Enjoyed a wonderful stay. Cottage was a super value, extremely clean, well equipped and just lovely. Plenty of room to park if you have a car, but also only a 20-25 minute walk to the center of town with plenty of pubs along the way so no need to drive all the time. We especially enjoyed walking to Mary Donal’s several nights for music and also set dancing on Monday night. Cottage is minutes from Killarney National Park and bike rentals are nearby as well. We wanted to bike down the Gap of Dunloe and it was less than a 15 minute bike ride to Ross Castle where we met the cyclist boat transfer we booked online. The location is also ideal to branch out and explore Ring of Kerry and Beara Peninsula, Kenmare and also Kinsale isn’t too far a drive. Tim and Bernadette have plenty of maps and local information in the cottage if needed and are ready to assist with any questions or recommendations. They are exceptional hosts with the cutest (quiet) dogs and a stout little cat - who liked to sit outside on our windowsill sometimes :) We definitely recommend a stay and here and hope to visit again if we return to Killarney.

Great comfort in a beautiful setting

Our cottage had everything we needed--a real home--in a garden-like setting and with a host who was more than generous with her advice and assistance. It was the perfect base for our explorations of Killarney and Killarney Naitonal Park.

Amazing Stay in Killarney

Everything about this property was perfect, from its charm and comfort to the indoor and outdoor living spaces, including the courtyards. The location was fabulous…close to downtown Killarney yet tucked away down its own quiet lane. Bernadette was super friendly and helpful, and her dog Teddy was his own welcoming committee. I highly recommend!

Short walk to Killarney

This charming cottage was a short 15 minute walk to downtown Killarney. The shops and restaurants were all fantastic! Our hosts were friendly and helpful with local restaurant recommendations and things to do. The turf fire place was a treat to experience and added to the local flair of the cottage. We would definitely stay here again for our next visit.

Fantastic property and location. Very charming and quintessential Ireland. The shower is hot and powerful! The ONLY negative thing that I could say is that it’s time to replace that mattress! It was lumpy and poked me throughout the night. The kitchen facilities were great and it has everything you need. One of my favorite things about the property was access to filling up with fresh filtered water. The owners are fantastic and there for whatever you need. With a new mattress, this is a 5 star!!

Cozy cottage in a quaint courtyard

Enjoyed the cozy cottage at the back of the historic Priory. It was just off a beautiful courtyard with direct access to the garden. Perfect for our Bernese Mountain Dog. Loved the smell each evening of peat burning in the stove. Great access to Killarney’s top destinations. Our hosts were great.

Beautiful cottage, ideal location

This is a beautiful one bedroom cottage which was exactly as described. It was clean and spacious. We stayed for 4 nights and had all that we needed. We used the kitchen for breakfasts, but ate lunch and dinner out each day. This wasn't due to a limitation of the kitchen or set-up, it was based on our itinerary and that we wanted to try local pubs and restaurants. Laundry worked well. Plenty of closet space to unpack if wanted. The location was perfect for us. Easy walk to town and to the national park for hiking. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future!

This is a great place to stay! My only complaint would be that we had no control of the heat so it was very cold in the morning when getting in the shower. And I like to watch some tv at night before bed but there was no tv in the bedroom. Other than that awesome place

The Priory in Kilarney is Awesome

I was privileged to spend almost 3 months at the Priory in Killarney. Tim and Bernadette were wonderful hosts. The Ladies responsible for maintaining the cottage were equally wonderful. The location is great, close to town for biking and driving to the awesome sites of County Kerry, especially the Killarney National Park, Dingle and the Ring of Kerry. I would definitely stay at the Priory again.

About the host

Hosted by Tim O'Donoghue

Host profile image
Bernadette and Tim O’Donoghue met in The Windy City of Chicago a few years back. We acquired the property in 2002. We then returned from Chicago in 2004.
Bernadette was a paralegal secretary and is now a stay at home Mom and an excellent baker, I am an electrician by trade but got into construction during my 14 years in Chicago. I restored several old houses and classic vintage apartment buildings during my time there. I coupled this experience with Bernadette’s keen eye and interior design savvy to create some wonderful finishes and unusual touches. We began the colossal rehab project in 2004 to restore the Priory to its former glory , it was basically completed it in 2007 or is it ever complete I like to ask myself ?

We pride ourselves in welcoming you into our place.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in Killarney, where my parents owned a camping site and I truly loved meeting visitors on a daily basis. We have 4 children and we wanted to raise them here in Ireland, so we said we would give it a shot and here we are. When this property became available we realized how unique it was and what a fantastic opportunity it would be to own The Priory.

What makes this property unique

We are in a key location, a ten minute walk from town but it feels like we are in the heart of the countryside where you cannot hear a sound by night.
You will get a quiet private house to yourself where you can come and go as you please. You can cook when you want and have the full use of the 1.5 acre property on private grounds. You can sit back and relax in the front of the stove fire sipping a nice Irish whiskey or reading a good book with the sweet smell of turf burning away. You will get the real feel of Irish living and live like we live ourselves while visiting in your home away from home.
We are on site owners who are here to help you in any way you require and assure a wonderful stay. We have invaluable knowledge about the local area from cultural information to hikes, local food joints to off the beaten track drives. We can organize in-house chef, or poetry recital or to a music session.

We like to tell our guests ''We are as near or as far as you wish.'
