Lovely area, short drive to Kenmare Town and to a pebble beach in the other direction. The houses are located in a quiet area with lots of green space. Milena who managed the property is extremely helpful and efficient. One small negative, the properties are advertised as having paid use of kenmare bay hotel leisure centre. Due to covid19, the facilities are only available to hotel residents for 2021. That might change but worth checking beforehand if it's part of the draw of booking. Nearest public pool is killarney. Swimming is possible at the beach nearby though.



Excellent location for exploring

Excellent location to explore the Ring of Kerry and Ring of Beara. Close to the vibrant town of Kenmare, the Star activity centre for the kids and lovely beaches of white strand and Derrynane. Great base for cycling trips also to Molls Gap and Sneem with amazing views.

this place was amazing - definitely will be returning - location is fab, small playground for kids and walkway through to small beach and Dunkerron house B+B bar + lounge - just amazing cannot recommend highly - lovely people to deal with - only thing is you have to leave the house by 10am on day of departure - understand that house has to be cleaned before new arrivals but maybe an hour or two later will do as trying to pack up and clean the house I was up at 8.30 - wrecked.x

The house offered everything you need for a comfortable holiday stay. However some kitchen tools could be replaced by new ones and the oven needs a proper cleaning. Apart from that everything worked well and we found a lot of material what to visit. Also it was easy to make a fire to heat the place and enjoy the atmosphere. We would come back again.

Our stay at Waterstone Cottage could not have been improved! On arrival we were met by Derek and Mary who gave us such a warm welcome. They explained how to operate some of the things in the house, gave us some local tips and left a starter pack of food, so lunch was on them! Even the weather was great all week.

The house was extremely clean, wonderfully presented and had great character. The view was fantastic and our favorite part of the holiday was opening the large patio doors and taking in the view with a coffee or glass of wine in hand!

As a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the area, Waterstone Cottage will make your stay a real treat!

Could not ask for better. Service and house were excellent. If you want a relaxing break in Kenmare in the heart of Kerry this should be the only property that you consider

As a family of six, we were delighted with the facilities in Waterstone Cottage. Our first reaction was that the house was very clean, bright, airy and very well prepared and presented for our arrival. It was spacious and had all the mod cons needed including free WiFi (our children were delighted) . The house was beautifully furnished and had a really cosy feel to it, helped by the large wood burning stove in the living room. Derek, who manages the property, had even gone to the trouble of buying bread, milk, tea etc for our arrival.(Thank you) He also showed us the workings of the house and took time to suggest suitable outings and places of interest for the family. The views of the open valley and surrounding hill side were fantastic-especially when viewed from the open verandas. The beds were really comfortable and the rural location ensured a quiet and peaceful sleep at night.We loved our stay and felt very much at home here. The large kitchen table was the focus point for the family in the evenings. The location is ideal as a base to explore Kilkenny, Wexford, Waterford, Carlow and beyond. We loved our stay.

From the onset Derek and Mary were the most gracious and helpful hosts. The house is beautiful, well stocked, and what a view. St. Mullins is a cozy hamlet and everyone we came in contact was nothing but hospitable. The town is also central to many of the attractions and places one would want to visit. We strongly recommend the Waterstone Cottage and its well worth every penny. Thanks again to Derek and Mary for all their help in making this a GREAT vacation! Can't wait to go back.

Great home. Great people. Great experience.



A wonderful and relaxing stay at Waterstone cottage in St. Mullins

I had a really pleasant stay in St. Mullins together with my 2 children (13 and 16). The cottage was charming with a great mixture of tradition and modern comfort. We did not miss anything and were so pleased that each of us could have our own bathroom. The surroundings are great and peaceful. This made us change our original plans as a matter of fact: We enjoyed the cottage more and did travel less.
It was a real pleasure to be welcomed by Derek and Mary. They are charming people and had nice attentions to us throughout our 2 week stay. They were caring and still not intrusive which was absolutely perfect for us.
The area around St. Mullins is great to visit, the main cities have a lot to offer. Wexford is not far away. Dublin by train is really convenient. Coming from and going back to Rosslare happens to be really easy which is definitely an advantage in case of tight schedule.
By the way, walking along the river Barrow or playing golf nearby will remain among the many nice moments we had.
Thinking of it while writing this, we only have great moments to remember and I realize that the comfortable house and the cheerful caretakers did contribute a lot to the good memories. Beautiful and cheerful Ireland did the rest.



Could be nice but place needed a good clean

When we arrived, we had to ring and ask for the bed clothes to be changed as they smelled & obviously had not been cleaned from last people staying (think we were 1st rentals since house being done up but there were def people there before us). The place had not been hoovered or dusted either as it was covered in dog hair. The single room also has a terrible smell in it coming from the drawers do couldn't put clothes in it. The house itself was fine and but had no table and chairs out the back which you would expect for a house being rented for €750 a week.

Waterstone cottage is a little piece of paradise, set in beautiful mountains with breathtaking views all around. St. Mullins is a hamlet with a lovely welcoming pub and a tea house, on the river Barrow, that serves a variety of freshly made meals and amazing cakes. The house itself is very comfortable, like a home from home. It has a log burner, a dishwasher(!) and a very well fitted kitchen. There is a washing machine in the shed outside and wifi. Derek and Mary, the proprietors, live close by and are very willing to come at a moments notice if you have any questions or need help. I felt very well looked after while I was there.

Some suggestions would be to put a gate at the driveway, as I was always concerned that the children may run out onto the road while playing in the garden. Mary said that they were planning to put some kind of slide/swing-set in the garden too, which would be useful for keeping the kids occupied. I would also suggest a dvd player, as Irish weather is not always conducive to outdoor activities and there are only 2 tv channels.

I plan to go back as soon as I can!
