About this property

This lovely, detached cottage offers a characterful feel, positioned on a working farm, in the quiet village of Firies. Positioned for being at one with nature, in an oasis of calm, this thoughtful accommodation offers three bedrooms for a family or group of friends looking to get away-from-it all. Step inside to the hallway, which welcomes you with antique pictures and furnishings, lending a nod to the past. Just to the right is the master suite finished to a lovely standard, with dual-aspect and an adjoining shower room. Next, the family bathroom oozes quality, with a claw-foot bath tub and separate shower cubicle, giving you options each morning and evening. You also have another double bedroom for resting your head, or a twin to choose from. Wrap yourselves around the woodburner in the living room on a cold winter's night and exchange stories of times gone by. Gather in the country-style kitchen at mealtimes for a freshly prepared meal around the dining table over a tasty bottle of red. The bright colour schemes will elevate your mood each morning at breakfast, whilst natural light streams in through the sun room. Take yourself off for a quiet read and enjoy some time to reflect on the day with a refreshing drink in hand. There is also a utility leading off from here, with a handy washing machine and tumble dryer. Firies is a small village yet offers pleasant countryside surroundings and a selection of amenities. Killarney is a short distance away, with many more attractions that beckon. Visit the scenic lakes glistening within the Killarney National Park; discover Muckross House, a 19th-century mansion with a café and shop, and even find St Mary's Cathedral. Dingle offers some lovely beaches and craggy cliffs along its peninsula, as well as the Oceanworld Aquarium and Eask Tower the top of Carhoo Hill. And let's not forget Fungie the wild Bottlenose Dolphin, who has been resident to Dingle waters for over 30 years, attracting all walks of life to meet and greet him. This is a splendid hideaway for seeing some of Ireland's finest attractions in County Kerry.

Firies is a small village just a short drive from the town of Killarney in County Kerry. The area has a very rural feel, dotted with sheep and dairy farms, and is also on the Ring of Kerry route. Many attractions can be found at Killarney and Dingle is also well worth a visit, renowned for its beaches, cliffs and Fungie the dolphin, who has been a major attraction in the area for a number of years!

    Would really recommend it. The only complaint is the height of the bed in the ensuite bedroom. We did not sleep in that room. We used the single beds instead of that room . The gate at the road was a bit of a nuisance, having to open and close it each time but other than that the house was A1.

  • Dany

    It’s limit. And above all, a bedding very uncomfortable in general and especially the bedroom 1 with a soft and noisy metal bed base that has its place in a museum but not in a rental house ; diffilcult to sleep in that bed because in addition you have a non-hidden roof window above it. On short, All the bedding to be replaced and the house will be perfect !

  • Jennifer

    Only things that could be improved are a more prominent sign at the road / gate, and one of the beds (en suite room) is particularly high which was a slight struggle for our elderly parents who needed the en suite facilities. Really enjoyed our stay, thanks to the owners.
