Outstanding Lakeside Victorian Manor House In Walled Estate
This historic, spacious home is one of the jewels in the crown of Killarney accommodation. Its location alone is unrivalled, sitting on a slight rise overlooking the lakes and mountains, in a peaceful countryside setting but still within walking distance to Killarney town and across the street from the entrance to the national park. The house itself, like the setting, is unique, it has kept its old world charm but with modern conveniences discreetly included. This period house has an exciting history mirroring the history of Ireland from the landlord era to present day.
The rooms are all large with the drawing room and dining room featuring some beautiful antique furniture and large bay windows with lake views. The bedrooms have their private bathroom. The kitchen is contemporary with the addition of an AGA stove which will be the one piece of equipment you will long to take home with you. The kitchen larder which s an old confession box adds to the charm.
The grounds are extensive with vast lawns and mature gardens with some attractive features, like a pond and it's natural water fountain. The entrance to the National Park is just across the street, which allows your party to pursue different interests. Maybe it's a jog or a romantic lakeside stroll or visiting an old abbey; it's all there on your doorstep.
We also have two self-catering courtyard cottages available on the property, that are rented separately.

"Very well taken care of" House was very clean and in good condition. Beds are very comfortable. Very close to Killarney town. Lots of space and had a nice view. Right next to the national park. Big garden in front of both houses, so lots of space to play football etc.

Miss it already We shared this beautiful manor house with three other families while in Killarney for All Ireland’s. It was clean, picturesque, charming and spacious. Hosts were very welcoming. My family of four had plenty of room for stepping away from the group, but mostly enjoying gathering in the kitchen or the front sitting room with its wonderful fireplace. Dining room also had a fireplace and a gorgeous view of Killarney National Park. We hiked into the park multiple times, walked to Muckross Abbey, and still were perfectly situated for quick trips into town. Lovely home!

Fantastic Irish Farm house This was a golf trip to the south of Ireland with 7 close friends. Carriglea House was a great base from which we ventured out daily to the different golf courses we played. It is a few kilometers from Killarney and a 5 minute cab ride into town. The house has that quaint Victorian feel on a large expanse of land. All the rooms are comfortable , clean and spacious. The wifi works well and John and Eileen are great hosts ( they live just behind the house). We also had an Irish breakfast each morning before our departure, which they prepared. Eileen would also leave cupcakes or some sort of dessert in the kitchen for us to snack on. The refrigerator was always full of ice and all the amenities worked well and were at our disposal.
A great retreat I would recommend

Our Family of 12, aged 8-71, spent a week in July at Carrigela House. The home and experience John and Eileen offered delighted us in every category. The location is right on the edge of the Killarney Park, and well setback from the road with a long driveway. The lawns were perfect for the younger children to safely play and explore. The donkey and horses were very friendly - a wonderful surprise for the kids. The house was spacious and well laid out. It is fully equipped with a well-stocked kitchen and laundry supplies. The kitchen is huge with every appliance we might need of commercial quality. The bedrooms are spacious and immaculate. Thoughtful items, like conversion adapters for electrical outlets, were there . John and Eileen took the time to explain where everything was and how everything worked on our arrival. They were always available to us. They are great hosts!
