About this cottage rental
Cottage Mary Rose is Celebrating it's 21st year of hosting guests! Cottage Mary Rose is a beautiful 18th century, white-washed, thatched roof cottage. One of Ireland's few remaining, it is what you dream of when thinking of Ireland. And with 21st Century amenities including increased water pressure, central heating, Jacuzzi tub and even a hot tub on our expansive rear deck overlooking a rushing stream below. Nestled in the pastoral valley of Mount Eagle. Hughes Bar (Pub)is just a 5 minute walk from the cottage. We boast an all natural garden. It is surrounded by its original dry stone walls and fuchsia. County Kerry is considered to be one of the most breathtaking places on this earth! There is so much close by to explore here. If you need a place to escape and get away from it all...…...you have found it. The peaceful country setting with amazing spa features, a rushing stream and a private cottage garden of your own! And it offers complete privacy.
You are welcomed by the bright red double door. As you enter, you get the feeling that you have stepped back in time. With its stone fireplace and high lofted ceilings in the sitting room it is a great room for conversation and games. Antiques fill the cottage with traditional and comfortable furniture as well. It is amazing to think of what this cottage has survived. It has truly come a long way from traditional Irish life to having the luxuries we dream of. There is a Jacuzzi tub and dishwasher as well as a bright red Aga stove so you can actually enjoy cooking. Truly an ideal place to call home while exploring the many treasures of CountyKerry. We do have WiFi and cable TV with many channels.
We welcome our guests with Irish treats.
The church and Kearney's small grocer are both next to Hughe's. Cottage Mary Rose is located in north Kerry. This makes Tralee and Killarney reachable in about 25 minutes. Also, County Cork is close to reaching the famed Blarney Castle is about an hour's drive.
We all need to escape and refresh our minds and souls. Being in nature and treating ourselves is the best medicine there is. Come, relax and enjoy the spa features and enjoy the beauty of the country, waiting to embrace you. We look forward to having you as our guest's. We are a proud member of Failte Ireland.

We spent our entire 2 week vacation at Cottage Mary Rose as our home base from which to explore the southwest part of Ireland. It was perfect! Genuine Ireland at its best. The cottage itself is beautiful, cozy, a sanctuary to retreat to after a full day of touring. The manager and caretaker are amazing and so welcoming. The gardens surrounding the cottage and the creek beside it add even more beauty and serenity to this very special haven. We’ve left a part of our hearts here in this lovely place and hope to return soon!

If you want a traditional Irish cottage, this is perfect. Not new and modern, but charming and cozy. Country setting, but near town.

Our stay here was wonderful. This cottage has been around for a long time and we appreciated staying in a little piece of history. The cottage felt like our home away from home. We loved the huge deck in the back as well as the hot tub! Great communication with property managers & hosts.

We loved this vrbo, it was an authentic Irish cottage. Communication with the host and the local people who help take care of the cottage was great. Timmy the groundskeeper was extremely helpful upon our arrival at the location. Very spaceous, with a large fireplace, full kitchen, washer, dryer. Lots of history and photos of the cottage over the years. Central to Killarney and Dingle. Our favourite!!!

We [family of 6, 3 adults, 3 kids (12, 10, 8)] recently traveled across all of Ireland. We had 3 nights booked at this home. Once arriving, we were instructed to park across the street, and to be careful crossing as its a busy street. That should have been our first red flag. We parked at the CEMETARY (2nd red flag), and entered the property. The grounds are quite lovely, not at all a place for a kids to play however. There is a running stream behind the property, and no safe guard to keep the kids from falling down the ravene. Watch your head when entering through the front door, its a low clearance. There are 2 bathrooms, one where there was no functioning light, and the other with a shower the perfect size for our young kids, maybe. There was very little to no space to put any of our luggage. The house is maxed out on decor, leaving no room to wiggle. We knew immediately that we would not be staying, as none of the kids were happy, and 2 of the adults were quite displeased. So we contacted the owner, William, and asked if we could receive a refund for 2 of the nights and our cleaning fee. He offered to return the cleaning fee and nothing else and requested we not leave a review. He has since opted to not reply to me. This home would offer a rural Ireland experience, and I would not recommend it for small kids. We left within an hour of arriving, and didnt let this one hiccup in our trip affect our plans.

