If you are looking for old world charm, this is your place! It is spacious is the common living areas.However, the closet and dresser storage is minimal. We came for a week and lived out of our suitcase.no vanity.The other bedroom is a bit morespaciou because the bed is smaller. There is an armoire there that was packed with pillows, blankets and linens. We had to moves all that on the floor to use the shelves for vlothes.The master bedroom off the kitchen has a very large bed with a wardrobe closet but no drawers to put clothes not needing to be hung up. The bathroom.is super tiny with

Mary Rose was charming and well kept, it is an old cottage but was exactly what I was looking for! Being there a month, I made friends within the community and enjoyed every minute of their company. Hughes Pub is very walkable and is a lively atmosphere on the weekends and a perfect place to go and meet the locals from Cordal. I went to Gaelic football matches, both men and women’s games and it was fun to see why football is their favorite pastime.Castleisland is a good starting point for many of the attractions in Kerry and it was lovely to not be moving around all the time. Many places to visit within an hour and a half drive.The caretaker Timmy was responsive as was Caroline, the other caretaker. Can’t express in words what my month was like! Tears were shed when I had to go, but isn’t that what we Irish do?

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and really living the Irish life. Our caretakers are amazing and we are so happy that they took great care of you! Hughe’s is a blessing to have right there. Sean Hughe’s is a local man that like us, had a vision. We bought the cottage in 2000 and Hughe’s was a new build and opened in 2005. He did an absolutely amazing job and now the tiny village of Cordal is a holiday destination😉 Cottage Mary Rose, named after my lovely mother dates to around 1750 and is on the Irish national registry of protected structures since 2004. Don’t be fooled by old. The cottage has increased water pressure, an indoor Jacuzzi and amazing hot tub on the expansive deck overlooking the stream below. And great landscape lighting. A bit of heaven I would say. ☘️We look forward to having you as our guests🌹

The property was a lovely thatched roof cottage. The hot tub and amazing gardens were a highlight. It is an older cottage and could use some upkeep. Timothy, the caretaker, was a delight and helped us become acquainted to the area upon arrival. This was a good location to visit the Ring of Kerry and Dingle. Thank you!!

We are very happy that you enjoyed the cottage and the grounds. The cottage is a constant labor of Love and we are always planning what is next to be done. The cottage dates back to the mid 1700’s and is on the Republic of Irelands protected structures. There are only about 1000 of them left. Our caretakers are amazing and love what they do. It was such a pleasure to have you as our guests.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay! The gardens do feature many camellia, azalea and rhododendron, including our 25 ft. In the east garden. Our palm, hydrangeas and Monkey Puzzle are really interesting plants also. And of course, our wild fuchsia. A garden is always in progress with and we are always developing different sections. It is a paradise for local birds. When I was there in April my Merlin bird device noted 10 different birds. Thank you for being our guests.

A beautifully snug little cottage in Castleisland Had everything we needed and didnt want for anything. Quite literally down the road from Hughes Bar for a pint by the fire. It was a good location for day tripping to Dingle and Killarney with a host of other villages to visit like NewCastle West and Adare.

The cottage is lovely and everything we hoped for when booking a thatched roof cottage. We enjoyed listening to the stream that runs through the backyard and how cozy and homey the cottage felt. The only negative about our stay was that it was too short.

Cottage Mary Rose is a listed, Protected Structure. We mix the old with the new. Our hearth room (as shown in our photos) has a large, antique, padded bench with pillows. There is also a very comfortable settee. Up in the loft there is an additional , comfortable chair that our caretaker would happily bring down if requested. Belfast (farm sinks) are extremely popular world wide and of course are used in kitchens. Ours are original keeping in with the character of the cottage. I cut and pasted an article below. A Belfast sink is a traditional, deep, white ceramic or fireclay sink, featuring a distinctive weir overflow that separates it from other similar styles. Originally developed in the 18th century in Belfast, Ireland, these sinks were designed to be large and deep to manage high-volume water use, which was more available there than in London. They are popular for their farmhouse aesthetic, durability, and practical, roomy basin for washing large pots and pans. All of our bedding is very comfortable and we use excellent linens. The en-suite has a beautiful, very comfortable King size bed, so for some it may be tight but worth it for a great nights sleep. As far as added comfort, we have increased water pressure for amazing showers, a Jacuzzi Tub in the main bath and a massage shower in the en-suite. On top of all of this you can enjoy our new hot tub on our large back deck as you listen to the rushing stream below☘️

Difficult to find, don’t trust the GPS, go to Hughes Bar, it’s just a bit down the road from there. Once there it is the most beautiful, magical place I have ever been. The grounds are wonderful, with a babbling brook in the back, behind the deck. Caroline and Timmy were most helpful getting us to the cottage and settled in. I can’t say enough good things, it is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
