White Heather Farmhouse

Wonderful place to call "home base" for a couple of days. Shiela was a wonderful host- the perfect balance of motherliness and no-nonsense. The memory of her Irish breakfast still makes my mouth water, and I think I'm always going to miss her home-made bread! Probably the most memorable thing about the Shiela was how accommodating she was in respect to our comfort. On our second day there, I asked her if it was okay if I buy some firewood so I could light a fire in the sitting room to read books from her modest library to my son by the warmth of a fire (perfect after those rainy days!). Upon returning from our adventures that day, I smiled as I saw that smoke was already rising from her chimney. She had made a fire ready for us (who knows how long she kept it up), and she made sure that there was always a fire going at night for the rest of our stay. Probably one of my favorite memories from our tour of Ireland will be reading by the fire with my son. Thank you, Shiela!!

This was our second time staying at the White Heather Farm House in Kenmare. We enjoyed it so much on our first trip to Ireland in 2018, when we took our second trip to Ireland in June of 2022, we made sure to stay there again. We love to hear and see the sheep on the farm. Unfortunately, while in Kenmare, my wife became ill and Shelia went out of her way to help us. She connected us to a local doctor. She continued to care for us even after our checkout time. Shelia treated us like we were family. Shelia provides wonderful food and sleeping accommodations. I would highly recommend the White Heather Farm House for anyone traveling in Ireland and planning a stop in Kenmare.
