had a great week and it has flown by, doing something different every day.

“We had a lovely week in Kerry touring around and relaxing in Kenmare.”

The apartment was ideally situated and had everything we needed.

Mr Bass July 2018

“The setting was perfect, with a 5 minute walk into the town in one direction, and the view of the mountains and river in the other direction from the balcony.”

The property was immaculately kept, but also very homely, and the owner did everything to make us feel welcome and at home, from the welcome pack of goods on arrival to the various information leaflets and books in the apartment. It really was a beautiful place to stay, and we thank Kay and John for such a great week in Kenmare.

- Mr Bass, July 2018
Mr Cummins June 2018

“We had a great holiday and the apartment was just spot on.”

Kay&John met us on the saturday even though we arrived really early they let us drop of our bags then we headed into the town of Kenmare to get some lunch.Kay rang me when everything was ready and we went back to the apartment ,biscuits ,tea,milk and even a lovely bottle of wine were left for us which was a really nice touch.Discovering Kerry was a treat with so much to see but the highlight for us was the ring of Kerry drive ,spectacular scenery and some of the best beachs you will ever come across.Overall a superb holiday and cant wait to pick my next one with Sykes

Mrs Wallbaum May 2018

“We had a perfect week in Bell Heights Appartement.”

Kenmare is the perfect spot to explore the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara as well as many other beautiful spots in the area. The Appartement is in walking distance to shops, restaurants and pubs but remotedly enough to quietly enjoy the beautiful view and have a good rest after exploring the region. Very kind contact to the landlords! Highly recommendable accomodation.

Mrs Machado July 2017

“4 Bell Heights is a very comfortable apartment owned by a charming couple who welcomed us with much attention and care before leaving us on our own for one of the most wonderful holidays we have ever had (and we have had many !”

!!). It is ideally situated : 3 minutes' walk from the centre which can boast everything tourists can wish for without being too touristy ; at the beginning of Beara Peninsula ; half an hour's drive from Killarney and Glengarriff enabling visitors to discover all the breathtaking natural beauties of the area. There is not one point we could complain about.

- Mrs Machado, July 2017

“Second visit even better than the first.”

This was our second stay in this really lovely apartment. When we were there last year, we thought it was pretty special but this year, with the wonderful new shower ensuite to the main bedroom, it is just terrific. Even better than home from home! Again, we had a warm welcome from Kay and John who are great hosts and deservedly proud of their apartment. We were blessed with a bit of of an Irish heatwave for most of the week so made the most of the balcony with its wonderful view of the little bay and the mountains beyond. This apartment is ideally situated in Kenmare, close to all the amenities on offer but away from any noise. Loved it all so much that we are already planning our next visit.

- Colette C, June 2017
Mrs Oldham September 2016

“The only reason I would not book this property again is because we would choose anther location not because we were not happy with it.”

It was the nicest self catering we have ever been in and the gifts of milk, wine etc. We much appreciated. Kay also rang us to see if we were OK which I think was really kind of her. Kenmare is a lovely lively town.

- Mrs Oldham, September 2016

“This really is a little piece of Heaven”

We arrived in Kenmare very tired after a long week of travelling around Ireland visiting family and friends. However, the welcome we received from Kay and John was so warm we revived very quickly. Kay and John spent some time showing us around their lovely apartment and explained how everything worked; and also the very welcome gifts of wine, biscuits etc There is nothing I can think of that you would need that is not already provided and the bed in the main (ensuite) bedroom is so comfortable. Plenty of wardrobe space and in both bedrooms. There are books and DVDs should the weather turn bad and of course, a TV. There is also a radio. I think the best thing that I can same about Kay and John's apartment in Bell Heights is that I would live there in the morning given half a chance! Many thanks to this lovely couple for providing such a great service and sharing their 'little piece of Heaven'..

- Colette C, July 2016

We are absolutely over the moon that you had a fabulous stay at 4 Bell Heights Apartments, thank you for taking the time to tell us about it. To hear you describe the property as a "little piece of heaven" is music to our ears, we will be sure to pass your wonderful compliments along to the owners. We can't promise you'll be able to move in but we certainly hope you return for another holiday soon! Owner relations

“The Place to Stay for your holiday”

we were greeted with a warm Irish welcome by the owner who explained everything about the apartment. There was Milk tea coffee and biscuits and a bottle of wine left for us for the start of our stay in Kenmare. The apartment was well equipped and very clean with everything we needed for our stay. The town was only five minutes walk away with local shops and pubs to wander round. Who needs WIFI when you have the beauty of Kenmare and the surrounding countryside. A big thank you to the owners John and Kay. (Five Stars)

Mr Murphy May 2016

“This apartment was excellent.”

It was situated in a perfect area of Kenmare. Everything in the apartment was there for us. There was a warm welcome by the owner and everything about the apartment was explained to us fully. The property was well equipped. We had a fantastic holiday and will return again and would highly recommend it.

- Mr Murphy, May 2016
Mrs Magill June 2015

“In a great location, a 5 minute walk from the town centre.”

It also has a lovely park and pier both 5 minutes walk away. Had a great balcony to enjoy the view and read your book in the sunshine. A very comfortable and well laid out apartment. We have already recommended this to our friends, and we hope to return.

- Mrs Magill, June 2015
Mrs Pollard May 2015

“The apartment was excellent and very well equipped.”

The surrounding area was stunning, with the town only 5 a minute walk with shops, restaurants and pubs.

- Mrs Pollard, May 2015
Mrs Luscombe May 2015

“It was in a good position on the edge of Kenmare with easy access to the town.”

It was very comfortable and cosy with a kitchen area which was very well laid out so that 2 or 3 people could work together. The log fire was very welcoming. There was a good amount of fridge and freezer space. The property was light with good views and a patio. We would certainly use this property again.

