About this property

Discover Elegant Country Living less than 5 Minutes from Killarney Town

Come and stay at Knockcarrig House and you will find your ideal balance between town and country. Our newly built property is situated on the edge of our private 20 acre farm, yet is less than a 5 minute drive to Killarney.

Located just off the N22 in the residential area of Lissivigeen, Knockcarrig House offers you the perfect base for touring the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Beara. Green fields surround the house and in the Summer you will find our cattle enjoying all that lovely grass that nature has to offer :)

Elegant country living awaits you at Knockcarrig House. Parts of the interior are drawn from the natural landscape-from the golden hue of hay in the Summer to the proud pink foxgloves found in the mossy stone ditches. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with two possessing both a separate bath and shower.

Enjoy fabulous feasts at our custom designed 10 seater oak table found in our panoramic dining room which boasts mountain and meadow views. Relax in the evening with a good book in front of a roaring fire or challenge someone to a game of chess- the winner doesn't have to do the dishes!

Whether you wish to explore Killarney's lakes, climb its mountains, cycle its hills and valleys or stay put and enjoy the good life , the choice is yours........................

Everything about our time at Noelle’s home was 10/10. We had a wonderful time! Laundry was great to have with the baby, kitchen had everything we needed and the bed/bath set up was perfect for our large family. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Kilarney vacation spot!

Truly the best host and house!

The house is perfection in a wonderful and serene location next to two sweet cows who we fell in love with. It’s excellently appointed with everything you could need and Noelle is such a lovely and accommodating host. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Can’t wait to return to our new Irish home away from home.

Very Nice

Host communicated very well. We had a wonderful time. The house is clean and conveniently located. Easy to call a taxi to town to avoid fighting for parking and also having the freedom to enjoy some drinks and not worry about driving. I highly recommend this house if you are planning to stay near Killarney.

Perfect location for our Killarney holiday

We had a lovely stay at Knockcarrig House. Noelle was a great host and very helpful. The location was perfect to easily pop into Killarney Centre or take in the various highlights of the southwest of Ireland. We were a group of 8 and this provided plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable for the week. Very highly recommended.

An incredibly comfortable home that’s outfitted for gourmet meals, lovely conversations, and a relaxing stay less than five minutes from bustling Killarney. Sipping a cup of coffee at the tables in the garden by the hydrangeas with the cows in the nearby field is an amazing way to start the morning. Noelle provides fabulous tips to enjoy the house and the community. Her warm and personal welcome set the tone for our visit in this beautifully maintained home. Spend a week or a month. You’ll feel right at home!

Our family of 6 adults and 3 children was extremely comfortable. There is so much room to roam around this home. This house is a 10 star house, and I would rate this higher if possible. Our grandchildren named the cows Elsie & Gracie who welcomed us every day. Noelle was so nice and available to any of our needs. If you are considering a trip to this area, this should only be the house you consider. Clean, new, perfect location. Excellent host.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Knockcarrig House, Killarney, Ireland!

Here we offer a little bit of Irish country living in Killarney to holidaymakers. We built Knockcarrig on the edge of our private 20 acre cattle farm which is less than a 10 minute drive to the town centre of Killarney.
'Knockcarrig' comes from the Irish language which means hill of the stones. As farmers who feel an incredible link to the land, it was only fitting to call our house after the farm land on which it is found.

If you were to literally start digging in the fields, you would find plenty of stones in the earth! Traditionally these stones were then used to build walls to divide the fields of the farm. And as for the hill part- well if you were to walk from one end of the farm to the other, you would find yourself climbing a little hill which gives you a panoramic view of the magnificent McGillicuddy Reek mountains!
