Charming 1 Bedroom Cottage at The Priory Killarney

Cozy place tucked away from crowds with only a 15 minute walk to town.

Great cottage close to everything in Killarney. Perfect for our visit to the national park and easy walking distance to the town center.

This was our first time staying in Killarney. We had driven through the town before, but never spent any time there. On this trip to Ireland we decided to make it our first stop. When we came across the listing for The Priory, it just sounded like the right fit. And was it ever! Tim & Bernadette couldn’t have been more gracious hosts. Friendly, helpful, providing plenty of suggestions and tips on the town, restaurants, activities and entertainment. The property is an absolute charm. Tucked away in its own little world of greenery, peace and quiet and yet you’re literally just a few minutes stroll from the heart and vibe of the Old Town. Did I mention that The Priory sits on the doorstep of one the country’s greatest public landmarks; Killarney National Park. Miles and miles of incredibly groomed walking trails, Jaunty Cart rides and biking. White Tail and Irish Red Deer cross your path as you stroll, making for majestic photo ops. Simply incredible. But it all starts with location and The Priory has that in spades! Suffice to say, when we go back to Killarney, we’ll return to The Priory. It’s a 10 out of 10!

Fantastic property and location. Very charming and quintessential Ireland. The shower is hot and powerful! The ONLY negative thing that I could say is that it’s time to replace that mattress! It was lumpy and poked me throughout the night. The kitchen facilities were great and it has everything you need. One of my favorite things about the property was access to filling up with fresh filtered water. The owners are fantastic and there for whatever you need. With a new mattress, this is a 5 star!!

Tim and Bernadette were great hosts and very responsive and helpful.

Wonderful property with very helpful host! He gave us great information on places to visit. This is a central location to many attractions. Kitchen and bathroom were excellent! And the florals in the courtyard were gorgeous!

This is a beautiful one bedroom cottage which was exactly as described. It was clean and spacious. We stayed for 4 nights and had all that we needed. We used the kitchen for breakfasts, but ate lunch and dinner out each day. This wasn't due to a limitation of the kitchen or set-up, it was based on our itinerary and that we wanted to try local pubs and restaurants. Laundry worked well. Plenty of closet space to unpack if wanted. The location was perfect for us. Easy walk to town and to the national park for hiking. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Priory. Bernadette was very helpful in navigating in, letting us know about events going on in town and was kind enough to invite us to check in early to avoid the event traffic. We had everything we needed to cook meals which allowed us to venture off each day after a big breakfast and explore the area. Tim has great tips for where to stop for unique experiences along the ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula (don’t miss Petite Delice in Cahersiveen- nice pastries and great coffee). The Priory is secluded yet there are a few cottages surrounding a beautiful, serene courtyard which allow for meeting new friends if you like a little socializing. We were surprised at how easy the walk to Ross Castle was. Also, the race/golf course is mere steps away and a delightful place to visit even just for a drink on the patio. Would definitely recommend anyone stay with Tim and Bernadette at the Priory. We will certainly be back!

Lovely cottage, conveniently located to town and surrounding areas. Perfect for day trips.

The hosts were very good. Very nice place. Would go back if I every come back to Ireland

Enjoyed the cozy cottage at the back of the historic Priory. It was just off a beautiful courtyard with direct access to the garden. Perfect for our Bernese Mountain Dog. Loved the smell each evening of peat burning in the stove. Great access to Killarney’s top destinations. Our hosts were great.

We absolved our stay here. The place is much bigger than I expected from pictures. The gardens/apple tree/flowers/ivy are gorgeous!! We loved the dogs&cat! Incredibly well behaved. The owners were on property in a different unit, welcoming, always ready with advise and great ! Overall this is secluded & peaceful, yet an easy 20 min walk to everything!!! Will come back here if we come back to Ireland!

Great location, very clean and properly managers very nice!

A nice old house and spacious enough for the two of us. In its own grounds so amazingly quiet considering so close to a main road. The property was somewhat let down by a lack of some basic things (eg there were only 3 non-matching mugs - it would be easy enough to have twice that many), on top of which only half the gas rings worked properly. The biggest lack was the absence of any heating apart from the peat stove - and temperatures were cold for July, so the place felt quite damp till the stove was on. It would have been so easy to have a small electric heater somewhere to get some instant warmth when we came back from walking each day.

Our cottage had everything we needed--a real home--in a garden-like setting and with a host who was more than generous with her advice and assistance. It was the perfect base for our explorations of Killarney and Killarney Naitonal Park.

Everything about this property was perfect, from its charm and comfort to the indoor and outdoor living spaces, including the courtyards. The location was fabulous…close to downtown Killarney yet tucked away down its own quiet lane. Bernadette was super friendly and helpful, and her dog Teddy was his own welcoming committee. I highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at this unusual apartment in an old priory. It was clean and well equipped for our stay. It was close to the national park and the ring of kerry and other sights.
