About this property

Dun Aonaigh with spectacular mountain views. Enjoy a peaceful country retreat.

Dun Aonaigh Holiday Home is ideally situated in the Reeks District close to the Ring of Kerry and the iconic Wild Atlantic Way. It’s just three miles from Killorglin, home of Puck Fair, and less than half an hour from the bustling town of Killarney. Enjoy fantastic views of the splendid MacGillycuddy Reeks and Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest mountain, in a peaceful and tranquil setting, yet close enough to gain easy access to all the main tourist attractions in Kerry.

The comfortable three-bedroomed accommodation comprises a light and airy sitting room, spacious and well-equipped kitchen-diner, laundry room, and bathroom with shower and bath.
One of the bedrooms, with king-size bed, has an en-suite bathroom,
Second bedroom has a double and king size bed,
The third has two single beds
offering very flexible accommodation for up to eight people. Outside, enjoy the space with a one-acre garden and fantastic mountain views.

There’s plenty to do and see in the area: walking, swimming (Dun Aonaigh is in easy reach of Rossbeigh, a Blue Flag beach), playing a round of golf, enjoying a day’s fishing, exploring the Reeks District or touring the Dingle Peninsula, the Ring of Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way. In the evening, dine in and watch the sun go down from the patio area.
Alternatively, eat out: Killorglin offers a great choice with cuisines to suit all tastes and pockets.
As an added bonus, Debra your host is happy to provide a wealth of information about places to visit and things to do. Employed in the local tourism industry and living in an adjacent property, she’s on hand to offer advice and answer any queries.
The bay windows look out at panoramic views of the Mcgillycuddy Reeks and Ireland's highest mountain.
Situated beside a 3 ring fairy fort in Dungeel (fort of the fairies) it gives you the feeling of total relaxation.
You will have all the home comforts with wifi, satellite TV, DVDs player , laundry room, a changing room for wet clothes after fishing or hiking.
You will find all the household essentials required to make your stay comfortable.
I have lots of tourist information in the house for your use.
Supermarkets open till 11 pm for late arrivals. You are 500m off the Ring of Kerry N72 road ideally located to tour Killarney, Dingle Peninsula and the Wild Atlantic Way.
Stay with me in the Reeks District for a few days, you will be guaranteed to need a few days to see everything that Mid Kerry has to offer.

Wish it could have been for longer.

Unfortunately our stay was only for one night. The space was great. With an outstanding view from the primary bedroom. The kitchen was set up well and there was a lot of information on local activities. Debra was phenomenal and helped us get settled in.

Our only regret is that we could not stay longer than one night. The property owner was fantastic. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. If you have the opportunity to stay in this welcoming home, be sure to take it.

Killarney National Park

We were only here one night but wished we could have stayed longer. The host was lovely and provided several special touches for us. The home was perfect. The home is a bit outside of Killarney but we were able to spend some time in the park and town (worth the drive in our opinion). Again, we loved this home and leg of our journey!

Magnificent

If you are going to Killarney and the Dingle peninsula this is an ideal location. The house is beautiful, clean, large rooms. If you have a family it has a huge kitchen with everything you need. Debra is a perfect host. Gave us great advice. And even offered to start us a fire. We were greeted by cows across the street in the morning. Wish we could have stayed longer. I'll try to post pics.

Great house in a beautiful setting and convenient location. I overlooked in the description but important to note the host, Debra, lives upstairs. She is absolutely lovely and checked in on us during the storm to see if we needed anything. This was a last minute booking that saved our trip!

Beautiful setting close to Killarney and Killorglin. Lots of room to spread out and everything was very well stocked for a stay. Owner is very welcoming and happy to provide any information and give suggestions. Only downsides for us were the en suite bathroom is very small and some things could use a bit of upgrading.

The house was perfect for our party of 5 plus a baby. I didn’t even realize I had booked us right off the Ring of Kerry. I would definitely recommend! We were even lucky enough to meet the owner and she was so nice! The house was large with plenty of space!

Great host and very relaxing house

This is a lovely memory of Ireland for us and especially the warm welcome from Deborah. It is a very comfortable and well equipped house. We did not need 3 bedrooms but as my husband was feeling unwell we appreciated the space and the sunny rooms in wonderful weather. Deborah was very kind to give recommendations including Kate Kearney’s cottage Irish Night. The surrounding area is beautiful. Highly recommend if you like to be out of the town centre. Check out the stars at night!

Enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable and spacious house. Debra was a delight to meet and happy to suggest places to eat and visit. She has lots of information booklets on the area to use. This is a good location to start the Ring of Kerry which we did and were lucky to have perfect weather to view and it’s spectacular.

Great zcountry Location with a very Friendly Host

We stayed here with family and were very comfortable. The location, yard and home were lovely. The host had lots of information for things to do in the area and was very helpful when we asked for local restaurants and a grocery store. The only thing we missed when booking was that the listing clearly says that there is a washer but no dryer so be aware of that if laundry is needed. She had three drying racks for indoors and a line outside if the weather is nice. The plumbing is quirky and very different from the States but nothing we couldn’t work around.

About the host

Hosted by Debra Johnston

Host profile image
I love to travel and have visited many parts of the world. I work as a local tourist adviser in the Reeks District Visitors Centre. I have vast knowledge of the local area, Ring of Kerry, Dingle, Killarney and things to see as you move on to see Ireland.

Why they chose this property

Ideally located near Killorglin on the Ring of Kerry, also near Killarney, Dingle and Tralee. The house has majestic views of the Mcgillycuddy Reeks and Irelands Highest Mountain.
Located in a tranquil rural setting on a one acre garden. You will enjoy spacious living quarters, open fireplace, large bedrooms and a peaceful patio to enjoy the starry skies on the verge of the Dark Sky reserve (only reserve in the northern hemisphere)
