Owner Insight

"Being involved in a very busy leisure business, Kilmorie has been the perfect getaway for us. From the minute we turn up the driveway, past the beautifully landscaped gardens - and finally meet the sea - we are at complete rest. The view from the sub penthouse level is an ever changing canvas, we spent hours from the balcony watching the boats, tides & sea life. All you can hear at night is the lapping of the waves against the coves below - a complete recharge for the soul.

Busy home life and an ever expanding family has meant we aren’t getting the use we once did, but no doubt in the future we will be back when time permits."
