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

An incredibly comfortable home that’s outfitted for gourmet meals, lovely conversations, and a relaxing stay less than five minutes from bustling Killarney. Sipping a cup of coffee at the tables in the garden by the hydrangeas with the cows in the nearby field is an amazing way to start the morning. Noelle provides fabulous tips to enjoy the house and the community. Her warm and personal welcome set the tone for our visit in this beautifully maintained home. Spend a week or a month. You’ll feel right at home!

Truly the best host and house!

The house is perfection in a wonderful and serene location next to two sweet cows who we fell in love with. It’s excellently appointed with everything you could need and Noelle is such a lovely and accommodating host. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Can’t wait to return to our new Irish home away from home.

Knock Carrig house was simply amazing. A large group of us stayed for a week with three children and this house provided ample space for them to run around outside, playing and looking at the cows. Inside we had more than enough rooms for all of us to sleep in and what a treat to have a bathroom in each room!! The children loved the sitting / games / reading room and the adults tended to hang out in the gorgeous kitchen and huge eating room. The host did a really wonderful job of decorating the home, LOVED the local art!!! We got to know a taxi company as we did not have our own vehicle but this was fine (and we knew ahead of time this would be the case). Our host was very very generous and left a beautiful welcome basket which was REALLY appreciated by all of us!! We would very much recommend this location and would stay here again. A true gem!!

Our family of 6 adults and 3 children was extremely comfortable. There is so much room to roam around this home. This house is a 10 star house, and I would rate this higher if possible. Our grandchildren named the cows Elsie & Gracie who welcomed us every day. Noelle was so nice and available to any of our needs. If you are considering a trip to this area, this should only be the house you consider. Clean, new, perfect location. Excellent host.

Delightful stay

The 7 of us enjoyed our stay with Noelle and her home exceeded our every expectation! It was homey yet incredibly spacious, lots of room to gather together or to find a quiet spot. I’ve never stayed in a VRBO that was so well stocked! Your every need was anticipated! We enjoyed cooking meals together. The chest full of unopened pantry staples left for us was immediately appreciated! Everything from fine Butlers Chocolates to Irish butter to milk and eggs and Irish Brown bread to coffee and tea! Wow! My favorite STR by far and the hospitality was genuine! Thank you, thank you! We are truly grateful! The Whalen Family

A true gem!

My family and I had an amazing stay at Noelle's place! The house is beautiful, clean, and so charming. We had everything we needed and we loved seeing the cows in the yard each day (my daughter named them Milky and Mooey ). The location was also perfect as it was just a short drive into Killarney town center, the national park, and other site-seeing locations. Noelle was a wonderful host, very responsive and caring about our stay, showed me everything in the house upon check in, and even left us a very thoughtful gift basket of food that we enjoyed. I would absolutely stay here again if I find myself lucky enough to go back to Killarney!

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.

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.

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.

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
