Discover Elegant Country Living less than 5 Minutes from Killarney Town

Come and stay at Knockcarrig House and you will find your ideal balance between town and country. Our newly built property is situated on the edge of our private 20 acre farm, yet is less than a 5 minute drive to Killarney.

Located just off the N22 in the residential area of Lissivigeen, Knockcarrig House offers you the perfect base for touring the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Beara. Green fields surround the house and in the Summer you will find our cattle enjoying all that lovely grass that nature has to offer :)

Elegant country living awaits you at Knockcarrig House. Parts of the interior are drawn from the natural landscape-from the golden hue of hay in the Summer to the proud pink foxgloves found in the mossy stone ditches. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with two possessing both a separate bath and shower.

Enjoy fabulous feasts at our custom designed 10 seater oak table found in our panoramic dining room which boasts mountain and meadow views. Relax in the evening with a good book in front of a roaring fire or challenge someone to a game of chess- the winner doesn't have to do the dishes!

Whether you wish to explore Killarney's lakes, climb its mountains, cycle its hills and valleys or stay put and enjoy the good life , the choice is yours........................

Very Nice

Host communicated very well. We had a wonderful time. The house is clean and conveniently located. Easy to call a taxi to town to avoid fighting for parking and also having the freedom to enjoy some drinks and not worry about driving. I highly recommend this house if you are planning to stay near Killarney.

The Best

This was the second time we stayed at this property. Th owner is super friendly and welcoming. We all absolutely love everything about the house. The house size, the coziness, the cleanliness we all perfect. If we get back to Ireland we would stay for a third time. The best place for a family.

Perfect location for our Killarney holiday

We had a lovely stay at Knockcarrig House. Noelle was a great host and very helpful. The location was perfect to easily pop into Killarney Centre or take in the various highlights of the southwest of Ireland. We were a group of 8 and this provided plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable for the week. Very highly recommended.

A true gem!

My family and I had an amazing stay at Noelle's place! The house is beautiful, clean, and so charming. We had everything we needed and we loved seeing the cows in the yard each day (my daughter named them Milky and Mooey ). The location was also perfect as it was just a short drive into Killarney town center, the national park, and other site-seeing locations. Noelle was a wonderful host, very responsive and caring about our stay, showed me everything in the house upon check in, and even left us a very thoughtful gift basket of food that we enjoyed. I would absolutely stay here again if I find myself lucky enough to go back to Killarney!

A wonderful, clean, beautiful home and property

We had 6 adults stay in Noelle's home for 3 nights. Noelle met us when we arrived and showed us around the home, which is spacious, clean, modern, and charming. The home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and even some perks we did not expect. The home is conveniently located to Killarney's sights and we had no problem driving out for local day trips. It's in a quiet, relaxing, serene location. I'm happy to recommend this property to anyone - adults, families with kids, etc. We all would gladly come back again.

Delightful stay

The 7 of us enjoyed our stay with Noelle and her home exceeded our every expectation! It was homey yet incredibly spacious, lots of room to gather together or to find a quiet spot. I’ve never stayed in a VRBO that was so well stocked! Your every need was anticipated! We enjoyed cooking meals together. The chest full of unopened pantry staples left for us was immediately appreciated! Everything from fine Butlers Chocolates to Irish butter to milk and eggs and Irish Brown bread to coffee and tea! Wow! My favorite STR by far and the hospitality was genuine! Thank you, thank you! We are truly grateful! The Whalen Family
