Wonderful owners, clean place, quiet surroundings and easy process. Could use some new pillows but if that’s my only suggestion they should have a constant flow of satisfied visitors to their accommodations.

The coach house is beautiful! Big enough to have your own space, but cozy at the same time! The owners were very kind and helpful with any we had, and the heated floors downstairs were perfect for chilly mornings and evenings. The fireplace was also a great bonus, and the walk into downtown only took 15-20 minutes. Close to so many natural attractions (via car). Great place, we would definitely stay there again!

Delightful cottage

My family of five loved our stay at the coach house. Bernadette and Tim were accessible, helpful, and a wealth of knowledge about the area. We were able to explore Killarney park, walk to town, and it was a perfect base for day trips to other locations. Highly recommend! The cottage was clean, well-stocked and spacious. Thank you!

Killarney is a lovely town to stay in and is beautiful in its own right. It also provides a wonderful base while you explore the region and take in day trips such as the ring of Kerry and the Dingle peninsular and the surrounding villagesTim and Bernadette have created a little bit of magic I thier Priory and was such a comfortable place to come home to after a day of site seeing. It was spacious enough for the five adults in our family, was so clean and well presented we felt very much at home.Tim and Bernadette were great hosts who were there if u needed a chat or advice but also new the value of family holidays and privacy.A great stay and thank you very much

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 12 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 open hearth fire sipping a nice Irish whiskey or reading a good book with the sweet smell of turf burning away.
This cottage has a large tub you can slip into and soothe the soul after a hectic day.
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.'
