Bar Cillatah was is a wonderful house in a beautiful setting.
The house was clean, comfortable and close to the lovely town of Kenmare. Views from the house are amazing. We were able to do day trips from there such as The Ring of Kerry and Kinsale. Jer was an attentive host. We definitely recommend Bar Cillatah!

The property is stunning and for the most part a great stay. The house needs a 'spring' cleaning/update with new linens/pillows and possibly a mattress topper. Jer was very helpful when needed. Thank you for introducing us to a great cultural experience!

We had an extremely comfortable and relaxed stay in this property. It is immaculately clean, spacious and lovely and bright. It is also extremely cosy, well insulated and easy to heat. The location is very private and the elevation of the site provided panoramic views over Kenmare Bay. Jer was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any issues. We hope to return.

First time using Kenmare Rentals. Found the whole experience hassel free. Would have no hesitation in recommending them. From the moment we picked up the keys, directions to property very clear and we were provided with all the information we needed for accessing hse, utilities etc. Lovely home, beautiful location, look forwarding to returning. Special thanks to Jer for making this property feel like a home away from home.

Excellent House Excellent Location
This is a beautiful property - easy to sit around and do nothing. Easy to spend time in. We were two couples - only dined out one evening. Perfect. Kenmare is an excellent location for touring.

Lovely place with fabulous views over Kenmare Bay
We had a lovely stay in this fabulous cottage, high up on the hillside overlooking Kenmare Bay. It's a huge place, with plenty of space indoors and acres outdoors - great for kids to play and grown-ups to relax. I really miss the views - the sunsets over the bay are to die for and waking up to see a number of deer on the front lawn each day was a treat. Loads to do in the local area with the Beara Peninsula on your doorstep and a pub with good food within walking distance.

Beautifully Peaceful Getaway
The property is in a beautiful peaceful location, but only a couple of minutes drive from Kenmare. My family and I spent a lovely week there, and have no issue in recommending it. The owner was always available if needed.

Coastal Mountains of Ireland
Great location on a hill overlooking Kenmare Bay two miles form Kenmare. Deer and pheasant in front yard. Home very clean and comfortable. Everything was in tip-top working order. Host was helpful and not overbearing. Provided plenty of wood for great (not smoky) fireplace.

The best house ever!!!
We have stayed in several times in Ireland and this is the nicest house ever!
The house, the park, the quietness, the "greenkeepers" - Perfect!
The distance to Kenmare - Perfect! Taxi Niall Lynch - Super Service!
And the price -Super!
Thanks, Jer! We will definitely come again....

The house is very spaceous and there is very little to complain about. The site is very beautiful and generous.
One star less because of the annoying arrival: after a long day of tavelling, we first had to make ourselves familiar with the heating system as we were expected by a cold house. Furthermore, i don't agree that guests have to pay extra for gas and electricity, especially in a house announced as a luxury home.

Myself, my Husband, Son, Daughter-in-Law and 8 month old Grandson had a wonderful week in a beautiful property. The location was perfect with panoramic views over Kenmare Bay. Jer Foley the owner could not have been more helpful or accommodating and we certainly look forward to returning there. Our visit in late September was blessed with beautiful weather and we were able to sit and enjoy the evening sun looking out at Magillycuddy's Reeks whilst the wild deer grazed on our front lawn less than 20 meters from us.

Peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings
We had a great time in the house. It was a pleasure seeing the deer in the morning and having a cup of tea on the terrace. Plenty to see from there, though you have to drive to the hiking places. We explored a bit the Kerry Ring but actually preferred the Ring of Beara close to the house because it´s not so busy and very wild and beautiful. Communication with the owner and check-in were easy.

Bar Cill Atha - review
Bar Cill Atha is a fantastic property. Inside, it's tastefully furnished to a high standard and is a very comfortable and pleasant place to spend time. Outside, it's little short of magical - offering fantastic views over the Kenmare River with the awesome MacGillycuddy Reeks in the distance. It's also very convenient - just a few minutes by car from Kenmare, which is surely the best town in Kerry! But at the same time, Bar Cill Atha's position gives the property a strong sense of seclusion and privacy - a real escape from the world! It would be hard to recommend the property too highly. My wife and I will certainly be returning!

A most comfortable base to relax and explore Kenmare and its surrounds.
Bar Cillatha is lovely comfortable house with a great view over Kenmare Bay and beyond. Its spacious bedrooms and bathrooms provide a great sense of ease and relaxation. It has all you could need for self catering and in winter it is really snug by the fire. In summer it would be great for a barbecue. You can go on great walks or cycles directly from the house or from a short drive away. It is only a few minutes into Kenmare town with its range of cafes, shops and restaurants to suit everyone. So whether you want a quiet time or lots of activity it is a super base. Jer is a great host and anything needed is taken care of without delay. Very highly recommended.

We loved this house.
The house is very spacious and comfortable, tastefully decorated and has a lovely view across the bay. The setting is very private, quiet and peaceful and on a clear night the starry skies are breathtaking. There is a deer family that grazes at dawn and dusk and we look at them while they are watching us....Highly recommend.

The accommodation was beautiful, very clean, spacious, fantastic views and everything we needed
What a fantastic place. There was an immediate feeling of peace and relaxation. The views were amazing even on the misty days looking across the bay. The deer in the garden everyday both morning and evening made it magical. Kenmare is a lovely town with plenty of pubs, places to eat and many with live music. I will be going back next year. 10/10 for everything.
