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. ##### janiece m.

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. ##### Mary B.

There aren’t many thatch roof cottages anymore and especially rare to be along side a river with a hot tub and beautiful garden. It was a dream to stay at and the contacts were really easy to work with given our flight changes. Would absolutely recommend. ##### Kathryn M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie R. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Castleisland stay We enjoyed our stay and how original this home was. The hot tub and creek out back was so relaxing after a day of traveling. We didn’t cook while there so I can’t remark on cooking supplies and etc. I think some shelving in the large wardrobes in bedrooms would help a lot. We used the extra small table in the utility area to lay out our clothes so we didn’t have to get into luggage everyday. They had plenty of extra covers/pillows in 2nd bedroom. They also had toilet paper and paper towel for arrival which was nice. The parking issue mentioned in another review is no problem at all it’s literally 10 feet from the gate of the house. We would definitely stay again! It’s a beautiful area and the owner at Hughes bar told us to go to Brownes bar for live music on a Friday night and it was the highlight of our trip. Beautiful place with the friendliest people. ##### Katie R.

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! ##### Sara L.

We spent our entire 2 week vacation at Cottage Mary Rose as our home base from which to explore the southwest part of Ireland. It was perfect! Genuine Ireland at its best. The cottage itself is beautiful, cozy, a sanctuary to retreat to after a full day of touring. The manager and caretaker are amazing and so welcoming. The gardens surrounding the cottage and the creek beside it add even more beauty and serenity to this very special haven. We’ve left a part of our hearts here in this lovely place and hope to return soon! ##### Daniel C.

Communication with the host and the local people who help take care of the cottage was great. Timmy the groundskeeper was extremely helpful upon our arrival at the location. Very spaceous, with a large fireplace, full kitchen, washer, dryer. Lots of history and photos of the cottage over the years. Central to Killarney and Dingle. Our favourite!!! ##### Carolyn T.

Other than where it’s situated it’s a very charming little cottage. The problem is what the listing doesn’t not convey. There is no parking on site. Parking is across a relatively busy street. Inside the amenities had their charm but were old. Inside things felt cramped. Nice deck by a stream. ##### gary b.

We loved all of the photos and neat antiques in the home. Cottage was well cleaned and exterior gardens and patio areas were amazing. Wish we had more time and dry weather to sit and enjoy coffee on the back deck. Kids loved the hot tub! We appreciated having a clothes dryer. There were plenty of extra blankets and towels. Communication was always quick and very helpful. Location was great for all of our day trips. We would return again! ##### Dawn O. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Erin W. 10 May 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Not recommended We \[family of 6, 3 adults, 3 kids (12, 10, 8)\] recently traveled across all of Ireland. We had 3 nights booked at this home. Once arriving, we were instructed to park across the street, and to be careful crossing as its a busy street. That should have been our first red flag. We parked at the CEMETARY (2nd red flag), and entered the property. The grounds are quite lovely, not at all a place for a kids to play however. There is a running stream behind the property, and no safe guard to keep the kids from falling down the ravene. Watch your head when entering through the front door, its a low clearance. There are 2 bathrooms, one where there was no functioning light, and the other with a shower the perfect size for our young kids, maybe. There was very little to no space to put any of our luggage. The house is maxed out on decor, leaving no room to wiggle. We knew immediately that we would not be staying, as none of the kids were happy, and 2 of the adults were quite displeased. So we contacted the owner, William, and asked if we could receive a refund for 2 of the nights and our cleaning fee. He offered to return the cleaning fee and nothing else and requested we not leave a review. He has since opted to not reply to me. This home would offer a rural Ireland experience, and I would not recommend it for small kids. We left within an hour of arriving, and didnt let this one hiccup in our trip affect our plans. ##### Erin W.

There was landscaping done the morning after our first nights stay. Unfortunately I was sick in bed that day so the noise was a bit distracting. We were unable to get water in the guest bathroom shower so we all took a shower in the master bathroom. The water pressure was amazing in the master shower. There were a lot of gnats flying around, smell of propane/gas, musty - but otherwise a very unique home. The management was very quick to respond when we were not able to find the place. ##### Carrie L.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was centrally located to many towns and attractions with a very cozy atmosphere. We loved the hot tub, stream, and beautiful gardens. The local pub was also a great highlight! ##### Susan W.
