Beautiful 4* cottage 5 minutes from Kenmare, Co. Kerry, Ireland

On Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way! A beautiful, modern, extended three bedroomed, self catering rental house only five minutes drive from the bustling market town of Kenmare in the south west of Ireland on the Ring of Kerry.
This self catering vacation cottage, which is in its own grounds of over two acres alongside the Cleady River has a (hidden) waterfall giving the relaxing sound of running water, has all the conveniences you would require on a self catering holiday. This self catering cottage has Wi-Fi, satellite TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher, safe and three bedrooms which sleep up to six (two doubles and one twin). Two bedrooms are en suite with a further bathroom for the third room and a separate guest bathroom with wet room. A cot and high chair can be made available on request at no additional cost. We recently had solar panels and an electric vehicle charger installed.
For those cooler evenings and nights there is an open fire place for burning logs and turf. Relax in the sittingroom with a feature fireplace and stove whilst listening to your music through the BOSE stereo system.
We welcome well behaved house trained pets (small fee applies).
Kenmare is a beautiful heritage town located in Kerry, southwest Ireland. It is about a 2 hour drive from Shannon, 90 mins from Cork and 3.5 hours from Dublin.

Secluded house in Kenmare
We loved this house! It was very private and quiet. Close to town. It was perfect for the four of us. The manager was very attentive to any issues that came up. Convenient place to stay for Killarney NP, Muckross house and the ring of Kerry.

Peaceful Irish Cottage in a Beautiful Setting
For a second stay in the past two years, we have found our Irish paradise in this lovely cottage home. The sound of the river nearby and the lovely landscape provided a garden setting. The interior is comfortable and homey. We enjoyed cocktails and cards in the cozy sitting room. The location was perfect for day trips to Killarney National Park, the Rings of Kerry and Beara and the Dingle peninsula. The lovely town of Kenmare provides wonderful dining options with their Michelin restaurants and many other fine options. We look forward to returning to this, our favorite spot in Ireland, in the not too distant future.

Kenmare getaway
Cready River Cottage was absolutely fabulous. Great location and a very modern property with all the mod cons you could wish for. Wonderful outdoor space with gardens and a bubbling stream. We had lovely breakfasts outside with all the family and the weather was an added bonus. Will definitely rebook in the future.

Lovely Property
The property is wonderful. The house is gorgeous. We used it as a home base for our day excursions. Sometimes two hours back after a long day. My advice would be to make sure you know what your adventure goals are when booking. The town of Kenmare is wonderful. We went every evening for dinner and strolling.

Amazing Cottage in Kenmare
The whole family including kids, grandparents and Alba our dog loved the cottage. We all want to come back. It was lovely to come back each day to the cottage after exploring different parts of the beautiful Ring of Kerry. We loved the decor (stealing a few ideas), enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine, and it was great to have different lounges for everyone to do their thing.

Large comfortable house in beautiful surroundings
John was very accommodating. The house is well appointed and while only minutes from Kensale, is down a small road that makes it quite private and quiet. We loved hearing the birds and the stream and nothing else.. Bedrooms are large , beds comfortable. We cooked almost every night and found the kitchen to have all the dishes/pots and pans needed

Short 3 Day Stay
Everything was clean, comfortable and cozy. Location was very quiet. Even though we used google maps, and instructions from the owner, we were lost in trying to locate the cottage but a kind neighbor assisted us. (Addresses are not posted on houses or roads in Ireland which is different from America) There was plenty of room for the 4 of us staying, and each had space to move about. It was nice to have a working fireplace to sit next to as well. The rooms are spacious but the beds are firm. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer since we had been traveling around previously. We would stay here again.

Lovely property
We definitely felt that we were on holiday in this luxury home. The grounds were lovely to enjoy with good weather. The house was immaculate. Unfortunately a negative was lack of response from the owner when we had problems with internet connection. Even the manager had made a phone call on our behalf. This created an issue for us as we had an unintended business issue arise which we could not address.

Lovely Cottage
We had a wonderful week at Cleady River Cottage -- the cottage is extremely comfortable, is fully equipped for a family - with plenty of room to spare. The owners have thought of everything. The owner is very helpful and very responsive to all questions and information. He quickly responded to our questions. The cottage is located near to Kenmare - a lovely base for visiting the Ring of Kerry and Beara Peninsula (we thought the BEara was even nicer than the Ring of Kerry!)... and for hiking in Killarny Ntl. Park. This is a walker and hiking paradise! We were very, very sorry to leave this bit of paradise and would highly recommend the cottage most highly. Our group of middle-age siblings and spouses had a terrific stay!

This was a wonderful home and hated to leave!!
This was such a beautiful home in a great setting. It was well-equipped with everything we needed whether for cooking, cleaning, relaxing, or sleeping. Having a washer and dryer was such a help as we were there for one week. The kitchen had everything one needed as well as the entire home. I cannot say enough about this home as it was so PERFECT!! The owner was so helpful and gave us great suggestions for places to eat as well as information about the area. We were a group of 5 women: 3 from the US and 2 from Denmark and it was such a relaxing place to start and end our days while there. It was so clean, comfortable, and felt right at home here. I know we all loved it here and I would recommend it highly to friends and family. And I hope to return one day!

Great place for families
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Cleady River cottage. We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful new family room with the cozy fireplace and huge windows. (It wasn't in the photos when I booked it) There was plenty of room for all of us to cook, eat and play together but enough room where we could have some quiet time apart. We loved the rural setting with the rushing river in the back and the surrounding farms. A great place for after dinner walks! My granddaughter particularly liked "talking" to the sheep and roasting marshmallows in the backyard fireplace. The location was very convenient to Kenmare, where we could pick up scones for breakfast, go shopping, golfing, or listen to traditional Irish music in the pubs. I would highly recommend this property to friends and family and would love to return.

Perfect stone cottage home in Kenmare
This is a wonderful new cottage home with everything you need. It has an especially nice kitchen (fully stocked) and dining area, and a warm living room. The bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs are comfortable. We made Kenmare our home base, with day trips to the Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park, Gap of Dunloe and more. The home is exactly as pictured in the photos, but maybe even nicer. It is quiet and peaceful, and one of the few in this area that is completely stone outside. The town of Kenmare is less than a five minute drive, but one can walk or run to town using the back roads. Be sure to check out the Kenmare market with the most lovely fresh food, and the Kenmare golf course down the road. Wonderful food is to be had in Kenmare's restaurants, which are way above pub food fare. The fish and chips place in town was the best breaded cod I've had (fresh from the Atlantic). We truly enjoyed our stay and thank the owners for sharing it with us.

Beautiful property
The property and house were beautiful. It would have been extremely helpful to have an accessible property manager. We arrived at sunset and the house was very cold. It took quite a bit of effort to get the heat going in the house. The internet did not work and we did contact the owner. There were issues with plumbing, etc that should be addressed. I don't think there is a hands on property manager. No soap in showers, bathrooms which we found odd. The property and house are beautiful but some things were greatly lacking

Beautiful location
The property is beautiful has a couple of little issues. There is a problem with the hot water it gets scolding hot and you can’t adjust. Was coming out hot in cold water taps everywhere except kitchen. Made showering an experience. The kitchen was fully equipped but the cabinets where very unorganized and the oven definitely needed cleaning. The bedding was very comfortable except the top covering was heavy and hot and there wasn’t any top sheets. Towels plentiful but needs the cupboard sorted out. Difficult to locate with google would advise a sign at top of driveway naming cottage. The fireplaces where great and layout works very well. Beautiful piece of property with lots of privacy to enjoy the yard in nice weather.
