Discover Elegant Country Living less than 5 Minutes from Killarney Town

Come and stay at Knockcarrig House and you will find your ideal balance between town and country. Our newly built property is situated on the edge of our private 20 acre farm, yet is less than a 5 minute drive to Killarney.

Located just off the N22 in the residential area of Lissivigeen, Knockcarrig House offers you the perfect base for touring the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Beara. 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.

Enjoy fabulous feasts at our custom designed 10 seater oak table found in our panoramic dining room which boasts mountain and meadow views. Relax in the evening with a good book in front of a roaring fire or challenge someone to a game of chess- the winner doesn't have to do the dishes!

Whether you wish to explore Killarney's lakes, climb its mountains, cycle its hills and valleys or stay put and enjoy the good life , the choice is yours........................

This was the second time we stayed at this property. Th owner is super friendly and welcoming. We all absolutely love everything about the house. The house size, the coziness, the cleanliness we all perfect. If we get back to Ireland we would stay for a third time. The best place for a family.

Our family of 8 had a very comfortable stay! We really enjoyed the cleanliness, how toddler friendly the house was, and its location. Our host was so friendly and accommodating! We would love to stay here again if we come back to Ireland. Thanks so much!

The house was perfect for our family of five adults. Loved the location (and the cows out in the pasture). Wished we had more time to spend enjoying the house. Noelle was a great host - very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

We rented this amazing spot when my husband and I and our siblings travelled to Ireland. The home was stunning! Spacious, elegant, spotless and beautifully appointed. It was a beautiful peaceful spot and allowed us all to relax, cook together and enjoy a wonderful reunion. Our hostess Noelle was fantastic! Highly recommend this beautiful spot!

We had a fabulous stay at the house! It was a group of 7 of us including 3 kids. Noelle was so welcoming and went over everything with us so we knew where everything was and the house was perfectly stocked. We had so much room and the kids enjoyed looking at the cows and playing in the grass. It was a great location for Killarney activities. 100/10, would recommend over and over again!

Fiona is an amazing and gracious host. Arriving with a guest basket of high quality goodies, fresh baked bread and wine. Wonderful, cozy, bright clean home. So close to the Ring of Kerry gateway, and the fun town of Killarney. A must rent in the south of Ireland!

Great house in a lovely position. Ideal for our family of 10 - three generations. Extremely helpful and pleasant owners. No negatives! Counting the rabbits in the field was a daily enjoyment.

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 (3 families) stayed at this property to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday. It was even better than the pictures and our expectations. The host, Noelle, was generous and accommodating. The property was impeccably clean and very comfortable. Conveniently located near the shops and national park. We hope to visit again!

This house was absolutely amazing. There were 7 of us and there was more than enough room. Every bedroom has a bathroom. The property was stunning. The owner is a sweetheart. We highly recommend this house. If we come back I will definitely book again.

Our bridal suite had some sort of mix up and we didn’t end up having a place for the bridal party to get ready. Thankfully this house had more than enough space for the entire party to get ready including the grooms side! we had a lovely time at this house and would recommend for anyone for any occasion :)

We were 7 adults staying here over New Years and I couldn’t rate this place highly enough. The en suite bathrooms for every room is such a bonus, especially if you have a lots of couples staying. All decent size rooms too. The house was lovely and warm and equipped with everything you need. Showers are powerful with hot water. Noelle was so easy to communicate with and left a fabulous hamper on arrival. We have already recommended this place to friends and would absolutely stay here again. It’s a great find!

An amazing house with a lovely host who provided a delicious welcome package! Thank you Noelle! We were a group of 10 and never felt crowded. From the patio with wine, coffee, and rambunctious teenagers (cows). The kitchen and dining space was very spacious, grand and such a great space for gathering. The ensuite rooms were so perfect for our large group with plenty of hot water and privacy when needed. Hiking in Killarney NP and biking the Dingle coast was a highlight in the area.

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.

Everything about this property, and our stay there, was fantastic. Our group comprised seven family members - all adults - touring Ireland for two weeks. The five bedrooms upstairs - each with its’ own ensuite bathroom - couldn’t have been more perfect for our group, with one bedroom to spare. Everything about the house and property is exactly as it looks in the photos. Exactly. What you can’t see in the photos is the amazing host. Noelle met us on site even though our arrival was delayed, and took her time to show us where everything was located in every single room. And then there was very large starter gift basket on the kitchen counter…..which meant no need for grocery shopping until the next morning. In short, if you need a base for a group to explore Killarney, Ring of Kerry, Dingle, etc….stop looking, and stay here. Kevin Vancouver, Canada

We had a lovely stay at Knockcarrig House. Noelle was a great host and very helpful. The location was perfect to easily pop into Killarney Centre or take in the various highlights of the southwest of Ireland. We were a group of 8 and this provided plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable for the week. Very highly recommended.
