About this cottage rental
Built in 1780, The Priory is a truly unique piece of property built by the local Lord Kenmare for a French aristocrat fleeing the French Revolution. Inundated with old world character, this property of the O'Donoghue Family is a place of welcome, comfort and intense charm.
Set on the door step of Killarney National Park we have two Courtyard Stone Cottages all of various design and layout. The cottages are tucked into a very beautiful and quite walled courtyard setting.
The Loft and Coach House cottages were meticulously restored between 2004 and 2006 and will offer you a retreat in style and comfort.
So if you are interested in hiking, biking, golfing, shopping or want to take a cooking class all this can be arranged. Killarney town centre is 1 km or a 10 minute stroll, in the opposite direction over the river you are immediately upon a pedestrian way snaking its way 2km into Killarney's 11,000 acre National Park, Muckross House & Gardens. A 5 minute walk to the INEC. Ask about mid-season specials.
Also ask about airport pick ups or Tim driving you around 'The Ring' and Dingle.
Please contact us by email or telephone and we will answer all your questions that you have.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Tim & Bernadette’s Loft at the Priory. We just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more, but we had a busy travel schedule. Everything was just as described, and they were very accommodating to our late arrival. We would definitely stay here again!

The host is a wealth of useful information. The cottage is spacious, well equipped, and matches the pictures/descriptions well. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Oh, almost forgot, they have two dogs that greet you with love.

My family of 4 had more than enough space to relax at this wonderful loft. Ideal location allowed us to visit many sights in the area. Hosts were top notch, answering so many of my questions before we even arrived in town. Greatly appreciated their insight before and during our vacation. Highly recommend.

Lovely spacious 3 BR cottage in nice area of town near river. An oasis with courtyard and back garden. Gorgeous plants and flowers everywhere. Super helpful and responsive hosts. Highly recommend.

We stayed for 3 nights with a family of 6. The property seems to be a historic building that has been meticulously renovated for modern times, without loosing the feel of Irish tradition.
It is at the edge of town, with a 15-20 minute walk to the center of town.
It feels like old-Ireland with a modern makeup. Definitely would go there again.

The Priory is an amazing place to stay when exploring Killarney and the surrounding area.

Absolutely perfect. Our family (2 adults,3 kids) could not have imagined what a true delight our stay would be. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. The loft is much bigger than we imagined and left us wanting for nothing. Thank you Bernadette for everything. Truly our favorite part of our month long holiday!

My husband and I just finished up a fantastic week-long stay in the Loft. Bernadette and Tim were superb hosts and they have done a remarkable job in restoring their property with modern amenities while keeping its historic charm. Very comfy and private but within walking distance to Killarney town, Killarney National Park, and Ross Castle. The heated slate floors, access to taps with sparkling and still water, and 10-cup electric coffee maker were the icing on the cake! We loved every minute of our stay and hope to return to the Priory one day!

This property has all the magical culture but with the space for a family to enjoy. The amenities were great. Being so close to town where everything is walkable but still have privacy was perfection. Highly recommend this centrally located spot.

This was our first time in Ireland. Killarney is a great place with access to all the best spots to give you the Ireland experience. The priory provided our home away from home with a cozy garden rustic feel. While it was a good walk to Killarney it provided the perfect spot for the 6 of us to enjoy Ireland!
5.0
Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay. There was ample space and lots of privacy for all. This location was close to absolutely everything you could want in this part of Ireland- walking distance to great eateries & grocery stores. Right on the ring of Kerry and the Killarney National Park. It was a great homebase for us during our 5 day stay.
A few things to note when renting an authentic & historic space that has been restored……the building itself is old and can be a bit damp. Also difficult to get heat to all levels evenly….top floor was a little chilly.
All in all would definitely recommend and stay again.

We pulled up to this amazing and magical place. Absolutely lovely property tucked off a main road. We were so close to everything and there were awesome touches like free sparkling and still water out of a tap. We picked apples off the tree before our day trips. The place is so charming.