Cute, traditional Irish cottage! We loved all of the photos and neat antiques in the home. Cottage was well cleaned and exterior gardens and patio areas were amazing. Wish we had more time and dry weather to sit and enjoy coffee on the back deck. Kids loved the hot tub! We appreciated having a clothes dryer. There were plenty of extra blankets and towels. Communication was always quick and very helpful. Location was great for all of our day trips. We would return again!

This was exactly what we were looking for and more! The cutest little cottage, which was actually very spacious and comfortable, had so much character, but also had modern amenities including the most delightful hot tub. Great shower also. Loved our stay. Would add that the wifi only reached to the kitchen, so wouldn't be ideal for someone who needed to really work, but for holiday it was great!

From the start communication and the plans went smoothly-
This cottage was more than what we could have hoped for. The amazing fireplace prepared and ready to go with Irish Turf. The home itself decorated with much love & attention- Clean and cozy! Stocked with special snacks/coffee and ample supplies for our stay-not one detail
overlooked
Felt I was welcomed into a charming home of a friend- Thank you for sharing such a wonderful Irish home! We will have fond memories of our lovely stay!

We couldn't have asked for more!! Mary Rose cottage is the exact thatched roof cottage I picture when I think of Ireland! The half doors and beautiful gardens just add to it!! We enjoyed the hot tub and even through some true Irish rain drops! Delightful! It was so inviting to be greeted at check in with a fire going and everything. Thank you for offering such a sweet and secluded Irish experience for us! And thank you for the special honeymoon treats! It was perfect!

This vacation has been in the planning for over a year. I booked the Cottage Mary Rose over a year ago for a three week getaway to a genuine old time Irish Cottage in a small country town in county Kerry. We’ve been to Ireland before but both times on the quick traveler see everything vacation. Our desire this time was to settle down and experience the Irish lifestyle in the country.
All the pictures on the site still don’t do the cottage justice as to how quickly you feel at home and settled in. We spent three glorious weeks exploring at a leisurely pace and getting to meet many local citizens and business people. Walked to church, shopped at local grocery store and had a few pints at Hughes Bar.
The neighboring town of Castleisland has many restaurants and pubs. We became regulars at Pat’s Cafe for breakfast and a late lunch. The food is simply as good as any you can find in all of Ireland.
We thank William for creating a special place in the Cottage Mary Rose and Mary and Mike for making sure everything is perfect for the guests. I can say with certainty we will be back.

My family and I were delighted with Cottage Mary Rose. Very comfortable, charming and well kept. The deck and grounds were beautiful. Easy parking and Mary and Michael were very responsive. Nearby Castleisland had everything you could need.Easy day trips to Dingle, Galway and Cliffs of Moher.

I had been dreaming of staying at Cottage Mary Rose for a number of years. My Irish dream finally came true in time for us to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary at Cottage Mary Rose. The photos on the website could not express the rush of feelings I experienced as Mary and Mike took us through the cottage when we arrived on 31 August 2022. Those feelings were that I was home, that for the next 8 days I could experience what my Irish ancestors must have felt living their lives in the beautiful southwest of Ireland. I could write about the cottage being in a great location for daytrips by car to Killarney, Dingle, and Cork, or about the lovely gardens (especially the roses) and babbling creek surrounding the cottage, or the starlit nights spent in the hot tub toasting each other with "slainte is tainte". Before we knew it, it was time to leave Cordal for LaHinch. As we passed through the red door, and the red gate, for the last time, we knew how our ancestors must have felt when they left their Irish home for the last time, to head for a new home. But unlike those ancestors, we will be returning to our Irish home - Cottage Mary Rose.

Lovely cottage.
This beautiful thatched roof cottage is beautifully maintained and immaculate. Lovely garden. It is on a busy street so I wouldn’t recommend walking even a short distance as there is no sidewalk. We had an amazing time in incredible County Kerry.

