Built in 1780, The Priory is a truly unique piece of property built by the local Lord Kenmare for a French aristocrat fleeing the French Revolution. Inundated with old world character, this property of the O'Donoghue Family is a place of welcome, comfort and intense charm.

Set on the door step of Killarney National Park we have 4 Courtyard Stone Cottages all of various design and layout. The cottages are tucked into a very beautiful and quite walled courtyard setting.

The Loft and Coach House cottages were meticulously restored between 2004 and 2006 and will offer you a retreat in style and comfort. There is also, Teach Mor Cottage and An Tigin Cottage all located in the Courtyard.

So if you are interested in hiking, biking, golfing, shopping or want to take a cooking class all this can be arranged. Killarney town centre is 1 km or a 10 minute stroll, in the opposite direction over the river you are immediately upon a pedestrian way snaking its way 2km into Killarney's 11,000 acre National Park, Muckross House & Gardens. A 5 minute walk to the Gleneagle Arena (INEC). Ask about mid-season specials.

    The Loft was a fabulous place to stay! The location is beautiful and very cozy. It gave us plenty of room to spread out, make Irish Breakfast, and relax at the end of a day of adventures. Thank you for the place to rest!

    Loved the layout of the Loft, plus it had character. The kitchen was fully equipped and we had most of our meals directly from the kicthen. Beds were comfortable and clean as was the rest of the house. The location is within walking distance to town, and 10 minutes drive to most of the landmarks within the area. We had apples and pears just outside the door and Bernadette graciously let us pick them - and they were delicious!

    Property was very traditional Irish building which was clean. Pictures in listing match the actual unit perfectly. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was south of Killarney city centre and a 30 minute walk into town one-way.

    Bernadette and Tim were amazing hosts! The property was beautiful and really gives you the essence of Ireland. Our family stayed in the Loft area, which was spacious, quiet, clean and comfortable for a group of 5. Conveniently, the hosts live next door, should guests have concerns or wanting recommendations for activities within the area. Although the accommodation is on the outskirts of town, walking to town centre takes roughly 15 minutes. I would highly recommend The Priory, and would stay again upon my return to Killarney.

    This property was perfect for us as a group of 7 adults. We were able to walk downtown or into the park from the loft. We loved the property and the ease of staying there. The description was very accurate.

    If you want to feel like you are really part of the Irish community, then these cottages are just what you are looking for. The grounds, the house and the courtyard cottages are all gorgeous and well kept. Close enough to downtown to enjoy walking to pubs and restaurants, but far enough that you forget you are in the city. The cottage was well kept and well equipped. We would have loved to stay longer. Our hosts Tim and Bernadette were lovely hosts! If you are smart you will follow the tips they have printed for guests. It took us to some of our most memorable sights!

    The property was perfectly suited for our multigenerational family vacation to Killarney for an Irish Dance Competition. The location was perfect! We could walk to INEC as well as Killarney Brewery Company and the best pizza place, Tango. It was very easy to find and was easy to get to the center as well as exploring other parts of the Wild Atlantic Way. Tim and Bernadette were excellent hosts. The Loft was perfect for our family of 6 - 3 bedrooms and 3 toilets were much appreciated. Something for everyone. Kitchen well stocked. Hosts were very helpful in deciding where we should pick up groceries to cook our own meals. We had a lovely time and we would not hesitate to return to Killarney and stay with Tim.

    Tucked away on a quiet street, yet such a short walk to town for wonderful shopping, restaurants, and pubs. Exactly as advertised. Loved how the bedrooms and bathrooms were spaced out so you have space and privacy if you are traveling with friends, but can still be all together in one accommodation. Kitchen, family room, dining area, and entryway all very large and open. We’ll definitely return the next time we are in Killarney.

    This is the most perfect place to rent in Ireland. It was our favorite stay/location. It seems simplistic to reference it as a cottage or loft as it was absolutely beautiful. We had everything we needed for our stay and everyone was very comfortable for a family of six adults. We stayed for three nights in December and had absolutely no complaints. It was our favorite location of all the places we rented. The owners are incredibly thoughtful and gracious, and responded immediately to any of our questions. I cannot recommend this place enough! It is also the perfect location to explore Killarney and everything was in walking distance. We will return!

    We came to Killarney end of November. Rained most of our time and we had a marvelous time. Biked around National Park. No competition with other visitors. The Lofts at Priory were most comfortable.

    Tim & Bernadette were great hosts. We were there for a month and it was the perfect location to visit the surrounding area. The town of Killarney was walking distance and the entrance to the national park just a mile up the road. The house while built in 1780 has been totally restored with all the modern convivences.

    We had a lovely stay in the Loft. It was very well furnished and equipped. Very spacious and comfortable for the four of us and our dog. Great location for getting into the town or out into the countryside and coast. The surrounding area is stunning! Only suggestion would be to leave some instructions on how to regulate the heating. We were a bit chilly after getting a soaking when out one day and it was difficult to warm up and dry our things. But this was very minor issue and didn’t detract from our stay in any way. Many thanks.

    My family and I had a wonderful stay at Tim & Bernadette’s Loft at the Priory. We just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more, but we had a busy travel schedule. Everything was just as described, and they were very accommodating to our late arrival. We would definitely stay here again!
