About this property
Dunkerron is a luxury self catering manor in a scenic woodland surrounding.
Dunkerron is a luxury self catering manor in a scenic woodland surrounding a short distance outside Kemnare town. Nestling quietly on the shores of Kenmare Bay, Dunkerron also features the ruins of an old Irish castle, beautiful mountain views.
Dunkerron is situated on a 55 acre estate which guests are always encouraged to explore. The property also features a private bay about 20 minutes walk along our woodland path from the house. The deck overlooking the bay is an ideal location for relaxing picnics.
The house itself has seven luxurious bedrooms, all upstairs, and each one with an en-suite bathroom. Each bathroom is equipped with a power shower. Downstairs, the house boasts a modern, well equipped kitchen, a playroom (with a table tennis and a pool table), and a beautiful conservatory. The house also has a vestibule, a living room and a dining room with a large table which seats up to 16, each of which can be heated by our log fires.
While the house is normally rented on a self catered basis, catering services are available locally.
Please note that we can only accept Friday-Friday bookings in June, July and August due to availability of cleaning staff.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Moya Gubbins
Dunkerron was owned by my Mum who ran it as a guesthouse for many years. It was host to many gueats over the years, all of which went home with great memories. My Mum still gets letters from all over the world from the friends she made when she ran it. After major damage during a storm five years ago we made the decision to renovate the house so that it could once again be enjoyed. As I live in Limerick it was not an option for me to open Dunkerron as a guesthouse again so we made the decision to offer it to families and groups of friends on a self catering basis.
Why they chose this property
There is nowhere like Dunkerron. The house was built overlooking the ruins of Dunkerron castle, which was destroyed by it's occupants (the O'Sullivan Mór clan) in the mid seventeenth century to avoid its capture by Oliver Cromwell and his army. It is a unique property on 60 acres bordering Kenmare Bay. There is a lovely walk through the woodlands to the shore where the brave can swim when the tide is in. If you are lucky you might meet a deer or two on the way down. There is nowhere more peaceful to relax with friends and family than Dunkerron.
What makes this property unique
The house itself is absolutely unique with great character yet includes all modern comforts. Open log fires, a games room and and the conservatory all contribute to the ambiance of this great house and allows everybody their own bit of space.
