Thatched Cottage with Hot Tub walking distance to Hughe's Pub.



Cottage Mary Rose is Celebrating it's 22nd year of hosting guests! Cottage Mary Rose is a beautiful 18th century, white-washed, thatched roof cottage. One of Ireland's few remaining, it is what you dream of when thinking of Ireland. And with 21st Century amenities including increased water pressure, central heating, Jacuzzi tub and even a hot tub on our expansive rear deck overlooking a rushing stream below. Nestled in the pastoral valley of Mount Eagle. Hughes Bar (Pub)is just a 5 minute walk from the cottage. We boast an all natural garden. It is surrounded by its original dry stone walls and fuchsia. County Kerry is considered to be one of the most breathtaking places on this earth! There is so much close by to explore here. If you need a place to escape and get away from it all...…...you have found it. The peaceful country setting with amazing spa features, a rushing stream and a private cottage garden of your own! And it offers complete privacy.

You are welcomed by the bright red double door. As you enter, you get the feeling that you have stepped back in time. With its stone fireplace and high lofted ceilings in the sitting room it is a great room for conversation and games. Antiques fill the cottage with traditional and comfortable furniture as well. It is amazing to think of what this cottage has survived. It has truly come a long way from traditional Irish life to having the luxuries we dream of. There is a Jacuzzi tub and dishwasher as well as a bright red Aga stove so you can actually enjoy cooking. Truly an ideal place to call home while exploring the many treasures of CountyKerry. We do have WiFi and cable TV with many channels.
We welcome our guests with Irish treats.
The church and Kearney's small grocer are both next to Hughe's. Cottage Mary Rose is located in north Kerry. This makes Tralee and Killarney reachable in about 25 minutes. Also, County Cork is close to reaching the famed Blarney Castle is about an hour's drive.
We all need to escape and refresh our minds and souls. Being in nature and treating ourselves is the best medicine there is. Come, relax and enjoy the spa features and enjoy the beauty of the country, waiting to embrace you. We look forward to having you as our guest's. We are a proud member of Failte Ireland.

The cottage is lovely and everything we hoped for when booking a thatched roof cottage. We enjoyed listening to the stream that runs through the backyard and how cozy and homey the cottage felt. The only negative about our stay was that it was too short.

Beautifully Restored Cottage

This cottage has been restored to bring a vintage Irish home alive, and updated with modern day conveniences. It is beautifully decorated, and supplied with everything a weary traveler could need. We found it neat and tidy, and very well maintained. It is located far enough away from the noise and traffic of the city, yet an easy drive to get you there.

Cute little cottage

I did leave a few comments on a letter in the cottage. There was landscaping done the morning after our first nights stay. Unfortunately I was sick in bed that day so the noise was a bit distracting. We were unable to get water in the guest bathroom shower so we all took a shower in the master bathroom. The water pressure was amazing in the master shower. There were a lot of gnats flying around, smell of propane/gas, musty - but otherwise a very unique home. The management was very quick to respond when we were not able to find the place.

The loveliest character cottage

Cannot say enough good things about this little cottage. It’s excellently located to all the best attractions in Kerry, and it’s perfectly situated in the country but close enough to Castleisland to make getting groceries and going to the local pub easy. The caretaker, Timmy, built a fire for us twice and a local man gave my Dad an autographed book of his own poetry. Absolutely perfect accommodation for a family trip.

Excellent stay

This cottage was the perfect introduction to Ireland and such a unique stay. There aren’t many thatch roof cottages anymore and especially rare to be along side a river with a hot tub and beautiful garden. It was a dream to stay at and the contacts were really easy to work with given our flight changes. Would absolutely recommend.

Great stay in an adorable cottage!

Our stay here was wonderful. This cottage has been around for a long time and we appreciated staying in a little piece of history. The cottage felt like our home away from home. We loved the huge deck in the back as well as the hot tub! Great communication with property managers & hosts.

Castleisland stay

We enjoyed our stay and how original this home was. The hot tub and creek out back was so relaxing after a day of traveling. We didn’t cook while there so I can’t remark on cooking supplies and etc. I think some shelving in the large wardrobes in bedrooms would help a lot. We used the extra small table in the utility area to lay out our clothes so we didn’t have to get into luggage everyday. They had plenty of extra covers/pillows in 2nd bedroom. They also had toilet paper and paper towel for arrival which was nice. The parking issue mentioned in another review is no problem at all it’s literally 10 feet from the gate of the house. We would definitely stay again! It’s a beautiful area and the owner at Hughes bar told us to go to Brownes bar for live music on a Friday night and it was the highlight of our trip. Beautiful place with the friendliest people.

Cutest little Irish Cottage WITH HOT TUB

This was exactly what we were looking for and more! The cutest little cottage, which was actually very spacious and comfortable, had so much character, but also had modern amenities including the most delightful hot tub. Great shower also. Loved our stay. Would add that the wifi only reached to the kitchen, so wouldn't be ideal for someone who needed to really work, but for holiday it was great!

The most wonderful vacation experience ever!

We spent our entire 2 week vacation at Cottage Mary Rose as our home base from which to explore the southwest part of Ireland. It was perfect! Genuine Ireland at its best. The cottage itself is beautiful, cozy, a sanctuary to retreat to after a full day of touring. The manager and caretaker are amazing and so welcoming. The gardens surrounding the cottage and the creek beside it add even more beauty and serenity to this very special haven. We’ve left a part of our hearts here in this lovely place and hope to return soon!
