About this cottage rental
On Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way! A beautiful, modern, extended three bedroomed, self catering rental house only five minutes drive from the bustling market town of Kenmare in the south west of Ireland on the Ring of Kerry.
This self catering vacation cottage, which is in its own grounds of over two acres alongside the Cleady River has a (hidden) waterfall giving the relaxing sound of running water, has all the conveniences you would require on a self catering holiday. This self catering cottage has Wi-Fi, satellite TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher, safe and three bedrooms which sleep up to six (two doubles and one twin). Two bedrooms are en suite with a further bathroom for the third room and a separate guest bathroom with wet room. A cot and high chair can be made available on request at no additional cost.
For those cooler evenings and nights there is an open fire place for burning logs and turf. Relax in the sittingroom with a feature fireplace and stove whilst listening to your music through the BOSE stereo system.
We welcome well behaved house trained pets (small fee applies).
Kenmare is a beautiful heritage town located in Kerry, southwest Ireland. It is about a 2 hour drive from Shannon, 90 mins from Cork and 3.5 hours from Dublin.

We loved this house! It was very private and quiet. Close to town. It was perfect for the four of us. The manager was very attentive to any issues that came up. Convenient place to stay for Killarney NP, Muckross house and the ring of Kerry.

Cready River Cottage was absolutely fabulous. Great location and a very modern property with all the mod cons you could wish for. Wonderful outdoor space with gardens and a bubbling stream. We had lovely breakfasts outside with all the family and the weather was an added bonus. Will definitely rebook in the future.

We had a wonderful time

The property is wonderful. The house is gorgeous. We used it as a home base for our day excursions. Sometimes two hours back after a long day. My advice would be to make sure you know what your adventure goals are when booking. The town of Kenmare is wonderful. We went every evening for dinner and strolling.
5.0
The house is spacious and so comfortable. The kitchen was really well equipped. There is lots to do in the area, so plan at least a four day stay.

Everything was clean, comfortable and cozy. Location was very quiet.
Even though we used google maps, and instructions from the owner, we were lost in trying to locate the cottage but a kind neighbor assisted us. (Addresses are not posted on houses or roads in Ireland which is different from America)
There was plenty of room for the 4 of us staying, and each had space to move about. It was nice to have a working fireplace to sit next to as well. The rooms are spacious but the beds are firm.
It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer since we had been traveling around previously.
We would stay here again.
5.0
John was very accommodating. The house is well appointed and while only minutes from Kensale, is down a small road that makes it quite private and quiet. We loved hearing the birds and the stream and nothing else..
Bedrooms are large , beds comfortable.
We cooked almost every night and found the kitchen to have all the dishes/pots and pans needed
5.0
Beautiful, comfortable, well equipped home. Great, quiet location a few miles out of Kenmare. Only stayed 3 nights and wish we'd had more time. Close to the Ring of Kerry. Would stay there again.
5.0
My husband, Mark and l, along with friends, Larry and Betty Ann, enjoyed a spectacular week long stay in the cottage. The furnishings were warm and welcoming and the house well-equipped with all kitchen, bedroom and bathroom essentials. My favorite room was the sitting room - so inviting for evening cocktails and conversation. The outdoor setting was beautiful, with its manicured lawn and blooming flowers, such as vibrant blue hydrangeas. The backyard was bordered by the ever-flowing Cleady River, providing a serene atmosphere. We enjoyed lovely morning walks long the country road. The location was well situated close to Kenmare, which is a lovely village near the Rings of Kerry and Beara, with a little longer drive to Dingle. The cottage was the perfect base for our day trips. We highly recommend this property, and will look forward to staying there again on a future visit to Ireland.

I love that this cottage was pretty secluded yet close to town! Perfect way to end our time in Ireland
5.0
The whole family including kids, grandparents and Alba our dog loved the cottage. We all want to come back.
It was lovely to come back each day to the cottage after exploring different parts of the beautiful Ring of Kerry. We loved the decor (stealing a few ideas), enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine, and it was great to have different lounges for everyone to do their thing.
5.0
The cottage was perfect. Very well equipped clean and beautifully decorated. We had lots of room to relax and especially enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. Location was good, very close to Kenmare. Would highly recommend.

