Wonderful location in Ring of Kerry

Thanks for a lovely stay. We had a great stay and the house was beautiful, large and spacious. The location was great for exploring the Ring of Kerry. The hosts were very responsive, warm and welcoming. My daughter loved practicing on the piano in the music room.

Delightful stay on the Ring of Kerry

The house was absolutely adorable. The owners met us there, explained everything about the area, and even left us a pie and wine! Very thoughtful. We really enjoyed it, and it gave us a nice respite from hotels as we traveled around Ireland.

The Charm of Ireland

Our hosts, the Treacy’s, could not have been more warm or welcoming. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 under 12 kids. The location, close to Killorglin was ideal. We were able to tour the Ring of Kerry and enjoy Killarney N P, as well. I would strongly recommend this rental.

As advertised

Great two night stay at this beautiful home which is well located for exploring the Ring of Kerry area. We unfortunately arrived in the dark which made it challenging for us to initially find but with the directions of the home owner and their helpful neighbour who escorted to the property we eventually arrived! The hosts had left us a bottle of wine and a lovely locally made pie both of which were enjoyed and appreciated. There was also tea, coffee and milk provided. The washing machine and dryer were appreciated. The house is quite large and was very spacious for our group of four allowing everyone to have their own space and washrooms. The only regret is that we did not stay longer!

Couldn't have been happier with the property. A beautiful old style house decorated with a warm welcoming feeling like coming home having been away for a longtime. Walking through the door you instantly feel as if you've walked into your own home. The hosts Edel and Séan just couldn't have done more. We were presented with a folder full of fun ideas and things to do in the area. The house was was spotlessly clean and everything we needed was there for us. The beds were incredibly comfortable and three of the rooms were en suite. The kitchen is well kitted out. If the weather isn't in your favour, there's a smart TV and some board games provided. There is an outdoor area complete with an electric BBQ. Ample parking is also provided. The area while it might seem remote is actually very close to the local town of Killorglin which has plenty of food choices etc. Tralee is only a 30 minute drive , Killarney only 30 mins and Dingle is only 60 minutes. All in all we just couldn't fault the property or our hosts and we'll definitely be returning.

We rented multiple properties along our Ireland road trip and this was by far, our favorite stay! The house is even better than the description; the kitchen is well equipped, the entire house was super clean, the back patio is probably amazing when it's not raining. The location is perfect, right on the Ring of Kerry and near the Kerry Bog Village Museum, which sounds interesting, and we had planned to visit, but we somehow got distracted by some side quest or other shenanigans. I suppose that means we'll have to return.It's very near the beach, which is likely also incredible, when it's not raining. We went to the beach anyway, but that wind and rain was hilarious! So very Irish!The hosts were fantastic communicators and even left us fresh scones with butter and jam in addition to a bottle of wine. I assure you that these welcome gifts did not influence my review at all. Above all, you should know that even our moody teenager proclaimed this to be his the best VRBO property on our 16-day tour, possibly because the house is so spacious that he didn't have to share space with his brother or his embarrassing parents after a long day of indulging our picture-taking requests. While this may seem irrelevant, it's probably the highest praise you'll read and the only recommendation you need. If you travel with teenagers, you know what I mean.

Serenity in Kerry

The process of renting the property was smooth and supportive, the check-in friendly and welcoming and the actual stay relaxing and memorable! Our host went out of his way to ensure that our needs were met and was most helpful in sharing his local knowledge- all in all an experience well worth travelling from Australia for!

Tolles Haus und Garten

Gastgeber und Aufenthalt waren perfekt, herzlicher Empfang, Schlüsselübergabe hat gut geklappt. Wir hatten noch ein Problem mit einem Hund, Sean war sofort da und hat einen Tierarzt angerufen und wir konnten am gleichen Tag noch gehen. Vom Haus aus konnte man mit den Hunden sehr gut laufen gehen. Freilauf. Guter Ausgangspunkt um die Gegend zu Erkunden. Herzlichen Dank Edna und Sean Gerne wieder
