Oh the view!
This was the perfect location for our families trip to county Kerry. Close to the ring of Kerry, Dingle peninsula, and Kilarney. The three cottage set up was also great for multi-family accommodations. Finally, I cant say enough about the view! We would 100% stay here again.

6 Nights at Barralach
Peter said words would not do the views from the house justice, and he was right - simply stunning. We were able to access different hiking options of varying difficulty directly from the property. The house and cottages were comfortable and very well equipped. We had not realized the bedroom space in the main house was not fully enclosed as a separate room, but it was fine nonetheless. An earlier reviewer recommended renting a small SUV for the stay, and I am glad I followed that advice as the driveway up to the house is by necessity steep and also a bit rough. Restaurants, shops and water activities were 20 minutes away by car. Peter and Eliza, the housekeeper, were readily accessible by phone. The dishwasher happened to break during our stay, and Eliza quickly facilitated a replacement. All in all, a unique and lovely property to which we would gladly return.

Attractive and comfortable cottages in an outstandingly beautiful location
This was a perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary/birthday with all our family. The three cottages made ideal accommodation for ourselves, our son and daughter and their families, and we all appreciated the outstandingly beautiful views and walks from the cottages as well as the proximity to Glenbeigh and the amazing beach at Rossbeigh. The three cottages were very comfortable and the main cottage very well equipped. There was also the bonus of having Betty to cook for us on a couple of evenings. One family was rather concerned about their car’s low clearance on the final rather rough track to the cottage, but the rest of us coped well. Peter, the owner, was extremely helpful providing much useful information and answering questions immediately from the time of booking throughout our stay. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for Vrbo who provided last minute information some of which was outdated regarding electricity. Peter confirmed there is no extra charge for electricity.

Beautiful views with rustic charm
We stayed in this property as a family with eight people aged 2 months to 62 years old. First the pros: The property is in an idyllic setting with magnificent views overlooking the hills and lake, and we saw the most beautiful rainbows nearly every day. It was fun to see the sheep and lambs grazing just outside the windows. The main cottage had comfortable furnishings, and the kitchen was well stocked. The main cottage also had a nice communal space for family dinners as well as for relaxing and enjoying the view together. It was also nice to have 3 separate cottages. This worked well for our extended family. Also, Peter was very responsive and easy to work with. The cons: The cottages were somewhat musty. Several family members with mold allergies had issues with this. The lake cottage was buggy - there were water bugs on the floor and a slug in one of the beds. There were also many, many flies buzzing around in the main cottage when we first arrived. It took us a few days to finally eradicate all of them. This was likely an anomaly due to the recent long drought though. Finally, with sheep comes sheep poop. We had to step very carefully to avoid it. These negatives aside, overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous Holiday Escape
Our family stayed at the farm for a week and it was absolutely magical. We had four adults, two kids, and a toddler with us, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out with extra space. It is perfectly situated for adventuring around the Ring of Kerry - we were easily able to visit several of the nearby towns, all within an hours drive or less. The nearby town of Killorglin was very cute and accessible for groceries as well as some great restaurant recommendations by our host, Peter. Rossbeigh Strand, the nearby beach, was a beautiful and quiet little spot. The property itself was gorgeous and felt like being in a fairytale - three small cottages with sheep all around, and a green forest backdrop. The kitchen was fully equipped and the wood stove was lovely to sit by, even during our summer trip, while we watched the sheep just on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling windows that make up the main house. The kids loved the hike up the back hill behind the cottages that offered the most amazing views we had ever seen - a panoramic dream of mountains, the bay, lakes, and hills all captured in one quick hike. Peter was a wonderful host and was readily available whenever we needed. He was kind and friendly and had great recommendations. We would recommend staying here to anyone, and hope to be back someday.

Heaven on Earth
Barralach is a place that I thought lived only in my dreams. There are no photos or words that can fully capture the magic of the place. Nestled into hills blanketed in wildflowers lies a family of stone cottages straight out of a storybook. You will awake to views of fog-kissed hilltops and open your cottage door to find a family of friendly sheep sleeping at the threshold. After a cup of coffee by the fireplace next the window overlooking Lough Caragh, you can set out on foot to the hiking trail behind the house which leads you to one of the most breathtaking vistas I’ve ever had the pleasure to behold. That quick and easy trail feeds into a network of hiking trails that could keep you busy all week, or you can make the 5 minute drive into town for stone oven sourdough pizza or gourmet picnic provisions at Emilie’s, a cup of coffee and a goji berry brownie at UpCycle coffee cart, or a walk along beautiful Rossbeigh Beach. It was a perfect launching point for day trips to Killarney, valentia island, Kerry cliffs and more. We have deemed Barralach our “happy place” and our family’s “heaven on earth”. We hope to return year after year. Thank you Peter and family for sharing your wonderful home with us. We are so grateful.

We enjoyed the amazing views. Sheep are at every turn. They visit periodically throughout the day. Everything was great including the communication with the host.

Indescribably Magical
Barralach is an incredible retreat. The vistas surrounding the property are magical. The sheep are wonderful. We gathered three generations (with the youngest 5). The cottages are perfect for three families and one of the cottages presented an amazing gathering space. The main cottage has everything you would possibly need to host a feast and has multiple outdoor dining options. We had small compact rental cars and would recommend upgrading to easily handle the switchbacks up to the cottages, but it is not required. Cannot speak more highly of Barralach – we are dreaming of a return trip!
