About this property

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........................

A wonderful, clean, beautiful home and property

We had 6 adults stay in Noelle's home for 3 nights. Noelle met us when we arrived and showed us around the home, which is spacious, clean, modern, and charming. The home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and even some perks we did not expect. The home is conveniently located to Killarney's sights and we had no problem driving out for local day trips. It's in a quiet, relaxing, serene location. I'm happy to recommend this property to anyone - adults, families with kids, etc. We all would gladly come back again.

Phenomenal Experience

Our stay here was beyond what we expected. The home is perfect for a more intimate family experience. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise on the patio in the mornings, dining together and game nights. Noelle went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend.

Perfect location for our Killarney holiday

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.

The Best

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.

Amazing Farmhouse Style Property

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.

Large well appointed home in excellent location

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.

A perfect stay!

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

Unbelievable Wedding Experience

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 :)

Fabulous stay

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!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Knockcarrig House, Killarney, Ireland!

Here we offer a little bit of Irish country living in Killarney to holidaymakers. We built Knockcarrig on the edge of our private 20 acre cattle farm which is less than a 10 minute drive to the town centre of Killarney.
'Knockcarrig' comes from the Irish language which means hill of the stones. As farmers who feel an incredible link to the land, it was only fitting to call our house after the farm land on which it is found.

If you were to literally start digging in the fields, you would find plenty of stones in the earth! Traditionally these stones were then used to build walls to divide the fields of the farm. And as for the hill part- well if you were to walk from one end of the farm to the other, you would find yourself climbing a little hill which gives you a panoramic view of the magnificent McGillicuddy Reek mountains!
