White Heather Farm

Three Star

Glengarriff Road, Kenmare, Kerry Show on a map

Welcome

The Lovett Family have been welcoming guests for nearly 40 years. The White Heather Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast is located on 100 acres farmland close to Kenmare town, Co. Kerry, in a picturesque quiet area with stunning mountain views. The Lovett Family have been farming the land for generations. The old stone farm cottage still exists. Cattle mainly Hereford & Charolais, sheep namely Suffolk & Scotch are reared on the farm. We grow our own vegetables. Many of our guests take a stroll before or after breakfast to the farm, enjoying the panoramic views on the way. The more adventurous take a picnic to the top of the mountain and walk along the sheep tracks. The River Sheen flows through the farm on its way to Kenmare Bay. Spending time on a real working farm is great fun & educational. Pets allowed, children, walkers and cyclists most welcome.
