About this house rental
This is a large, elegant 18th century, Italianate style, Irish manor house situated in the rolling hills of the Lee valley, overlooking the medieval castle and abbey of Kilcrea.
Farran house is spectacularly set in 12 acres of mature beech woodland and landscaped gardens. The owners, John & Patricia have carried out a mammoth restoration job and the result is a luxurious, charming manor house, full of character. They opened their doors to rental guests in 1997 and haven't looked back since.
The elegant interior is full surprises. Hanging with old paintings and engravings there are exquisite antique kelims. There are interesting antique furnishings throughout the house, including a 1903 Bechstein grand piano in the drawing room and a full size billiard table in the billiard room.
All main house guest rooms have large bathrooms and beautiful views over the surrounding countryside.
It is a perfect base for exploring counties Cork and Kerry. It is situated 9 miles from Blarney, 38 miles from Killarney and 10 miles from Cork city and airport.

We had an excellent stay in Cork! The house was beautiful and grand. We walked around the property and met their sheep and lots of adventures. A car is a must as you will want to go on adventures near the house including Kilkrea castle and the Blarney Castle.We had 12 people and there was plenty of room for all! I would definitely go back. The owners were wonderful and very accommodating.
