Loved staying here.

Beautiful site! Our hostess was very helpful in recommending places to visit, dine, and provided maps. Accommodation was exactly what we hoped for, clean, comfortable, with expected amenities provided. This is a central location to Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Kerry, Toric Falls, etc.

Delightful cottage

My family of five loved our stay at the coach house. Bernadette and Tim were accessible, helpful, and a wealth of knowledge about the area. We were able to explore Killarney park, walk to town, and it was a perfect base for day trips to other locations. Highly recommend! The cottage was clean, well-stocked and spacious. Thank you!

Perfect Getaway

We stayed at the Priory for four nights for a work trip. We were working in the forest all week and it was great to come back to a warm wood stove and excellent jacuzzi / shower. We also made use of the washer and dryer provided.

The Priory Coach House

Stayed here with my family and had a great time. Owners are onsite and very helpful and accommodating. They even provided tips and recommendations on day trips. Lovely house and property. The house had everything we needed and more. Walking distance or short taxi ride to the Killarney town center. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely coach house in a sea of flowers

The coach house is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay in a historic building. The whole Priory is very quiet and perfect for relaxing or hiking the Killarney National Park. The next grocery is just 10 minutes walking distance. Bernadette - the host - was very helpful with recommendations and helped arranging trips.

All the comforts of home while in Kilarney

The stay had all the comforts of being in a home while traveling. We cooked a few meals, washed clothes, watched Tv after spending days exploring. Everything was convenient including getting groceries. We did not have a car because we booked tours but that was not a problem at this location. The courtyard and cherry trees were lovely. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect stay in Killarney

There is so much to love about the Priory Coach House! The quiet, bucolic location is ideal; we walked into town as well as to events at the racetrack and INEC. The house itself has all the modern conveniences, yet is full of traditional Irish charm. Killarney is a very fun town; we loved the pubs and easy access to the National Park and Ring Road. Our hosts were super helpful and we loved the sweet, friendly pups. We adore the Kingdom of Kerry and can't wait to go back. Thanks for a delightful and memorable stay!

Fabulous stay in Killarney VRBO

The most gorgeous house we have ever stayed in! Check in was seamless thanks to Bernadette's prompt communication. The house was perfect and had everything we needed, including extra linens and laundry. Plus, we got a surprise visit from the host's dogs in the morning - absolute loves. In sum, I could not recommend the Coach House more highly - it was perfect for our stay in Killarney. Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts.

Family Milestones

This was a trip of a lifetime—25th Wedding Anniversary, milestone birthdays for my wife and kids—incredible. The Coach House at The Priory was absolutely perfect and we loved our stay. Bernadette and Tim were outstanding hosts—friendly, quick to respond to questions, and always available for local advice. The property itself is beautiful and is in a great location—accessible to everything Killarney has to offer, but also tucked away from the bustle enough to be quiet and peaceful. Our highest recommendation possible—thank you, Bernadette and Tim!
