Manor-Style Living in Killarney
Manor-Style Living in Killarney

On our August 2011 trip to Ireland, we visited the delightful town of Killarney in County Kerry. Located on the Ring of Kerry, this popular destination offers everything your heart desires, from golf to castles, horse-drawn jaunting car rides through Killarney National Park, walking trails and wonderful restaurants. The town is tourist friendly with lots of places to stay, but none finer than Coolclogher House. We had the good fortune to spend two delightful weeks at the magnificent Coolclogher House. This luxurious mansion dates back to 1746 and has been beautifully restored to its original glory (with modern plumbing). The manor house sits on more than 60 acres of walled and secluded land that provided us with both privacy and a gorgeous outdoor setting - complete with horses, sheep and rolling green meadows. A walk across the meadow to the edge of the estate property rewards you with beautiful views of the mountains, the Killarney Lakes and the spire of St. Mary's Cathedral. Inside, we got a taste of luxury living in an 18th century manor. Together with our dozen or so friends and fellow travelers, we utilized every room that the house had to offer. From the seven bedrooms to the spacious and beautifully decorated parlors and sitting rooms, we were comfortably spoiled day and night. We prepared some fabulous meals in the fully-equipped kitchen and enjoyed them either sitting at the large wooden table in the country style kitchen or in the formal dining room. Throughout the day, you could find a group of us sitting in front of a cozy fireplace reading or sharing our experiences with friends and family on our iPads and laptops. Our hosts, Mary and Maurice, who own Coolclogher House and are responsible for how beautiful it looks both inside and out, were there when we needed them and mostly invisible the rest of the time. They are a delightful couple and getting to know them enhanced our experience. I even received a singing lesson from their lovely daughter, Katie! Killarney is a must see for any visitor to Ireland. But, it's not often that you get to say that the accommodations were one of the highlights of your visit. Coolclogher House was that and more and we look forward to returning there someday.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

Weekend met de 12 mannen van de MC de Unie in dit prachtige huis in Killarney. Alles zoals op de site genoemd klopt. Hele mooie slaapkamers in een zeeeeer groot huis met uitgebreide keuken, mooi landschap, natuurpark op 2 kilometer aftand (Torc Mountain) De eigenaresse Mary doet er alles aan om je het naar het zin te maken. Niet goedkoop, maar dan heb je ook wat. MC de Unie Hilversum (the Netherlands)Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

After many hours on the computer and even a visit to Ireland to look at property we found Coolclogher House!! We spent a month at Coolclogher House with all my family in 2007 for my 60th Birthday.What a fabulous experience. A truly wonderful manor house with beautiful grounds very well kept with glorious views The Best of the Best. Beautifully furnished livingrooms with fireplaces....with fires every night! The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and fine linens. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen is large and modern with a fireplace and large table that provided my family with many happy hours of talking about our travels for the day. Great outside grill..which we used to grill lamb chops for dinner. The grounds are lush and the out buildings were fun to visit...we missed seeing a new horse being born by a few days. Mary and Maurice were very accommodating...we became fast friends. Being so centrally located we were able to expereince all of "The West" with easy day trips. The whole experience was will worth everthing!! ...My husband and I returned the next year for a week with Mary and Maurice and then had two couples join us for the next week. ...We have returned another time and hope to be returning in 2010....always with great excitement. I would recommend this property to everyone that wants a true irish experience. It doesn't get any better.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Coolclogher House is a stunning house in a beautiful location. The home is furnished with lovely antiques/art work. The kitchen is huge and is a great place to sit, relax, cook and have wonderful conversations in. It is fully equipped with an Aga and there is also a log burner which really gives this spacious room a nice homey touch. The bedrooms are beautiful with large king-size beds on which I had the best nights sleep in years and the fact that every bedroom was en-suite was great! The owners also provide a barbeque and the spacious gardens and fields were a delight to walk through with the family dog Jesi. While we stayed at the manor we had many dinners but our most memorable were when we hired caterers which Mary recommended to cook for us in the beautiful dining room. Mary’s daughter Katie sang Irish songs from the area which was a real treat. I cannot recommend this home enough. The location is perfect only five minutes away from Killarney town and the amazing National Park. Mary organised all our trips and was available to answer even the silliest of questions which was a great help. I will definitely be staying here again in the near future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My family of seven stayed at the Coolclogher House for a week in July of 2009. My children, ranging from 25 to 7, were blown away by the majestic scope and breath of the manor house and grounds. My oldest daughther described it as "living in a Jane Austin novel". The whole week was magical and as hard as it was to leave the house, we would stroll into gorgeous Killarney every day to ride bikes, play golf, have tea and just meander around the prettiest town in all of Ireland. Mary, Maurice, and daughter Katie are perfect hosts with Irish charm and humor. They play their hospitality roles so well, it's hard to believe they were successful in London's business world. My kids have been all over the world and according to them this was hands down the best vacation they've ever had. If anything the photos on this site understate the majesty of the estate.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We had the pleasure of staying at Coolclogher House during the first week of August, 2009. We were accompanied by our five children, ages 17 to 26, and another family of five, with children of similar ages. The house comfortably accommodated 12 adults. Without exception, the photographs of the house and spacious grounds on the VRBO website accurately depict the property, which is in impeccable condition, very attractive and equally comfortable. The owners, who occupy adjoining but separate accommodations, are from the area and helpful sources of information. After returning from successful careers in London, they purchased what was then a manor house in need of repair and completely renovated it from roof tile to floors. The kitchen and baths are all modern and fully functional. It sits about 3 kilometers from the center of Killarney and has the dual benefit of being a refuge for adults or a launching pad for kids who want to experience the late night pub and club experience. The spacious kitchen and large dining room permit cooking and informal or grand in-house meals. There are abundant grocery stores in the area and the surrounding area is filled with many dining options. Whether a large or small group, Coolclogher House is a great venue from which to explore The Gap, The Ring of Kerry, Muckross House and the national park, Ross Castle and the many surrounding towns and points of interest. Highly recommended.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We loved everything about this Mansion, in Killarney where we stayed March this year for three weeks with my immediate family. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large, light, and meticulously kept and feature amazing views of the surrounding Kerry Mountains and the world famous "Lakes of Killarney". The grounds are stunning, an expanse of open space and trees that somehow offer solitude and tranquillity. The town of Killarney is a short stroll from the house, which was fabulous for the teenagers and the more energetic of our group. We had some great chats with Mary and Maurice who really made us feel so welcome!!! They gave us lots of advice and history the Killarney area. They have some beautiful racehorses which Maurice breeds as a hobby. While we were there they had a gorgeous little foal who was an amusement all by himself. Coolclogher House has become one of those invaluable places to stay in the world to which I always know that I will return, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
