The home is spectacular. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The bedrooms were roomy. Bathrooms are modern. The 2 large tables accommodated our group of 10. It did take us 30 minutes to walk to town. Cabs are plentiful though and reasonable.Beds in description are 1 Queen , 3 kings and a room with 3 twins. However, according to American definition of bed sizes there is 1 king, 3 queens and the 3 twins. Breda was so accommodating and responded quickly. Overall a wonerful stay. Would highly recommend.

Great area!!!
Great property. Will probably have to disclose all the construction going on around the property. Luckily it did not affect our short stay. Could see it being a major issue for weekly renters.Great property, Great location. Breda was exceptional.

"We're staying in a mansion!"- the kids
This home is absolutely beautiful. So spacious and well put together. We loved our stay. It was our first rental in Ireland and set a high bar the others couldn't quite reach.

Beautiful, spacious and comfortable!
My family and I loved the Cloverfield House! We spent the days exploring the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry and spent the evenings enjoying dinner and our time together in the lovely kitchen and family room. The owner Breda was easy to contact and answered questions within a timely manner! Highly recommended!
Breda and Neil were fabulous in every way. The home is beautiful and met the needs of our 10 person group perfectly. We also felt like we'd met friends we never knew we were missing in our lives. They are the best and we would go back in a heartbeat.

25th Celebration in Perfect Home
My husband & I with 5 friends celebrated our 25th anniversary at Cloverfield. It was perfectly enchanting. First VRBO and now we are hooked. Thank you Breda & Neil, much love. We will be back.
We were a group of 10 family members ranging from 87-1 years old. The house is convenient to everything in Kerry and Killarney. Breda and Niell are so kind and helpful. The house is breathtaking with lots of room for everyone. I would 100% go back.
This house was just perfect! I would describe it as a stone manor house. It exceeded all expectations. Spotless, pretty, comfortable, and great location!
Beds were comfortable. My favorite house that we’ve ever stayed in. Just at the edge of the Killarney national Forest. Breda was fabulous and responsive when we had a question.
Large comfortable bedrooms and living spaces. Our only criticism would be that more care should be given to maintenance as several of the ceiling lights needed replacements. Several of our group that cook thought the kitchen could be better equipped and organized.
This property and the owner was the very best of any vrbo property that we ever rented! Not only is the house gorgeous it was the cleanest. I kept staring at the tiles in the bathroom wishing mine looked that good! Breda was a lovely host helped us with anything we needed. Showed us how to work the appliances, then left us alone. Also the beds were very comfortable, and you dont always get that. Its so important to have good beds on vacation! I highly recommend this property!!!!!!
An absolutely stunning home. The pictures don’t do it justice. Breda was a pleasure to meet and she taught us about everything in the house. Our favorite room was the kitchen and it will be yours too! Our family staying in other homes wanted to come and cook in our kitchen. we were very comfortable and had plenty of room as the house is very spacious. The grounds are gorgeous and we enjoyed sitting outside and taking it all in. We also loved being very close to downtown Killarney. We’d love to come back again.

Our very own Downton Abby for one week.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the Cloverfield House. It was perfect for our family of 11. Everyone thought they had the best room! The house is very large but at the same time it had a very warm feeling. We could not think of one thing that we needed that we didn't find in the house. I highly recommend it for families wanting to all be together. Before we saw the beautiful kitchen, we thought we would be eating out every night, but we loved being there and entertaining as well.
The location was perfect and an easy walk or short taxi ride back from the pubs.
Hopefully we will have the opportunity to come back to the Cloverfield House.
Many thanks Breda!
This was the most beautiful home we have stayed in. The home is spacious and well maintained. It is close enough to the city but far enough to be quiet. It is definitely on our list for future stays
Our stay was everything as we expected! We were 2 families,11 adults in total. The house was large enough to accommodate us all. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. It was great to have full size washer and dryer so we could do our laundry which meant less to pack! This house is a short, easy drive into town. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again if we are ever back in Killarney. Breda was great with suggestions and responsive when we had questions. Thanks for a great stay!
Easy check-in with thorough and clear instructions. Host was available and responsive for any questions, but completely unintrusive. Beautiful well-finished enormous home with plently of bedrooms, bathrooms, two dining areas and living rooms, an expansive kitchen, with beautiful finishes throughout the entire home and grounds. Lots of amenities, including a lovely patio and separate laundry room. Close access to national park, downtown, and Ring of Kerry. Would absolutely stay here again and enjoy every minute while there. Best stay in Ireland!
We are three couples from Boston and London traveling throughout Ireland.We were staying mostly in hotels and B&B but wanted a home where all of us could get together and share more time as a group.We found the Cloverfield home on Vrbo and it has everything anyone could ask for.A beautiful, stately home built by a builder who spared no expense in quality and extras.We certainly did not need all the bathrooms and bedrooms and each of us were pleased with our choices.The kitchen is fully furnished and we took advantage of using it by hiring a chef for one evening, Melanie Hearty from Just Cooking. Melanie cooked an amazing dinner and we participated in the process and had many laughs in addition to a spectacular meal that the group rated one of the best on our trip.We all took advantage of the washer and dryer knowing that we could pack a little lighter on our trip and take advantage of the amenities in the home.Neil and Breda our hosts and owners were readily available and help us questions or any needs we had while in KilkennyHighly reccomend anyone traveling through Ireland take advantage of this wonderful home
I am so glad I chose Breda's home for our stay in Killarney. She was the perfect hostess....communicating before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We traveled with our adult children and their spouses so we needed a home that could accommodate 8 adults and give us a little privacy too. We also wanted decent sized beds and a large kitchen. This home was perfect. We could (and did) walk to town, but we also called for a taxi in the evenings and all we had to say was that we were at the Cloverfield House. Breda's restaurant recommendation was very helpful and she even assisted when we needed urgent care information. It was a great location for a day trip to Dingle and exploring Killarney National Park. I hope we get to return one day.
Breda is one of the best Hostesses on VRBO! Her husband Neil greeted us at the house and demonstrated how to use the appliances in the kitchen & laundry room. One of our adult family members, who was feeling sick, contacted Breda the next morning asking about medical facilities in the area. Breda came over quickly to inform us of the different medical care options in the area and took them to a medical facility as well as helped them to navigate the health system there. The house was grand, plenty of bedrooms & bathrooms. We went out everyday to explore Killarney National Park & Killarney town. At the home we pretty much hung out in the large kitchen and adjacent den playing games & watching a soccer match. We had a great time in Killarney! Thank you Breda!!

About the host
Hosted by Breda Hickey
Neil and Breda are both experienced in the hospitality sector and we are well aware of what visitors require to make their holiday a memorable one.
Why they chose this property
We have very happy memories of living in the house and we hope that the families and groups who will use this house for their vacation in Killarney will experience very good memories of it as well. It is a very spacious house with high ceilings and is ideal for people who wish to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, weddings or for group activities such as walking, mountain climbing or golfing. Relax by the open fires with a book from our large selection on offer. We have a very good guide/driver who can take your family or your group on days trips to Ring of Kerry, Dingle, Beara Penninsula. Blarney or Kinsale if you wanted to take a day off from driving. Catering for buffets or dinner party can also be arranged and is very popular with our guests
What makes this property unique
Location,spaciousness and proximity to National Park and Killarney town. Our fully equipped kitchen has a large 6 ring induction cooker with two ovens and American Fridge with ice maker. Our pantry is stocked with condiments, spices and all basic cookery ingredients. The sitting rooms including bedrooms and bathrooms are very large and have high ceilings which makes them very bright and airy. Lovely mountain views from the front of the house.
