Green fields surround the house and in the Summer you will find our cattle enjoying all that lovely grass that nature has to offer :)

Elegant country living awaits you at Knockcarrig House. Parts of the interior are drawn from the natural landscape-from the golden hue of hay in the Summer to the proud pink foxgloves found in the mossy stone ditches. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with two possessing both a separate bath and shower.

    Our three night stay, with 8 family members from 17 - 80, couldn’t have been more delightful. Noelle is the consummate host! She greeted us with warmth and a thoughtful welcome basket with the staples (breads, butter, milk, tea, coffee, crisps, chocolates and of course wine!)The home is absolutely immaculate and beautifully appointed. A truly comfortable retreat or base for exploring this gorgeous area of Ireland. We were all sorry we couldn’t stay longer. Far and away the best VRBO experience we’ve had. Than you so much Noelle!

    We absolutely loved our stay at this property! Noelle and her family were amazing hosts! The house had everything you needed and more! So many thoughtful touches..We were welcomed with a beautiful basket filled with local treats, bread, coffee, tea as well as fresh milk and butter. It made our first night so easy as we did not need to run out for essentials. The location was ideal for exploring the town center of Killarney as well as all the beautiful area sights. I would without a doubt stay at Noelle’s property again. Great experience!

    We are a family of 8 with an 5 year old granddaughter. Our stay could not have been better. Our host Noelle was extremely helpful and the house had everything we needed. We mixed dining in and dining out. The kitchen was very well appointed and had everything we needed. Close to town to make hitting the pubs at night and exploring in the day very easy. I hope to be back in Killarney again and when we do we will stay here again. The cows in the backyard were an extra treat for all of us but especially my granddaughter.

    Noelle is a great communicator and was so easy to work with. She is extremely organized and had a sheet for us with all important information. She also left us a thoughtful welcome basket. Do not hesitate booking this house. Everything was wonderful.....including her three cows we got to watch on the yard! So cute!!!

    The pictures do not do this property justice. Lovely setting on the edge of town with the feel of being alone in the country. Noelle was extremely accommodating, and prompt. We arrived quite late in the evening during one of the bank holidays for the locals. Noelle meet us at the home with a lovely welcoming basket of goodies. All the basic essentials were at the home, including detergent and fabric softener. Which made it easy for us arriving late as it meant we did not have to turn back out to grab coffee or creamer. Do know, although you are close to town and a local pub, there are no public footpaths, so you will absolutely need a car to get every where. If you don’t plan on renting one, the taxis are easy, and very much readily available. However, I suggest renting a car as you are very near many attraction and historical sights to visit, for short (or long) day trips. I would defiantly stay at this charming home again. There are five bedrooms with on suites, a washer and dryer, games, puzzles and the most gorgeous sunsets. Don’t forget to grab fresh eggs from the nieghbor a few doors down. We stayed a total of ten days, and were not ready to level when our journey was over.

    The kitchen was amazing and very large - as was the entire house! The rooms were clean and beds very comfortable! Towels were thick and very nice. Noelle was a gracious host and had a welcome basket of food and wine when we arrived. This is one of the best places we have stayed at in all our travels! Beautiful grounds just outside of the city (5 minute drive to town). If you are in Killarney, you have to stay here!

    Noelle's home was absolutely gorgeous--wish we could have stayed longer than 3 nights! From the smooth check-in process to the personal touches (including local food from their farm, among other treats), our stay here felt cozy and luxurious at the same time. It's only about 5 minutes down the road from the busy Killarney center, but you feel totally secluded on the property, and it was the perfect place to rest and recharge after days exploring Killarney National Park, the Ring of Kerry, and so much more. Highly recommend!

    House is a real gem!!!! We had an absolutely fantastic time! The property was spotless, well-equipped, and perfectly situated to Killarney town. Noelle was fantastic, proactive and friendly, making check-in seamless. Plenty of space for everyone to relax, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals together. Another bonus is every room had bathroom with its own toilet and shower. Fantastic when you’re such a big group!! House far exceeded our expectations! We cannot wait to return!

