1892 School House
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 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.

Loved it.
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.

Good Home Base
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”.