Dream of a lifetime
If you ever wondered how our Irish ancestors lived ,this property will help you to understand.As a youngster I spent time every summer at my grandparents house in Chicago. They both came from county Kerry and this cottage in county Kerry made me feel what their life may have been like before they.left for America.The beauty of the place is that all the upgrades like a hot tub, a Hugh jetted tub, plenty of hot water, a dishwasher,etc do not detract from the essential feel of the place.

A gem, you won't want to go home.
This cottage is the ultimate chill out stay, its cute, cosy, warm, fun and beautiful. The flowers in the garden, the hottub over the bubbling River below, the huge open fire, how near it is to everywhere youd like to explore in Kerry. We cancelled a few day trips to just stay in the cottage and relax.. And it was sooooo glorious. Xx hope im lucky enough to get the pleasure to visit again. Xx

Amazing stay in a beautiful location
My partner and I had an amazing stay in this beautiful cottage, we were so sad to leave! We are newly engaged and couldn’t have thought of a better place to celebrate! The cottage was spotless, with lovely touches like fresh bread, crisps and chocolate on arrival! The hot tub was amazing and we loved the peaceful setting outside with the sound of the birds and the stream. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat and the hosts were very helpful and prompt in any queries we had!

Beautiful break away
Cottage is so quaint and comfy . If you want to get back to old Ireland this is the place . It had amazing old features including an Aga in the kitchen which gave unreal heat and lovely to cook in. The gardens and decking outside beside the stream is absolutely breath taking and gets you back to nature We had a small issue with the hot tub when we arrived but the property managers Denis and Eileen couldn't have been nicer and more helpful such nice people and got it going again and checked on us every so often to see if we needed anything. All in all it's a little treasure in the heart of Kerry

Lovely stay in the Kerry Countryside
Quiet, character property with modern amenities. The super king bed was comfortable, showers, bath tub and hot tub were wonderful. Cooking on a AGA was a bit of an adventure but we got the hand of it. Only half an hour from several major natural attractions. And pet friendly :)

More than we could have hoped for
What a beautiful and warm inviting atmosphere. The manager and his wife were great. They even baked brown bread and had it waiting for us when we arrived. If you want old Irish traditional home comfort with modern convenience this is the place to stay.

Perfect spot for a week-long getaway in the country
I booked this property because of the AGA-style cooker. After our visit to this beautiful cottage, we fell in love with Ireland, particularly County Kerry. William was very communicative during our stay, and the caretaker, Dennis was outstanding. There were some issues with electricity service before our arrival so the cottage was a little chilly, but Dennis had communicated the entire day. When we arrived he had a fire roaring and the cottage was nice and toasty. The rooms were very comfortable and the cottage has anything you need for a retreat to the country. Do visit Hugh’s pub for a pint and Garvey’s grocery in Castleisland for all your supplies. Both are great! The gardens and hot tub at the property are stunning. William has done a great job here! The location of Mary Rose is ideal for visiting many great places in Ireland; we saw much of the Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park, Killarney town, the Dingle peninsula (this is a must-see!), Cork, Limerick, Blarney Castle, and so many more! Williams recommendations are great, so do take him up on them. Book this cottage for a cozy, relaxing trip to one of the most beautiful places on earth!

Amazing!
We knew this place was special before we arrived, but still could not believe how amazing the house and gardens were.
Visiting from the USA, it felt like staying in a museum. We were fascinated to hear it was at one time a rambling house. The gardens were beautiful, and at night with their subtle lighting, were magical. The welcoming vibe was impressive. The caretakers greeted us with freshly baked bread and then left us to be, unless we needed them.
We highly recommend this house!

Irish Heaven
I can’t imagine a more wonderful experience than staying at Mary Rose. It was perfect for our family and we will always remember it! Eileen and Denis were great and even brought us a lovely welcome gift of homemade bread. So grateful for a magical place to stay!

Perfect haven in a quiet and peaceful location
The cottage is amazing, beautifully maintained inside and out. A really nice mix of traditional and modern, in such a really peaceful location. We stayed for just a couple of days but it was really enjoyable, very well located to get to the best that this region has to offer.
The gardens are really well maintained and it feels so wonderfully remote (but is in striking distance of town).
Highly recommend a visit to Mary Rose Cottage in Coral.
