It is a wonderful space and I am so glad we stayed a week. We cooked, did laundry and lots of sightseeing. It was a perfect home base. Our hosts were very available if we wanted to seek them out. The thick walls made the place very quiet. Easy parking. A very nice ambiance to the entire property.

Bernadette is very friendly and helpful! She gave us ideas about the timing for the things we wanted to see and gave us a preprinted page with things to look for, off the beaten path things to see and restaurants to eat at. She very promptly answered any questions we had about the cottage. She was available but also respectful of our privacy. Their property is beautiful, well located and peaceful. We walked to the town center in Killarney most evenings for dinner and to catch some shopping or music. That helped avoid traffic! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

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.

Cool spot near the park

We enjoyed our stay at this unusual apartment in an old priory. It was clean and well equipped for our stay. It was close to the national park and the ring of kerry and other sights.

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.

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!

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.

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.'
