Charming cottage with a hot tub and deck overlooking a stream. Amazing kitchen!



Cottage Mary Rose is Celebrating it's 22nd year of hosting guests! Cottage Mary Rose is a beautiful 18th century, white-washed, thatched roof cottage. One of Ireland's few remaining, it is what you dream of when thinking of Ireland. And with 21st Century amenities including increased water pressure, central heating, Jacuzzi tub and even a hot tub on our expansive rear deck overlooking a rushing stream below. Nestled in the pastoral valley of Mount Eagle. Hughes Bar (Pub)is just a 5 minute walk from the cottage. We boast an all natural garden. It is surrounded by its original dry stone walls and fuchsia. County Kerry is considered to be one of the most breathtaking places on this earth! There is so much close by to explore here. If you need a place to escape and get away from it all...…...you have found it. The peaceful country setting with amazing spa features, a rushing stream and a private cottage garden of your own! And it offers complete privacy.

You are welcomed by the bright red double door. As you enter, you get the feeling that you have stepped back in time. With its stone fireplace and high lofted ceilings in the sitting room it is a great room for conversation and games. Antiques fill the cottage with traditional and comfortable furniture as well. It is amazing to think of what this cottage has survived. It has truly come a long way from traditional Irish life to having the luxuries we dream of. There is a Jacuzzi tub and dishwasher as well as a bright red Aga stove so you can actually enjoy cooking. Truly an ideal place to call home while exploring the many treasures of CountyKerry. We do have WiFi and cable TV with many channels.
We welcome our guests with Irish treats.
The church and Kearney's small grocer are both next to Hughe's. Cottage Mary Rose is located in north Kerry. This makes Tralee and Killarney reachable in about 25 minutes. Also, County Cork is close to reaching the famed Blarney Castle is about an hour's drive.
We all need to escape and refresh our minds and souls. Being in nature and treating ourselves is the best medicine there is. Come, relax and enjoy the spa features and enjoy the beauty of the country, waiting to embrace you. We look forward to having you as our guest's. We are a proud member of Failte Ireland.

A beautifully snug little cottage in Castleisland Had everything we needed and didnt want for anything. Quite literally down the road from Hughes Bar for a pint by the fire. It was a good location for day tripping to Dingle and Killarney with a host of other villages to visit like NewCastle West and Adare.

Difficult to find, don’t trust the GPS, go to Hughes Bar, it’s just a bit down the road from there. Once there it is the most beautiful, magical place I have ever been. The grounds are wonderful, with a babbling brook in the back, behind the deck. Caroline and Timmy were most helpful getting us to the cottage and settled in. I can’t say enough good things, it is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

The cottage is lovely and everything we hoped for when booking a thatched roof cottage. We enjoyed listening to the stream that runs through the backyard and how cozy and homey the cottage felt. The only negative about our stay was that it was too short.

Beautifully Restored Cottage

This cottage has been restored to bring a vintage Irish home alive, and updated with modern day conveniences. It is beautifully decorated, and supplied with everything a weary traveler could need. We found it neat and tidy, and very well maintained. It is located far enough away from the noise and traffic of the city, yet an easy drive to get you there.

The loveliest character cottage

Cannot say enough good things about this little cottage. It’s excellently located to all the best attractions in Kerry, and it’s perfectly situated in the country but close enough to Castleisland to make getting groceries and going to the local pub easy. The caretaker, Timmy, built a fire for us twice and a local man gave my Dad an autographed book of his own poetry. Absolutely perfect accommodation for a family trip.

Cutest little Irish Cottage WITH HOT TUB

This was exactly what we were looking for and more! The cutest little cottage, which was actually very spacious and comfortable, had so much character, but also had modern amenities including the most delightful hot tub. Great shower also. Loved our stay. Would add that the wifi only reached to the kitchen, so wouldn't be ideal for someone who needed to really work, but for holiday it was great!