    An incredibly comfortable home that’s outfitted for gourmet meals, lovely conversations, and a relaxing stay less than five minutes from bustling Killarney. Sipping a cup of coffee at the tables in the garden by the hydrangeas with the cows in the nearby field is an amazing way to start the morning. Noelle provides fabulous tips to enjoy the house and the community. Her warm and personal welcome set the tone for our visit in this beautifully maintained home. Spend a week or a month. You’ll feel right at home!

    Knock Carrig house was simply amazing. A large group of us stayed for a week with three children and this house provided ample space for them to run around outside, playing and looking at the cows. Inside we had more than enough rooms for all of us to sleep in and what a treat to have a bathroom in each room!! The children loved the sitting / games / reading room and the adults tended to hang out in the gorgeous kitchen and huge eating room. The host did a really wonderful job of decorating the home, LOVED the local art!!! We got to know a taxi company as we did not have our own vehicle but this was fine (and we knew ahead of time this would be the case). Our host was very very generous and left a beautiful welcome basket which was REALLY appreciated by all of us!! We would very much recommend this location and would stay here again. A true gem!!

    Our family of 6 adults and 3 children was extremely comfortable. There is so much room to roam around this home. This house is a 10 star house, and I would rate this higher if possible. Our grandchildren named the cows Elsie & Gracie who welcomed us every day. Noelle was so nice and available to any of our needs. If you are considering a trip to this area, this should only be the house you consider. Clean, new, perfect location. Excellent host.

    The 7 of us enjoyed our stay with Noelle and her home exceeded our every expectation! It was homey yet incredibly spacious, lots of room to gather together or to find a quiet spot. I’ve never stayed in a VRBO that was so well stocked! Your every need was anticipated! We enjoyed cooking meals together. The chest full of unopened pantry staples left for us was immediately appreciated! Everything from fine Butlers Chocolates to Irish butter to milk and eggs and Irish Brown bread to coffee and tea! Wow! My favorite STR by far and the hospitality was genuine! Thank you, thank you! We are truly grateful! The Whalen Family

    My family and I had an amazing stay at Noelle's place! The house is beautiful, clean, and so charming. We had everything we needed and we loved seeing the cows in the yard each day (my daughter named them Milky and Mooey ). The location was also perfect as it was just a short drive into Killarney town center, the national park, and other site-seeing locations. Noelle was a wonderful host, very responsive and caring about our stay, showed me everything in the house upon check in, and even left us a very thoughtful gift basket of food that we enjoyed. I would absolutely stay here again if I find myself lucky enough to go back to Killarney!

    We had 6 adults stay in Noelle's home for 3 nights. Noelle met us when we arrived and showed us around the home, which is spacious, clean, modern, and charming. The home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and even some perks we did not expect. The home is conveniently located to Killarney's sights and we had no problem driving out for local day trips. It's in a quiet, relaxing, serene location. I'm happy to recommend this property to anyone - adults, families with kids, etc. We all would gladly come back again.

The location was perfect to easily pop into Killarney Centre or take in the various highlights of the southwest of Ireland.

    This is a 5 star booking all around. If this home hits on size, price point and location lock your stay in while you can. Beds are beyond comfortable. All closets have luxurious robes and slippers. Bathroom towels are hotel quality. All showers come with non-slip mats. Kitchen has all the extras with loads of plates, serving dishes, top end pots and pans and plenty of cutlery. Appreciate the sizable laundry area and that the home was stocked with all the basics we needed. Noel is accommodating and gracious. This stay was just like coming home.

    We could not have enjoyed our stay at Noelle's property more! She was quick with responses and met us at check-in to show us where everything is and how to use appliances. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and entertaining our party of 7 (which got up to 11 at times for dining). The welcome basket was a wonderful surprise and thoughtful touch with the essentials, as well as wine and chocolate and a hand written note. The way the house is set up, our kids had their own wing with some distance from the adult's rooms. There were toiletries, laundry detergent, hair dryers, games, books and best of all - cows in the yard. The property was conveniently located for the several day trips we took to Dingle, Kenmare and of course, downtown Killarney. When we come back to the area, we will definitely be requesting Noelle and Paudie's lovely home.
