Former railway cottage, lovingly restored with contemporary furnishings.

This “zeit-guised” former railway-gatekeeper cottage was built in 1890 and went through numerous transformations throughout the decades. Last modernized in 2015, detailed attention was paid to preserve traditional doors, the original steep staircase and stone walls. The original flooring on the first floor tells the 130-year-old history of Railway Cottage. In Railway Cottage, Modernism lives up to whatthe good old days promised: all rooms were equipped with a contemporary sense of antiques, international art and design.

Please note that due to the antique, steep staircase, the cottage is not suitable for children under 12 years old or guests with disabilities.

Glenbeigh Railway Cottage nestles idyllically in a small forest at the foot of Curra Mountain and offers stunning views of Coolroe Mountain and the Behy River Valley.

The rural-style kitchen offers all modern amenities, such as an AGA gas-electric oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, microwave, electric kettle, toaster and coffee maker.
The cozy living room is equipped with a 4K smart TV, an X-Box OneS, a Bluetooth Hi-Fi-device and a selection of CDs, Movies and games. A small studio on the first floor offers a computer-friendly desk with direct views of the Behy valley and the Ring of Kerry.
High-Speed-Fiber Internet (up to 0.5 GBit/s) is available throughout the cottage and most of the garden.

The luxurious marble-tiled bathroom on the first floor has an easily accessible, large shower and on the ground floor there is an additional guest toilet with a washing machine and dryer.

All bedrooms are situated on the upper floor.

The entire house has a gas central heating system. Cottage Style wood-burning stoves are located in both, the living room and the kitchen.
A CCTV-Camera is installed for the outdoor area above the main entrance.

Glenbeigh on the Wild Atlantic Way is just a 2-3 minutes' drive away or a 10-15 minutes' stroll.

Within a 50 km radius, there is a wide range of famous sights of the legendary Ring of Kerry. We recommend a ride on the Ring of Skellig, west of Portmagee and a visit to the wonderful Kerry Cliffs overlooking the Skellig Islands. We also recommend a visit to the subtropical gardens of Kells Bay, just 10 minutes away, with their amazing fern trees.
For hiking enthusiasts, the picturesque Kerry Way leads directly past the property. Just a stone's throw away, the Behy River offers ideal conditions for anglers and fly fishers (a selection of rubber boots is available inside the cottage).
Rossbeigh Beach is only a 3-4 minutes’ drive away and offers endless sandy beaches and dunes as well as sports activities such as horseback riding, kayaking, surfing and “stand-up paddling. At the neighbouring Cromane Beach you will find a golf jewel, the Dooks Golf Club, one of Ireland's oldest Links golf courses.

Kerry Airport at Farranfore is a 35-minute drive away. You can reach Killorglin in 12 and Killarney in 25 minutes. The very popular and touristy town of Dingle is 50 minutes away on the opposite peninsula

The towns of Glenbeigh and Killorglin offer a range of quaint and traditional pubs and excellent restaurants. A selection of supermarkets (Centra, Aldi, Spar, SuperValue, etc.) can also be found nearby.

    This is such an adorable stay! We didn't have great weather, otherwise we probably would have spent all our time in the adorable yard, overlooking the fields across the way.

    This property and the surrounding area was stunning. It felt like we were staying in an art gallery with every amenity you could imagine. No detail left unattended to. We loved our stay here and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious place to stay.

    What a kitchen! And the view, just doesn't quit! The property is beyond beautiful, and our stay in Ireland was made all the sweeter by staying at this lovely home!

    This is my second time at the Railway cottage - I’ve been wanting to come back since I was last here and so glad I did. I needed a week of countryside beauty and this place never disappoints. As usual the cottage is impeccably maintained by our hosts Frank and Markus with the help of Gretta who was, as usual, incredibly helpful. If you like to cook you’ll be IPressed with everything available to you while there, all located in the lovely country kitchen with the most amazing views. The beds are comfortable and an evening by the fire after a long day out is perfection The pasture over the lane drops down and is usually filled with sheep to bleat you awake in the morning. Its location in the Wild Atlantic Way makes it a great base for day trips out. I’ll be back again!!

    We loved the character and authenticity of the cottage and the surroundings are breathtaking. We went to Rossbeigh Beach daily for morning walks and occasionally to watch the sunset. My husband swam in the cold water once or twice a day. We were at the cottage for over two weeks and loved every minute of it. Glenbeigh is wonderful and we ate often at a local pub and cooked at the cottage the other nights. We hope to come back some day!

    This was our second time staying at the Railway Cottage. It is, in a word, perfect. Location is great for exploring the area, and the house is nothing short of an experience with the beautiful landscape views, comfy beds, and wonderful kitchen.

    We spent a memorable week in Kerry staying at this beautiful cottage in Glenbeigh. I can't imagine a more perfect location to enjoy the many amazing sights and experiences Kerry has to offer. It really felt like home, or dare I say better as it was very hard to leave. We enjoyed our morning coffee out in the garden in the peace and quiet and the kitchen had every dish and utensil necessary to make any meal. The entire house was beautifully decorated and offered every comfort, the beds were the best we experienced. Our hosts were quick to respond to any question and Gretta was a treasure beyond measure - kind, welcoming, responsive, offered many great suggestions on places to go and even got us a reservation at a restaurant when we couldn't. I would highly recommend this cottage and we hope to return again. Thank you

    Best VRBO property we have ever stayed at! The home is so comfortable and was perfect for us traveling with our young adult son It’s so peaceful to wake up to the sounds of the lambs baaing each morning. Glenbeigh has only a few restaurants and a couple pubs but Killorghin is only a short drive with some very good restaurants. Dooks Golf Links are special and there is excellent hiking in the area. I hope to return and stay longer
