We had a wonderful stay here. Gemma, the host, was so kind and provided great recommendations for the few days we were in the area. We had 7 people in our party and all fit comfortably.
I would definitely stay here again!!!
We had a lovely time and it was so nice to come back to this property after our adventures! Gemma was very communicative and had everything in order for us when we arrived.I would highly recommend using this as your home base if visiting West Ireland coast.
Loved this place. Owner was very helpful and gave hiking recommendations. All the little extra decor details were really beautiful. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at the 1892 schoolhouse. The host was great with communication and sent recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The house was easy to access. It was quiet and clean. Cute decor and clean.
Owners are great. Awesine location close to town but far enough out for quiet. Great views. If your going to drive the Ring of Kerry it’s in a great spot. Highly recommend.
The place is a ways out of town but easily findable. We had everything we needed, and Gemma was great to connect with.
The internet went down which made navigating & planning our day difficult, but Gemma had a fix ready by the time we returned for the day, and it worked out. All of her suggestions for places to check out were spot on. We had a short stay, but it was a good one.

The property is beautifully renovated and in a great location convenient to Killarney. Gemma was great with communication and made everything easy for us. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer.

Hazardous location
Unfortunately our stay was marred by trucking transfers from this remote narrow laned “ idyllic location” of harvested hay at high speed past the house day and night. We have been to Ireland numerous times and are not neophytes to driving there. This is certainly not a choice I would repeat for a stay in “Killarney”.