- Mrs Luscombe, May 2015
Mr Mealy May 2015

“This is a most comfortable apartment in a nice complex.”

The views are fantastic and we hope to rebook soon for another break. The owner was there when we arrived and made us feel most welcome.

Mrs Cummins-Cosgrove August 2014

“Very comfortable and clean property.”

Beautiful view. This apartment also caught a lot of the sun on the balcony.

“Spot on location, good facilities and friendly owners”

The apartment is on the first floor with a balcony that has a mountain view and gets the sun most of the day - and yes, the sun shone quite a lot of the time we were there! The accommodation had everything we needed and we were made to feel at home by the owners, who met us when we arrived. We were tired after a long drive so a couple of friendly faces, a carton of milk with tea bags and bottle of wine were just what we needed. Kenmare is a bustling and lively little town with food and drink to suit most tastes and pockets (don't underestimate how early you need to book a table if you want a 'posh' meal), a couple of supermarkets , free wifi in a couple of cafes and pubs and commuter-bike-style cycle hire. But the best thing for us is it's location, at the base of the Beara and Iveragh peninsulas, with their mountains, lakes, Atlantic coasts, coves, beaches and great cycling & walking areas.

- NicktheVilla, August 2014
Mr Ranson July 2014

“We enjoyed our stay at 4 Bell heights very much.”

The holiday let was ideal; good parking, enjoyed the balcony. Very good accommodation; comfortably and very well furnished. 2 bedrooms, excellent lounge and kitchen. It was 5 minutes out of the town centre and near the estuary harbour. Well located. Kenmare is a good base for a holiday. Ring of Kerry, Bearra, Glengariff, Mucross House & Lakes, Mountains and coastal walks. Was good of Sykes to arrange the car ferry to Ireland from Holyhead as part of the package. No complaints at all. Can recommend it.

- Mr Ranson, July 2014
Mr Mifsud June 2014

“The welcome by the owners was brilliant and set us off in the right direction for the remainder of our holiday.”

A brilliant flat in a truly beautiful town. We loved Kenmare.

Mrs Fine June 2014

“It was a very comfortable property with good outlook and good parking.”

It was well positioned for walking into the town.

- Mrs Fine, June 2014
Mrs O'Brien April 2014

“There was a warm welcome from the owner which was nice after a long journey.”

It was comfortable and there was a lovely south facing balcony with fantastic views of mountains and water. It was a 5 minute walk into the main street where there were many restaurants and shops. For such a small town there was a large choice of evening entertainment. There were many local walks. It was ideally situated for sight seeing to The Ring of Kerry and the Beara Peninsula and many other places.

- Mrs O'Brien, April 2014

Jim and Ginny December 2012

“We felt like local citizens.”

The apartment was comfortable, nicely furnished, and well equipped. It was a pleasant, short walk to the town of Kenmare. The owner was very kind and made it clear that we should call her if we needed anything, including driving/directions advice to local points of interest. The neighbors were friendly and the parking was very convenient..we never worried about leaving our rented car overnight or for the day. This apartment was a delight to live in and, in short, was an excellent value. We are americans and this was our first visit to Ireland, but we felt that we belonged there.

“Ideal location for 3 peninsulas, quiet, but 5 min walk from live”

The owners were away, but there were clear instuctions and arrangements in place. The apartment was clean and spacious, and warmly furnished as opposed to feeling cold and clinical or shabby, which has been in our previous experiences. The apartment was very well equipped and the only reason it didn't have 5 stars, was because of lack of Wi Fi. However, the visitors book was full of useful tips. The location was perfect for us, quiet, overlooking Kenmare Lake, but a short walk away from lively bars, restaurents, quirky shops, and the other attractions the town has. My husband and I were staying with our teenage daughter, and there was plenty for us to do, wth our different interests, and it was great to have 2 bathrooms! All in all, it ranked as one of our top 5 holidays.

Walking distance to the very charming town of Kenmare. The overall convenience of living in a real home, almost as if we were Irish! The proximity to the various peninsulas was outstanding for sightseeing.

“It was perfect.”

The apartment was a dream - the owners so helpful and small touches like a bottle of wine, milk and basics were waiting for us. The standard of accommodation was superb. The views from our windows wonderful. Added joy was non-stop sunshine and some marvellous outings in the Ring - even a swim in the Atlantic! Your service was 100% thank you. All your staff were professional and most helpful. In all a great experience we intend to repeat! Thanks to all at Hogans.

“Comfortable and convenient location for visiting Kenmare and the south west of Ireland”

Bell Heights is in the town of Kenmare yet has views of Kenmare Bay and the Caha Mountains of the Beara peninsula. The apartment was very comfortable, the owners were helpful and parking was right by the door. Kenmare is our favorite town in Ireland and the Beara is beautiful. We would rent this unit again.

About the location

KENMARE, COUNTY KERRY

Glengarriff 19 miles; Killarney 25 miles.

A picturesque town situated on the stunning Bay of Kenmare, overlooking the gleaming Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful beaches, wildlife and lovely scenery abound here. The coastline is rugged with sandy beaches close by, while pebble beaches surround the bay itself. Kenmare is an interesting town, full of character and colour, with long winding streets setting the scene for farmers' markets, artists' galleries, lovely little boutiques and some of the best restaurants in Ireland! The town is also situated on the Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way. The famous town of Killarney has an abundance of attractions, pubs, festivals and its National Park is about 35 minutes’ drive away, and though there is much to see and do here, the pace of life is still leisurely and unhurried. With the Beara and Dingle Peninsulas nearby and the Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way to explore, makes this an ideal base for exploring Kerry to Cork. This great location is not to be missed!
