“Our second time holidaying in this lovely apartment, we really enjoyed ourselves again.”

The owners , John and Kay warmly welcomed us on arrival and showed us around the apartment. It was very clean and homely, and we appreciated the welcome pack including a bottle of wine. It is idealy positioned being only a short five minute stroll to pubs, restaurants and shops. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms modern and bright . I would definitely recommend this apartment in Kenmare and hope to return again in the future.

Susan August 2022

“A good location great for touring the Ring of Kerry, Ring of Beara and Killarny National Park.”

The road that runs past the property was busier than expected. The lack of WiFi at the property caused us a few issues. The flat was comfortable clean and well equipped. Leaving us with a bottle of wine, milk and pack of biscuits was much appreciated.

Christopher September 2021

“On our second visit to Bell Heights we were delighted Kay and John had maintained a high standard and made a number of upgrades to bathrooms etc.”

The welcome bottle of wine and milk were very welcome. This is a delightful home from home with gated private parking and just five minutes walk from Kenmare, a lovely park and lake over the road and the nearby pier. Superb place to visit the glorious Beara Peninsula before returning to a cosy pad or treating yourself to a tasty supper at the numerous restaurants in the town. We would recommend Davitts for locally caught cod or mouth watering sirloin steak. We’ll done Kay and John. You’ve got it right again. Chris and Aileen. Brighton.

“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.

- Pamela, September 2018
Mike 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.

David 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.

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

“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.

Edwige 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.

- Edwige, July 2017
Pauline 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.

- Pauline, September 2016
Martin May 2016

- Martin, May 2016

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

- Marion, June 2015

Marion 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.

Arthur 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.

“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.

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.

All your staff were professional and most helpful. In all a great experience we intend to repeat! Thanks to all at Hogans.

The town is also situated on the Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way.
