About this farm stay rental
Carriglea House is a ‘historic house’ and is one of the jewels in the crown of Killarney accommodation. Its location alone is unrivalled, sitting on a slight rise overlooking the lakes and mountains, in a peaceful countryside setting but still within walking distance to Killarney town and across the street from the entrance to The National Park. There are pubs and restaurants and a supermarket within a few minutes walk, along a promenade. The house itself like the setting is totally unique, it has kept its old world charm but with modern conveniences discreetly included. This period house has an interesting history mirroring the history of Ireland from the landlord era to the present day.
The rooms are all large with the drawing room and dining room featuring some wonderful antique furniture and large bay windows with lake views. The bedrooms have their own private bathroom. The kitchen is modernly equipped with the addition of an AGA stove which will be the one piece of equipment you will long to take home with you. The kitchen larder which s an old confession box adds to the charm. There is a laundry room with large washer and large dryer in the house.
The grounds are large with huge lawns and mature gardens with some very interesting features, including a pond and it's natural water fountain. The entrance to the National Park is just across the street, which allows your group to pursue different interests, maybe it’s a jog or a romantic lakeside stroll or visiting an old abbey, its all there on your doorstep.
We also have a self-catering courtyard cottage available on the property.

From the moment we walked into Carriglea House, we felt completely at home. Elegant and comfortable, with gorgeous views of Killarney National Park directly across the road, and an easy walk to pubs and shops in town, this house was everything we dreamed it would be for ourselves and all our guests. We spent hours talking in the sitting room, enjoying ourselves around the table with beautiful dinners prepared by local catering company and cooking school, Just Cooking, and walking the trails of the park to explore the stunning lake along with Muckross Abbey and Muckross House. Our hosts, Eileen and John, were delightful and helpful in every way we needed, and made us feel the house was ours while we were in it. We loved using the AGA (something I've always wanted to have in my own home!) and the professional dishwasher that leaves dishes spotless in 2 1/2 minutes! We absolutely loved our week there and have already made reservations for next year. Looking forward to coming back for many years to come!

The VRBO posting for the Carriglea House appeared too good to be true. We found it to be far better.Setting at the end of a long driveway off the Ring of Kerry road, Carriglea has sweeping views of the lakes and mountains of Killarney National Park. Breathtaking, peaceful, relaxing.The interior of the house is as beautiful as the exterior, configured just as depicted in the pictures. Bedrooms are roomy; most with private baths. The formal parlor provided a perfect setting for our grandchildren to put on Irish Dancing Exhibitions each evening. The house was clean, comfortable and welcoming.The owners, Eileen and John Beazley who live in a separate cottage on the property, were gracious hosts and provided special touches to make our stay enjoyable. The welcome basket of groceries and additional treats were most appreciated.Our week in Killarney was wonderful!The Carriglea House provided our family with the perfect environment to experience and enjoy this part of Ireland.We look forward to coming back in the future.Thank you!
