Our favorite
My family and I travelled through Ireland and then Edinburgh, Scotland and of the three rentals we stayed at in Ireland this was our favorite. We met Mary upon arrival who greeted us with a warm welcome (and some fruit cake) and gave us a tour of the rental. We were a weary group of travelers who very much appreciated the welcome, the cake and the opportunity to catch up on some much-needed rest. The rental property is beautiful! We had five people in our party and the lodging allowed for us to be together but also to spread out and get that quiet space/time that each of us needed. We were able to have family time together but have some space to ourselves. The rental was easy to find and there were no issues with parking. Town and the food stores were a short drive away. We cooked several meals at the rental and had all of the appropriate cooking tools. We highly recommend this rental; you won't be disappointed.

John and Mary are so welcoming. The house is so well equipped, very clean, spacious and cosy. Beautiful views and gardens and is a great base to explore Kerry. It is about 10minute drive to Killarney. So peaceful and tranquil. We will definitely be back.

Perfect location inside Killarney
The property was all we thought and more. John and Mary were the perfect owners, as was their dog, Roma. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5 to spread out. The backyard was a great place for our kids to run and play with Roma, and view the mountains.

Wonderful place to stay.
We arrived early and we are lucky enough to meet the owners of the property. Great quaint little house with everything that you would need. The owners made us feel very welcome and took us through the property and answered any questions we had. This is very close to the center of town while still giving you the feel of being out in the country. Met the neighbors and a local taxi driver all who were wonderful. When we get back to Ireland we will definitely reach out to stay here again.
