Truly a magical place to stay! The location is close enough to shops that you can get there with a little drive but far enough away that it is very peaceful and quiet. Clean and the owner is amazing and easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay again

Many thanks Craig for your lovely feedback! It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we hope to welcome you back again sometime in the near future.
We had an amazing stay, with Rowan House as a peaceful home base for exploring the Ring of Kerry and Dingle. Would stay again at this clean, updated farmhouse with more than enough space for the four of us.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rowan House. It was a very comfortable place to stay a bit longer during our otherwise dynamic roadtrip in Ireland. The area is super calm but both the Dingle peninsula and Kilarney are within easy driving distance. The house is cosy, comfortable and with personal character. Thank you for having us!

Thank you for your feedback Michiel! We hope to welcome you back with Trident Holiday Homes again soon.
Ann was a very friendly and helpful host. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed during our stay of two weeks. There is so much lovely decoration in the house so that we soon felt quite comfortable. In addition, the house is really well situated - shops, pubs, Killarney and its wonderful sites can be reached within less than half an our. We can absolutely recommend Rowan House.
We had a wonderful stay at the Rowan house. Ann was lovely to communicate with and always responsive.
The house slept 7 of us comfortably and the location was perfect for our adventures. Being outside of a town it was nice and tranquil.
Everything was clean and I 100% recommend this property.

Our stay at Rowan House exceeded our expectations. The photos don’t do justice to the beautiful details and sense of warmth in the home. Our host was wonderful and if we could have stayed longer we would have.

What an incredible find! This house exceeded all our expectations. It was cozy, comfortable, and absolutely spotless.

Would recommend
It was warm, comfortable and very clean.
The only problem we had was that we couldn't use the two showers (upstairs and downstairs) at the same time as one would be cold. It was very peaceful and quiet but a bit too isolated for our liking.

Perfect country house.
Brilliant base for the Rally of the Lakes in Killarney. Quiet location close to major towns with excellent outdoor area, secluded private parking and a great communal kitchen space. Everything we needed was there with lots of nice personal touches by the amazing owner, Ann. A real gem, we'll be back.
Nowt, it was great.
