This gracious, award-winning Kenmare townhouse is tucked away in the heart of the village. The secluded location is perfect. Instead of driving into Kenmare for a daily visit, you’re already there. Everything—groceries, pubs, restaurants, entertainment, shops, churches—are close at hand. No searching around town for a parking spot. You walk everywhere. You don’t feel like a visitor. You’ll live like locals. Nestled in a copse of eleven white birch trees, Stoneybrough contains 1540 square feet of living area, complete with a full length deck overlooking the River Finnehy, and a fine garden between. You’ll discover an ancient, beautifully designed drystone bridge, known as the Cromwell Bridge, in full view of this highly acclaimed property. A carefully tended Druid stone circle, predating Stonehenge by 2000 years, is around the corner and up toward the end of Market Street, a pleasant ten minute walk rewarded with quiet moments contemplating the ancient stonework and the hardy folk who built it. Stoneybrough boasts solid Burmese teak woodwork, wall to wall hotel grade wool carpeting throughout, beveled glass French doors and other design and decorating touches you'll find nowhere else. Guests enjoy blazing fast Starlink WiFi (Download 154; Upload 57 Mbps) along with Sky TV in the lounge, dining room, and the master suite as well. A Bluetooth-enabled stereo radio/CD player with a variety of mostly Irish music—to put you in the mood— is on the bar next to the kitchen. Play your own favorite playlists, but we challenge you to put on “Galway Girl” by The Kilkenny Boys and not sing along! Stoneybrough is now fitted with a Gen2 Alexa device for information and entertainment. Two sculptured marble fireplaces provide warmth and comfort, one with a classic Liscannor stone hearth. You'll enjoy pressured showers and powerful built-in hair dryers. A state of the art Apple iMAC computer, free WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen and private off street parking round out the amenities. For a second car, a free public car park is found just across the footbridge. Looking forward to a night on the town? With sufficient notice, we can arrange for a responsible baby sitter for you. Stoneybrough furnishes locally made, all natural non-allergenic guest soaps and luxurious robes for all our guests. The cook will find everything needed, right down to alderwood planks for those freshly caught salmon filets on the grill and a DeLonghi cappuccino/espresso machine for your pleasant, tranquil mornings on the deck. Stoneybrough is not an investment property rented and operated by an impersonal management company. Rather, it’s our second home, managed by us with the help of Joanne, our amazing housekeeper. We believe Stoneybrough strikes the perfect balance between upscale luxury and personalized, carefree service that promotes enjoyment, relaxation and genuine satisfaction, knowing you’ve made the right choice. Befitting the honor of achieving VRBO/Homeaway’s coveted “Premier Partner” level, we proudly feature premium Boll and Branch linens on every bed, and luxurious Merino lambswool-filled pillows in the Master Suite. At Stoneybrough, you’ll find American comforts you’d expect, but with an Irish accent. Along with carefully chosen period art and antiques, you'll notice a decorative battle sword mounted on a wall opposite the kitchen, and a genuine Irish drum called a boudran'. These symbolize the great paradox of Irish civilization: their fierce, warlike history melded with their fun-loving, lively and charming musical traditions. A two-minute stroll takes you to the heart of downtown, with the finest restaurants, pubs, two five star hotels, live music, and busy shops and galleries for which Kenmare is justly famous. The five-star Park and Sheen Falls hotels provide fine cuisine as well, along with luxurious spa experiences judged by Fodor's as the best in Europe. Kenmare Golf Club, with beautiful views of Kenmare Bay, is only a short walk away. The Ring of Kerry course overlooking Kenmare Bay and the majestic mountains beyond is only a ten-minute drive. You'll also find Kenmare centrally located for many of the finest golfing experiences in Ireland: the Ballybunion, Waterville, Beaufort, Dooks, Glengariff, Old Head, Tralee and Killarney courses are all within reasonable driving distances. Kenmare rests astride The Wild Atlantic Way, at the foot of the Ring of Kerry, the most popular travel destination in Ireland. There you'll find breathtaking scenery, stone age ring forts, many unforgettable stops and the striking 6th century monastic site on the island of Skellig Michael, (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The island hosted the final scenes in Star Wars VII, when Rae delivers the lost light saber to a brooding Luke Skywalker, and now, a more extensive exposure to the island in Star Wars VIII. A stunning place just an hour away from Stoneybrough. You can even visit a long string of pre-historic fossilized tetrapod tracks on nearby Valencia Island. A full day exploring the Ring, another on the wild and less-traveled Beara Peninsula, and still another spent on the equally spectacular Dingle Peninsula (Ryan's Daughter and Far And Away were filmed there) will leave you with the most indelible experiences and memories imaginable. By special arrangement, a private tour guide can customize the perfect day trips to meet your requirements, and our housekeeper, Joanne, is on call to provide flawless concierge-level service throughout your stay. Returning home, you might whip up a gourmet dinner served on Ralph Lauren Wedgwood china, with the freshest locally sourced ingredients from Roger O'Sullivan's butcher shop and the delightful small grocery just across the cobbled street from Stoneybrough. Feast on local grass fed beef, or fresh Kerry lamb, seasoned and garnished with rosemary picked from your own garden. Or indulge yourself with savory alderwood-grilled Atlantic salmon caught just offshore, with fresh dill from the deck planter. Or not! Take in an evening of fine dining, fun, music and entertainment at any of the amazing pubs and gourmet restaurants just a five minute walk away. There you’ll enjoy the freshest salmon, shrimp, whitefish, cod, and bay mussels, a local delicacy, in every bowl of steamy, creamy Kenmare seafood chowder. And try the grass-fed beef, venison, Kerry lamb, and the traditional colcannon potato dish with a bit of rich Kerry Gold butter. Delicious! Then, after an evening of fine food, drink and entertainment, stroll home under the stars, and fall asleep to the enchanting music of the River Finnehy. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Limo/town car service - Car available - Car recommended - Onsite parking includes off-street options ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Espresso maker - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Dressing gowns - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - CD player - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart speaker - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city centre - Near a hospital - Near the sea - On the bay - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Optional golf privileges - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,540 square feet ## Similar properties ![Coffee/tea maker, electric kettle](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4980000/4974600/4974573/6d2b1423.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Foley's Kenmare Kenmare - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Breakfast available - Bar 8.6 Excellent 227 reviews £100 includes taxes & fees 5 Jan - 6 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=4974573&PinnedHotelID=4974573&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House, 4 Bedrooms | In-room dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2680000/2672700/2672617/4f1612ec.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### O'Donnabhains Kenmare Townhouse Kenmare - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Breakfast available - Bar 9.0 Wonderful 278 reviews £89 includes taxes & fees 5 Jan - 6 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=2672617&PinnedHotelID=2672617&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115210000/115201300/115201212/0a168844.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House 15 Kenmare - Breakfast included - Free Wi-Fi - Housekeeping 9.4 Exceptional 20 reviews £137 includes taxes & fees 31 Dec - 1 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-31&endDate=2026-01-01&selected=115201212&PinnedHotelID=115201212&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33770000/33762900/33762809/cf96025f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kenmare Bay Hotel & Resort Kenmare - Pool - Spa - Kids’ pool - Parking included 8.8 Excellent 131 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-10&endDate=2026-01-11&selected=33762809&PinnedHotelID=33762809&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules For safety, no one under age 18 permitted in the garden.

