About this property

Historic Renovated Cottage: Wild Atlantic Way

  • Step away from the hustle and bustle of life, and book a stay in our beautiful, newly renovated cottage with 46 acres of private land and a stony beach for you to enjoy, offering you complete seclusion, tranquillity and peace. The cottage is over 500 years old (formerly part of Kilelton House) and is steeped in history, just a 5 minute stroll from Carrigafoyle Castle. Located on the Wild Atlantic Way, it is a wonderful base to return to after a day out exploring all that Kerry has to offer.
    The space
    The house itself is unique in that you will find yourself on 46 acres of land, and the surrounding areas are steeped in history and beautiful natural surroundings. Expect to wake up to the birds chirping and a kitchen full of natural light.

    When refurbishing the house, we wanted to keep the original charm while offering all the modern comforts. The property has its original steps leading to the front door and hallway, while to the right of the property you will still find some of the original structure of the manor, steeping the place in history. The kitchen is modern, fully equipped with an electric hob, oven and fridge freezer, with a large island worktop for food preparation and newly installed dishwasher.

    There is a spacious sitting room/dining room with a wood-burning stove (logs available for guests) perfect to relax, read or watch a movie. We also picked out a selection of our favourite board games for guests to enjoy.

    There is high speed broadband available - perfect for those who wish to work from home.

    We pride ourselves in the details and the two bedrooms are always dressed in fresh, ironed linen.

    There is one bathroom with an electric shower.

    The house is ideal for history enthusiasts, those looking for a romantic getaway or simply to enjoy a Guinness in a traditional bar in the village.

    It is also great for those who love swimming and walking. Ideally located to explore Ballybunnion, Listowel, Tralee, Killarney, Dingle or Co. Clare.

    We want you to have the best stay possible, so please message if we can accommodate you in any way! :)
    Guest access
    Car is essential to travel to Lislaughtin Abbey which was built in 1478, but by foot you can explore Carrig Island where there is an Napoleonic Coastal Artillery Battery, Ring Forts, ancient Irish Monastery with Holy well. Also climb up the 104 steps of Carrigafoyle Castle which dates back to 1490 to take in the magnificent view of the Shannon Estuary. Opposite Carrigafoyle Castle is Kilelton Church.
    Other things to note
    High speed broadband available, perfect for those who would like to work from home.

Absolutely lovely spot

We could not have loved this property more! Beautiful setting, lovely home, it had everything we wanted and needed for our stay near Ballylongford. Super convenient location for trips to Ballybunion and the Dingle peninsula as well as Killarney.

A quiet, secluded, peaceful spot conveniently near the ferry. Great walks in the area, the nearby cliffs of Ballybunion are beautiful, and the castle makes a lovely neighbor. The birds really love the remains of the original manor house, and we enjoyed watching their antics. Lovely spot!

We stayed here for a few days on our Ireland vacation and it was wonderful. The house is exactly as described and conveniently located to the ferry. It allowed us to go the Cliffs of Mohr, something we didn't think we would have time to do. Great hosts, great place, truly a unique experience.

Very enjoyable stay in a lovely area.

We found great difficulty dealing with Vrbo on a number of aspects and would not recommend them to any other potential user of their services. However, the owner of the property, when we did managed to make contact with her, was a very pleasant and cooperative lady.

Interesting property, attached to an OLD castle, and another in walking distance. We did have a problem with the shower and the host was able to get it. Replaced within 48 hours, but it was incredibly inconvenient and disappointing. Limited our ability to travel for one and a half days. The Internet is slow and intermittent, but we didn’t really need it other than for basic communications. The TV and streaming apps simply paused, didn’t work Consistently throughout our trip. However, the property is beautiful and the home is well-maintained other than what I outlined above
