Iveragh Heights is a family-run bed and breakfast located on the Ring of Kerry at Eastern end of Cahersiveen. The house is set back from the road and rests on a height, providing great views of the surrounding area.
Fáilte Ireland has graded the house as a 3-Star Bed and Breakfast. All of the six bedrooms are ensuite with showers. Each room also has its own Television and tea and coffee making facilities. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the house.
The Guest Lounge has commanding views across the River Ferta to Knocknadobar Mountain. Guests are also welcome to sit outside in the garden and enjoy the long evenings in Summer. The course for the annual Cahersiveen horse races in September is across the road and can easily be viewed from the front garden.
Although Iveragh Heights is no longer on the Kerry Way since it was re-routed in 2010, walkers can avail of free transport to and from the trail. It is possible to avoid the extra Cahersiveen Spur by arranging collection from Foilmore and to be left back at Coars in the morning.
Walkers and cyclists who would prefer to relax at the house for the evening, can pre-arrange an evening meal with advance notice. Packed lunches can also be organised for the morning. Luggage can be transported to the next accommodation on the Kerry Way.
Walkers looking to take a day off at this half-way point on the trail can have a trip to the Skelligs organised for them. Alternatively, bicycles can be hired in the village and a trip to Valencia Island comes highly recommended.
Iveragh Heights is a holder of a Green Tourism Silver Award.
