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.

Beautiful Country Retreat

This country estate lived up to the photos, and then some. It's on a large piece of property at the end of a long driveway, and feels very secluded. The drive into town was very quick, about 5 minutes as advertised. The house and grounds are very well cared for. There are several huge hydrangea bushes on the property that were in full bloom when we were there (mid-July) that we enjoyed a lot. The three bedrooms were ample for us. The kitchen was well-stocked with all we needed.

Gorgeous, serene, and Ireland-perfect

Our family of five loved our three nights in this little haven. We had a car so made it easy to be out in the country and day trip to the Ring of Kerry and Dingle. A huge lawn where we had a baseball game with our kids and a two cozy movie nights in. Absolutely delightful.

Lovely rural experience

Tucked at the end of a rural lane, expansive lawn at river’s edge, all fenced and ringed with trees. Interior provides multiple spaces downstairs to gather. Overstuffed couches are not very comfortable. Views/scents/sounds are peaceful. A suggested rural walk into Kenmare was a highlight. The house is a welcome retreat after a day exploring this gorgeous part of Ireland.

Great stay near Kenmare

Beautiful property just outside of Kenmare. I wish we had skipped the ring of Kerry drive in favor of walking into town. We had a great time going to town and through the Killarney National Park. The nearby Ring Fort was interesting, also. The rest of the Ring of Kerry, I could have missed.

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.

Secluded house in Kenmare

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.

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.

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

Wonderful Stay in Beautiful Cleady River Cottage

My husband, Mark and l, along with friends, Larry and Betty Ann, enjoyed a spectacular week long stay in the cottage. The furnishings were warm and welcoming and the house well-equipped with all kitchen, bedroom and bathroom essentials. My favorite room was the sitting room - so inviting for evening cocktails and conversation. The outdoor setting was beautiful, with its manicured lawn and blooming flowers, such as vibrant blue hydrangeas. The backyard was bordered by the ever-flowing Cleady River, providing a serene atmosphere. We enjoyed lovely morning walks long the country road. The location was well situated close to Kenmare, which is a lovely village near the Rings of Kerry and Beara, with a little longer drive to Dingle. The cottage was the perfect base for our day trips. We highly recommend this property, and will look forward to staying there again on a future visit to Ireland.

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.
