My wife and two teenage kids enjoyed our stay here in Killarney. Bernard was out of town during our stay, but gave us very thorough instructions on the house, directions and also activities in the area. House is on a quiet street just ouside of the downtown area.

This was a great two bedroom property within walking distance to everything we needed in Killarney. Communication was absolutely excellent. The host went above and beyond, contacting us beforehand to offer video tutorials regarding features of the home. He offered insight to the area and answered all our questions, including some pretty advanced ones. I'd have to say that the communication with this specific host was the best I've ever had at a rental home. We'd absolutely stay here again!

Brilliant host, great location, excellent kitchen with everything you could need. Good bathroom with efficient shower, nice large bedrooms with comfy beds and quality linen. Huge flat screen tv making for a great cinema style evening (bring your own popcorn)Easy parking adjacent to property. Would have been even better if there had been somewhere outside to sit and enjoy a nice glass of wine in the sunshine.

Bernard was a most attentive and welcoming host, providing us with so much information both before and during our stay. The accommodation itself was also delightful and so well equipped. It was absolutely perfect for our week-long stay in Killarney and super easy distance to get into the town, to the INEC arena, and also to plenty of other local attractions. We loved how comfortable the place was and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

The house was very clean and very well-equipped. The location is very quiet and safe, yet perfectly situated for reaching the city center on foot in a short time. Shopping facilities are also nearby. The landlord is very friendly, offered many helpful tips, and was always available to assist. Even when we forgot something after our departure, a solution was found very quickly. In short: everything was excellent!

Bernard’s property was a home away from home. It had everything we needed for our 5 nights in Killarney. It’s very close to an Aldi, a large Tesco, M&S and a Mountain Warehouse. We were without a car, but a quick 15 minute walk gets you to the center of town. There is a lovely view of the park from one of the upstairs bedrooms, and there is plenty of space for all your belongings if you wish to unpack.Bernard is very communicative and helpful. He explains everything in the house, and he offers wonderful suggestions for the surrounding area. He is definitely the best host I’ve ever rented from. I truly hope to return to the area one day and stay here again. I will recommend it to all my traveling friends!

The residence was well equipped and spotlessly clean on arrival. Lovely comfortable beds with blackout blindscurtains. Quiet location. Parking on street was easysome "trimming" of the leylandi would allow driveway parking- we didn't want to chance scratching the hire car .Town centre readily walkable and excellent recommendations from host Bernard

Outstanding property. The accommodations and the host could not have been better. It was very clean, comfortable decor, the bed was comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and parking is right outside the door. Bernard provided lots of suggestions of places to go and things to do. Sheila gave us an overview of the property. She was charming and very helpful. Food and fuel closeby. Perfect location to head out from and explore the area. Close enough to walk into town. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay!
