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........................

Large well appointed home in excellent location
We could not have enjoyed our stay at Noelle's property more! She was quick with responses and met us at check-in to show us where everything is and how to use appliances. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and entertaining our party of 7 (which got up to 11 at times for dining). The welcome basket was a wonderful surprise and thoughtful touch with the essentials, as well as wine and chocolate and a hand written note. The way the house is set up, our kids had their own "wing" with some distance from the adult's rooms. There were toiletries, laundry detergent, hair dryers, games, books and best of all - cows in the yard. The property was conveniently located for the several day trips we took to Dingle, Kenmare and of course, downtown Killarney. When we come back to the area, we will definitely be requesting Noelle and Paudie's lovely home.

Best VRBO we've stayed in by far. The welcome was wonderful. The view was amazing. The proximity to town was incredible. The cows were charming. Every necessity was in hand. We loved everything. We hated to leave.

A perfect stay!
Everything about this property, and our stay there, was fantastic. Our group comprised seven family members - all adults - touring Ireland for two weeks. The five bedrooms upstairs - each with its’ own ensuite bathroom - couldn’t have been more perfect for our group, with one bedroom to spare. Everything about the house and property is exactly as it looks in the photos. Exactly. What you can’t see in the photos is the amazing host. Noelle met us on site even though our arrival was delayed, and took her time to show us where everything was located in every single room. And then there was very large starter gift basket on the kitchen counter…..which meant no need for grocery shopping until the next morning. In short, if you need a base for a group to explore Killarney, Ring of Kerry, Dingle, etc….stop looking, and stay here. Kevin Vancouver, Canada

Unbelievable Wedding Experience
Our bridal suite had some sort of mix up and we didn’t end up having a place for the bridal party to get ready. Thankfully this house had more than enough space for the entire party to get ready including the grooms side! we had a lovely time at this house and would recommend for anyone for any occasion :)

Fabulous stay
We had a fabulous stay at the house! It was a group of 7 of us including 3 kids. Noelle was so welcoming and went over everything with us so we knew where everything was and the house was perfectly stocked. We had so much room and the kids enjoyed looking at the cows and playing in the grass. It was a great location for Killarney activities. 100/10, would recommend over and over again!

We had a fabulous time in the house which is ideally located for a quick drive into Killarney. Only thing I would change would be the size of the beds, the Queen beds did feel small. Apart from that everything else was perfect!

We rented this amazing spot when my husband and I and our siblings travelled to Ireland. The home was stunning! Spacious, elegant, spotless and beautifully appointed.

We (3 families) stayed at this property to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday. It was even better than the pictures and our expectations. The host, Noelle, was generous and accommodating.

Family reunion
An amazing house with a lovely host who provided a delicious welcome package! Thank you Noelle! We were a group of 10 and never felt crowded. From the patio with wine, coffee, and rambunctious teenagers (cows). The kitchen and dining space was very spacious, grand and such a great space for gathering. The ensuite rooms were so perfect for our large group with plenty of hot water and privacy when needed. Hiking in Killarney NP and biking the Dingle coast was a highlight in the area.

Wonderful Stay at Beautiful Knockcarrig House
We loved our stay at Knockcarrig House. We had 2 grown families staying at the property, for a total of 9. The house was laid out perfectly to accommodate our needs. The five separate en-suites were greatly appreciated. The kitchen was very well stocked. A large dining area could accommodate all. A separate laundry room with separate washer and dryer was great. And Noelle was wonderful. She stayed in touch both before and during our stay. The tour she provided of the house was great … she thought of everything we could possibly need. It was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Ireland. We are looking for reasons to come back and stay at Knockcarrig house again!