The location was very nice, but it was the quality of the house that stood out. A lovely welcome with some food items, thick robes in the bedroom, the outdoor space overlooking the stream were among the things that added up to make this our favorite. We were a group of family -- three single retired women and a couple, and we appreciated the room to spread out. ##### Jean M.

The property was just awesome, cozy like a warm hug. The location to shops/eating was great. We came the end of November, the weather was not so great, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the heck out of Kenmare. I always tell people you can't take a bad picture in Ireland.

Before we arrived, our host John shared so much useful information about the area, the town, pubs and restaurants, and anything that could be helpful. It was our reference guide for everything. He was always available to answer any question we had. Check in was so easy. Joanne greeted us with some lovely local goodies for breakfast and more that we thoroughly enjoyed. She made sure we had everything we needed. We were very comfortable, and delighted to be within walking distance of everything. After our days of exploring it was always so nice to have such a comfortable and convenient place to come 'home' to. Great restaurants and pubs. The weather was gorgeous so we spent some time every day on the patio overlooking the stream. We all enjoyed working on the Pubs puzzle. Our time in Kenmare went by in the blink of an eye. Many thanks to Joanne for taking such good care of us, and to our gracious hosts for sharing their lovely home. We hope to be able to come again! ##### Jeffrey F.

USA 18 Oct 2017 #### Luxurious Old World home in charming Irish village We spent a week at Stoneybrough, this idyllic home on the bank of the Finnihy River and located just around the corner from the main square of Kenmare. We weren’t planning on a week, but a hurricane arrived, and we had to change our plans quickly. The owner was incredibly responsive in accommodating our needs, and in every other form of support, for that matter. He was a wealth of knowledge and advice about local sights, restaurants, shops, golf destinations, etc. The house is furnished as a real home, with comfort and convenience outfitted everywhere. Being a couple who enjoy cooking in when we can, we especially appreciated the fully-equipped kitchen set up to be truly functional — even the kitchen knives are sharp! The view out the windows of the river running by is both soothing and romantic (except perhaps when a hurricane is visiting), and the house location at the end of a short lane is perfect for being in the middle of town in two minutes yet still being secluded from village activities when at home. We’ve traveled a lot, and this was the best home-stay experience we’ve ever had. ##### Steven K. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom C. 6 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect home in a perfect location - love Kenmare! Our expectations were high given our research on Kenmare and the great reviews that Stoneybrough received from others. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. There were 6 of us staying at Stoneybrough and we did not have a car, but the townhome was ideally located with everything we needed within easy walking distance: pubs & restaurants (loved the Rookery & Mulcahy’s!), shops and grocers (the butcher shop just across the street was excellent!), pharmacies and a very nice golf course (Kenmare Golf Club). Stoneybrough itself was well appointed and easily accommodated all of us. The bedrooms and living areas were extremely comfortable, and the relaxing sound of the River Finnehy just outside was a nice addition to our stay. The thorough documentation on Kenmare provided by the owner prior to our arrival was invaluable in helping us plan our meals & sightseeing, and the property manager Joanne was extremely responsive and effective in addressing all our questions and helping us settle in. Kenmare’s location between the Ring of Kerry & the Beara Peninsula was ideal for exploring both. Couldn’t have been more perfect. Our group has definitely decided to return to Kenmare, and we would all look forward to staying at Stoneybrough again. ##### Tom C.

Thoughtfully stocked and very clean. Beds were quite comfortable, and the deck was a huge plus. We were in Kenmare during an auto rally and it was still very quiet. One of our very best vrbo rentals. ##### Marilyn L. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gwen O. 10 Sept 2018 #### Perfect!!!! Nice accommodations, perfect location in Kenmare and in spite of other comments, think it’s perfect for two. ##### Gwen O.

We've visited Kenmare many times and always choose to stay here. John is a considerate host and Joanne, his housekeeper, is a gem. We will be back! ##### Megan C.