Cottage by the brook
The cottage was very peaceful and relaxing and a great place to unwind after a long day. We found it a good location to use as a hub to explore the southwestern part of Ireland. It accommodated the six of us adults very well.

The perfect place to stay
This cottage was perfect for my family. There was a main floor bedroom for my father-in-law, who does not need to do stairs, and twin beds for my kids. The third room was perfect for me and my husband. The cottage is spacious and to me was magical. We cooked in the kitchen, played cards at the kitchen table, did yoga in the large sitting room as well as relaxed there with a glass of wine after dinner. We were close to town, but far enough away with a big yard for the kids to run and play in after a day of adventure or touring. We hope to return someday, maybe for a longer stay!

Superb cottage outside Kenmare
A truly great little find for us to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Kenmare and surrounding areas. The cottage is very well equipped and the photos don’t do it justice! Spacious and yet cosy with the sound of the river at the end of the garden. Gardens are beautiful and well cared for. Would highly recommend!

Great week in Kenmare
The property has fantastic grounds and great space inside for a family of 5 or 6.
We enjoyed our week a lot, it is outside of Kenmare but very close by car so easy to go for dinner or shopping.
The house is well equipped and has everything we needed.
Wifi is ok, not great. It was sufficient for us though.
The communication with John was very easy and he answered every question we had very quickly.
I have no reservation in recommending this house.

Fabulous property in fantastic location
Cleady River Cottage was a relaxing haven, perfectly situated for exploring the beauties of Kerry and West Cork. The house is top notch - stylish, comfortable and well-equipped. Shops and restaurants are within a short drive, and the large well-maintained garden with nearby stream is an added bonus. We very much enjoyed our time here, and would love to visit again.

Fantastic holiday home with everything you could ask for.
This is a beautiful property with extensive gardens located just outside Kenmare town. It is quiet and peaceful yet near enough to avail of the many bars and restaurants in the vibrant town of Kenmare. The house retains traditional charms yet is fully equipped with all the mod cons. It is ideal for a family with children and dogs are welcome. A brilliant base to see all that Kerry has to offer.

Beautiful property
The property and house were beautiful. It would have been extremely helpful to have an accessible property manager. We arrived at sunset and the house was very cold. It took quite a bit of effort to get the heat going in the house. The internet did not work and we did contact the owner. There were issues with plumbing, etc that should be addressed. I don't think there is a hands on property manager. No soap in showers, bathrooms which we found odd. The property and house are beautiful but some things were greatly lacking

Best location in Kenmare!
Wow, what a cottage. nestled in the woods and so close to Kenmare. Running stream in the back yard and plenty of privacy for our family. This was our best place to stay in Ireland.

Private luxury in Kenmare
This was a wonderful retreat from busy days and nights in the town of Kenmare or sightseeing nearby. The house is spacious, beautifully furnished, and it was exceptionally clean upon arrival. The surrounding grounds were in superb condition and set the house apart from main roads and local traffic. The owners were very accommodating and responsive; though we did not need to call them, we knew we could if necessary. We loved our stay and highly recommend it to anyone wanting the comforts of home while traveling.

Lovely property
We definitely felt that we were on holiday in this luxury home. The grounds were lovely to enjoy with good weather. The house was immaculate.
Unfortunately a negative was lack of response from the owner when we had problems with internet connection. Even the manager had made a phone call on our behalf. This created an issue for us as we had an unintended business issue arise which we could not address.

All the comforts of home
Cleady River Cottage was just as John Wallace said it would be. Well appointed, comfortable, great location and his personal touch if we needed help with anything.
We have visited Ireland many times and this was one of our best experiences.
We look forward to another stay at Cleady River.
