Photos and Description of the Kenmare vacation cottage rental
Modern self catering cottage Kenmare, three bedrooms sleeps six, open fire, WiFi

A beautiful, modern, newly extended self catering rental house only five minutes drive from the bustling market town of Kenmare in the south west of Ireland on the Ring of Kerry. This self catering vacation cottage, which is in its own grounds of over two acres alongside the Cleady River has a (hidden) waterfall giving the relaxing sound of running water, has all the conveniences you would require on a self catering holiday. This self catering cottage has Wi-Fi (new for 2013) satellite TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher and three bedrooms which sleep up to six (two doubles and one twin). Two bedrooms are en suite with a further bathroom for the third room and a separate guest bathroom with wet room is new for 2103. A cot and high chair can be made available on request at no additional cost. For those cooler evenings and nights there is an open fire place for burning logs and turf. Relax in the new sittingroom with feature fireplace and stove whilst listening to your music through the BOSE stereo system. We welcome well behaved house trained pets! Kenmare is a beautiful heritage town located in Kerry, southwest Ireland. It is about a 2 hour drive from Shannon, 90 mins from Cork and 3.5 hours from Dublin

About John Wallace

We fell in love with Kerry and Kenmare in particular in 1990 and spent the following 12 years trying to find the site to build our holiday cottage. It took us longer than expected but we love the house and its location so close to Kenmare! We hope you agree!

John Wallace purchased this cottage in 2003
Why John Wallace chose Kenmare

We love the natural stone finish and warmth that the cottage has. With the new extension of a sitting room and guest bathroom we now have all the space that a family or couple could want for their vacation in Kenmare. An open fireplace and now a stove are just wonderful to light and sit in chatting and talking about the days adventures while sipping a glass of wine!

What makes this cottage unique

This cottage is in a large garden of about two acres, the Cleady River flows to the rear and sounds so relaxing when sitting on the patio at the end of a busy day sightseeing! With wi-fi, you can investigate where to visit on the following day or catch up with emails. The kitchen is equipped to a very high standard with all the equipment needed to prepare your own gastronomic feast - all you need are the ingredients and ability!

Cleady River Cottage-great family location

5 of 5
Submitted: August 16, 2009 Stayed: August 2009
Three generations of my family want to extend our gratitude to you for our wonderful vacation at Cleady River Cottage this August. We truly enjoyed this spacious and comfortable vacation home. The pictures you provided do not do justice to the lovely setting and exceptional accomodations! We used the cottage as our home base as we explored Kenmare, the beautiful Ring of Kerry and the breathtaking West Cork seaside. Each evening we gathered on the deck or by the fireplace to share our day's adventures and then slept to the sound of the river. Our two-year old grandaughter had a wonderful time running in the large and beautifully landscaped yard and playing with the toys that were so graciously provided. The well-appointed kitchen allowed us to enjoy leisurely family breakfasts and having a washer and dryer on the premises just added to our comfort. The owner and the caretaker were exceptionally responsive to all of our needs and inquiries; they simplified the process for both renting and accessing the cottage and they continue to respond to our correspondences now that we have returned home. This was our first Irish vacation but we look forward to returning to Ireland and to Cleady cottage again. Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!

Owner's Response: As always we are delighted to hear that another family has enjoyed a wonderful holiday in our cottage! I'll have to perfect my photography skills and put some better pictures up as Maureen informs me that they don't do the cottage justice! At least our people skills don't need updating yet and we're very pleased that the Maureen, Ed and their family found our cottage as delightful as we do.

Great place for families

5 of 5
Submitted: May 7, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Cleady River cottage. We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful new family room with the cozy fireplace and huge windows. (It wasn't in the photos when I booked it) There was plenty of room for all of us to cook, eat and play together but enough room where we could have some quiet time apart. We loved the rural setting with the rushing river in the back and the surrounding farms. A great place for after dinner walks! My granddaughter particularly liked "talking" to the sheep and roasting marshmallows in the backyard fireplace. The location was very convenient to Kenmare, where we could pick up scones for breakfast, go shopping, golfing, or listen to traditional Irish music in the pubs.

I would highly recommend this property to friends and family and would love to return.
Owner's Response: I'm so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay at Cleady River Cottage and our new 'family room' too! By the sound of it you made the most of your visit to Kenmare and even met some of the neighbours (sheep!)! Thanks again for choosing our 'home from home' for your vacation!

Perfect stone cottage home in Kenmare

5 of 5
Submitted: April 2, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
This is a wonderful new cottage home with everything you need. It has an especially nice kitchen (fully stocked) and dining area, and a warm living room. The bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs are comfortable. We made Kenmare our home base, with day trips to the Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park, Gap of Dunloe and more. The home is exactly as pictured in the photos, but maybe even nicer. It is quiet and peaceful, and one of the few in this area that is completely stone outside. The town of Kenmare is less than a five minute drive, but one can walk or run to town using the back roads. Be sure to check out the Kenmare market with the most lovely fresh food, and the Kenmare golf course down the road. Wonderful food is to be had in Kenmare's restaurants, which are way above pub food fare. The fish and chips place in town was the best breaded cod I've had (fresh from the Atlantic). We truly enjoyed our stay and thank the owners for sharing it with us.
Owner's Response: It's always wonderful when guests stay at Cleady River Cottage and enjoy themselves as much as this lovely family from the USA! I'll have to perfect my photography skills to bring the visuals up to standard but in the meantime if you're looking for a relaxing, quiet and peaceful place to stay when visiting Kerry you've probably found THE best one here!

Seals and boat trip!

Submitted: June 30, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
We enjoyed Kenmare and especially your cottage very much. We loved sitting at the table, playing cards and looking out into the garden. In the evening it was very romantic to sit in the sofa with all the candles. And the kitchen was so well equipped. My son loved the book “Chicken licken”, which we found in the bedroom. We also enjoyed the cds.

The landscape was great, we took a lot of photos. The highlight for the children was watching the seals when we did a boat-trip.

Listening to the falls at night

Submitted: June 30, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed your cottage during our stay in Kenmare. Everything worked well and it was a lovely location. We loved listening to the falls at night.

We were so impressed with the energy saving features in the house. Emabarrassing to be an American when we constantly gobble up energy. My favorite part of travel is seeing the differences in our every day lives.

We look forward to returning to Ireland. Gorgeous country!
