The house was clean, comfortable and close to the lovely town of Kenmare. Views from the house are amazing. We were able to do day trips from there such as The Ring of Kerry and Kinsale. Jer was an attentive host. We definitely recommend Bar Cillatah! ##### dbmdwhit Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Debb L. 4 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious accommodation The photos aligned well with actual property and the grounds were lovely for sitting outside and admiring the views and the wildlife.

We stayed there 4 nights and it was amazing . The views were incredible and it was a special treat to have breakfast outside with the mountain and lake views . The beds were comfortable ( a tough feat for me because of back issues ). The place was very clean and comfortable . It was a special treat for my family to stay there and we all highly recommend . It has been our favorite stay in Ireland so far and we would definitely come back ! Thank you for sharing your special place with us! ##### Thomas G.

The property is stunning and for the most part a great stay. The house needs a 'spring' cleaning/update with new linens/pillows and possibly a mattress topper. Jer was very helpful when needed. Thank you for introducing us to a great cultural experience! ##### Judith C.

It is immaculately clean, spacious and lovely and bright. It is also extremely cosy, well insulated and easy to heat. The location is very private and the elevation of the site provided panoramic views over Kenmare Bay. Jer was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any issues. We hope to return. ##### Ciara H.

We can't wait to return! ##### Amy C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip M. 2 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent House Excellent Location This is a beautiful property - easy to sit around and do nothing.

It's a huge place, with plenty of space indoors and acres outdoors - great for kids to play and grown-ups to relax. I really miss the views - the sunsets over the bay are to die for and waking up to see a number of deer on the front lawn each day was a treat. Loads to do in the local area with the Beara Peninsula on your doorstep and a pub with good food within walking distance. ##### Daniel P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hugh C., Kildare, Ireland 11 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautifully Peaceful Getaway The property is in a beautiful peaceful location, but only a couple of minutes drive from Kenmare. My family and I spent a lovely week there, and have no issue in recommending it. The owner was always available if needed. ##### Hugh C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason M. 8 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent House and lovely location Perfect location for our trip to Kenmare.

The site is very beautiful and generous. One star less because of the annoying arrival: after a long day of tavelling, we first had to make ourselves familiar with the heating system as we were expected by a cold house. Furthermore, i don't agree that guests have to pay extra for gas and electricity, especially in a house announced as a luxury home. ##### Roman S.

The location was perfect with panoramic views over Kenmare Bay. Jer Foley the owner could not have been more helpful or accommodating and we certainly look forward to returning there. Our visit in late September was blessed with beautiful weather and we were able to sit and enjoy the evening sun looking out at Magillycuddy's Reeks whilst the wild deer grazed on our front lawn less than 20 meters from us.

It was a pleasure seeing the deer in the morning and having a cup of tea on the terrace. Plenty to see from there, though you have to drive to the hiking places. We explored a bit the Kerry Ring but actually preferred the Ring of Beara close to the house because it´s not so busy and very wild and beautiful. Communication with the owner and check-in were easy. ##### Sabine L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew N. 10 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bar Cill Atha - review Bar Cill Atha is a fantastic property. Inside, it's tastefully furnished to a high standard and is a very comfortable and pleasant place to spend time. Outside, it's little short of magical - offering fantastic views over the Kenmare River with the awesome MacGillycuddy Reeks in the distance. It's also very convenient - just a few minutes by car from Kenmare, which is surely the best town in Kerry! But at the same time, Bar Cill Atha's position gives the property a strong sense of seclusion and privacy - a real escape from the world! It would be hard to recommend the property too highly. My wife and I will certainly be returning! ##### Andrew N. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graeme F. 21 May 2019 #### Tranquil Met all expectations. ##### Graeme F.

Bar Cillatha is lovely comfortable house with a great view over Kenmare Bay and beyond. Its spacious bedrooms and bathrooms provide a great sense of ease and relaxation. It has all you could need for self catering and in winter it is really snug by the fire. In summer it would be great for a barbecue. You can go on great walks or cycles directly from the house or from a short drive away. It is only a few minutes into Kenmare town with its range of cafes, shops and restaurants to suit everyone. So whether you want a quiet time or lots of activity it is a super base. Jer is a great host and anything needed is taken care of without delay. Very highly recommended. ##### Seamus C.

The house is very spacious and comfortable, tastefully decorated and has a lovely view across the bay.