This was our most comfortable accommodation during our Ireland trip and we wished we had stayed longer. Beds, bathrooms, linens were perfect and we had everything we needed. It had plenty of room for our group of 7, including children and adults, it was in a great location for the immediate area as well as day trips, and the host was very helpful. My children also appreciated borrowing the resident pups!

I rented this space for a 3 week adventure in Ireland and it was a wonderful experience. The home was the best combination of new (appliances, etc) and old (cool gardens, beautiful old Stine buildings). Very walkable to downtown and nearby the National Park.

My hosts and their family were kind, available and helpful. Very responsive to our needs. Don't forget to visit the Killarney Brewery. Highly recommend

Cool rustic property in country setting. 15-20 mins. walking distance to town and National Park trails. The 3 bedroom “Loft’ met all our needs, including washer/dryer, dishwasher, fireplace.
Minor points for improvement: The yard/grounds at back where the guest accommodations are, and the cupboards with lots of random dishes, could use lots of tidying up, and dishwasher and fireplace needed to be emptied upon our arrival.

had a great 6 night stay at the home, Bernadette and Tim were available and more than helpful, home is in perfect location and the house was perfect for what we needed, all supplies and needs were met.
We had an issue with a leaky shower and they fixed immediately and it did not disrupt our stay.
I will certainly utilize the home again and will support Killarney Brewing - great beer- pizza
Thanks Bernadette and Tim for the hospitality.

Pleasant stay at a lovely home
The home was clean and spacious. We loved the location as it was walkable to the town center but also closer to the park and near the river. The filtered water and sparkling water on tap were a nice touch. The host was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions throughout our stay. We would stay here again.

Incredible Property close to town
Incredible historic property. You really feel immersed in a different time. Tim has done a wonderful job with the loft. It is huge and nicely appointed with great kitchen and comfortable rooms. Would stay here again and refer to friends.

This place is just perfect for a family holiday. Lots of space for all the family and such a homely feel. Bernadette and Tim were so nice and always there if we needed anything and help arrange trips. Our children loved the greeting they got from Maizey and Teddy when we’d arrive home or in the morning. We cannot wait to visit again.

Cozy, Irish Setting Everything to Fulfill Your Dream of Visiting Ireland
The stonework, hardwood floors, doors and fixtures are beautiful. I like a clean place and this was super clean! The beds were comfortable, the duvet covers, sheets and pillows made you sleep like a baby! The kitchen is fully loaded, and the outside is magical ! The property owner is on site and always available, and very helpful and friendly. And his two doggies are warm and happy. The long driveway from the main road takes you to a hidden gem of a home. Plenty of on site parking and loads of restaurants close by.

Wonderful holiday in Killarney, IE
This stay was a beautiful, restful stay in the middle of a busy ten-day vacation overseas. I'd highly recommend the place. It's location was perfect to see all the sights we had planned in the southwestern part of Ireland.

Old World
Our 3 night stay could not have been better!!! Bernadette was a wonderful host and the dogs were always there to meet you after a long day of exploring. The accomadations are excellent and the WiFi is fast and steady for sending all your photos home to family and friends. Clean comfortable and the bonus of the filtered and sparkling water are just a few of the endless amenities. If we are ever in Killarney again we will stay again.

Absolutely beautiful rental, and great people!!
Four of us stayed in one of their cottages for five days and we absolutely loved everything about it. Spacious kitchen, spacious rooms, huge whirlpool tub. We did a lot of hiking and climbing in the area and it really felt like coming back home to comfort.
I also made a mistake in booking and our group stayed a day later than we were supposed to. Bernadette was completely understanding and flexible and everything was rectified the morning we left. I really appreciated their kindness.
The location was also great, just a mile outside of the downtown area of Killarney, but easily accessible to golf courses, hiking trails Muckross House and Ross Castle.
We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anybody staying in the Killarney area.

Wonderful Place to stay
This is a beautiful, clean and comfortable place to stay. It is the perfect location for exploring Co. Kerry and the surrounding region. Owners were friendly and ready to give advice on where to eat and get groceries. They also sent information ahead of time on places worth seeing during our visit.
The kids really enjoyed the four legged greeter each night we arrived back at the Loft. Teddy is the cutest and sweetest little dog :)
Thank you so much.
