About Your Host

Jane Urquhart

 

I moved to Kerry 32 years ago, having lived previously in the UK, South Africa and Australia. I purchased Westcove Farmhouse some 22 years ago, then a run down two up two down farmhouse and gradually over the years renovated, built and developed a small homebased business with a small arts and craft shop and an extension offering first class guest accommodation.

I have travelled extensively all over the world and really enjoy meeting and welcoming my guests to this lovely part of Ireland. Because I live on site in the adjacent farmhouse, I am always available to help with information and recommendations for eating out, local activities and places to see.

Having been a local food producer for many years, I am also a mine of information on local markets, organic vegetable growers and where to buy the best seafood and meat.

I am passionate about wildlife and nature and trying to do my bit with recycling, composting and reducing my carbon footprint. At Westcove, the variety of bird life is astonishing – just read the review of the birds two guests saw in one week!

 

Our stay allowed us to immerse ourselves in the stunning scenery and enjoy the abundant wildlife

My other passion is music – I play piano and piano accordion and often play with my very talented friend Pat Waters in the local pubs – Keatings Bar and The Black Shop.

Occasionally during the Summer we will hold special music afternoons with a buffet lunch in Westcove Garden.
