  • "Kissane’s Cottage is a wonderful, family friendly house with a breathtaking view of the Irish country side!"

    The house and property are absolutely beautiful and every inch is shiny and clean. The house is spacious, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are spotless and it has a large dining area and a well-equipped kitchen. Also, Mr. John Kissane was a great host. He had the house warm and cozy the evening we arrived and the next day he stopped by to help us light and operate the hot tub. Which by the way, my family really enjoyed! So, if you’re visiting the Killarney area, I highly recommend staying at Kissane’s Cottage!

  • "Wonderful house with plenty of room for all our family to relax."

    The views are spectacular and watching the cows and sheep across the way was what you want your vacation in Ireland to be all about. The host John was always available but not looking over our shoulders was pleasant and reassuring. The hot tub was enjoyed by all and the outdoor seating was wonderful in the evenings. All and all, I can't say enough about this property. We'll be back next year.

  • "This cottage is a beautiful base to explore the Ring of Kerry."

    It’s just minutes away from the stunning Gap of Dunloe so views of the mountains and the surrounding countryside from the house are incredible. The house is very spacious, clean and equipped with everything you need and John is also very communicative and helpful. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

  • "This was an excellent stay."

    We were attending a wedding at Dunloe Hotel only a short drive away. Beautiful scenery and the house was fantastic. John is a fantastic host, very helpful and he also surprised us with his fantastic wood burning jacuzzi which he had lit and pre-heated for our arrival. This was definitely the highlight of the stay, an excellent addition for the weekend. Thanks again John!

    Ideally located with a homely feel, this is the ideal base for exploring beautiful Kerry. John is warm and welcoming and makes the check in and out process super easy. The house has everything you and your family could possibly need to enjoy a relaxing break in this stunning part of the world. Wholeheartedly recommend!

  • "What an absolute gem."

    We have been renting vacation properties for over fifteen years in Ireland. Kissane's Cottage is by far the best yet! After getting a bit lost coming in the dark, a quick call to John and he told us to sit tight and he would come collect us. Even after I woke him up, John could not have been any nicer. The house sits on a huge lot off a quiet road. The house itself is fantastic! Spotlessly clean with everything you would ever need. The six of us were very comfortable with the enormous space. We could be together OR have private time. Plenty of space. Everyone kept commenting on the beautiful home. The little town of Beaufort has Galvin's bar where the barkeep was very friendly. Loved the charm. Killarney is a short drive. We were able to see: Killarney, Dingle, Ring of Kerry, Moll's Gap (just around the corner) Beara Peninsula and much more. Perfect spot to stay. We would definitely stay here again and again! Thanks John~Kelly

  • "Everything here is perfect."

    From the location to the size of the house. The heating and showers work perfectly. The dining room with kitchen is a dream. So why only 4 stars? The slats of one bed are breaking out of their mountings. Some mattresses are sagging. The owner would be informed, so something will most likely change there. The wifi is extremely slow <1Mbit/s. We then used a D1 contract with an LTE router, so we could at least reach about 10Mbit/s. The owner is very friendly and helps with all requests. You can also meet him in a small shop within walking distance.

  • "The only fault we found were the beds as the mattresses were very uncomfortable and should probably be replaced."

    Also the bed linen and bedroom rugs were a bit tired looking and could do with replacing. Everything else was very good and comfortable.
