    “Roomy cottage close to Killorglin, on a quiet road.”

    No problem parking. There's an Aldi close by, and a few pubs in town. Everything was clean and ready for us, key available. We had a dog, and garden was fully enclosed. Kitchen is spacious, with a big fridge, dishwasher, washing machine. Bedrooms good size, plenty of storage. It rained quite a bit, but that's SW Ireland! We struggled initially with the oven, but got it worked out after a day; it works well once you know what you're doing. Also had some issues with the boiler timing. ...

    No problem parking. There's an Aldi close by, and a few pubs in town. Everything was clean and ready for us, key available. We had a dog, and garden was fully enclosed. Kitchen is spacious, with a big fridge, dishwasher, washing machine. Bedrooms good size, plenty of storage. It rained quite a bit, but that's SW Ireland! We struggled initially with the oven, but got it worked out after a day; it works well once you know what you're doing. Also had some issues with the boiler timing. Would have been nice to have a little guide on that. We always had hot water, but pretty sure we had boiler on more than it could have been! But overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the cottage!

    Hi Steve, Firstly, apologies for the weather, it really was an exceptionally bad week. As regards the oven, yes these days all appliances seem to be complicated but the book of instructions was in a kitchen drawer, you should have called me and I would have popped in to explain. I have taken your comment re the boiler on board and will leave a note for any future guests, when I personally check in guests I usually explain. It is always set for hot water. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, much appreciated! Kind Regards, Sarah Kelly... Property Owner

The property

Enjoying a lovely position on a quiet private estate just outside the centre of Killorglin, 17 Clover Hill makes a lovely holiday destination for those seeking to explore County Kerry.

Boasting a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, 17 Clover Hill is ideal for a variety of groups and can sleep up to five guests in three bedrooms.

After parking in your off-road parking space, head in through the front door and find a spacious sitting room to the right of the hallway, with two plush sofas to relax on and a wonderful woodburning stove set within a slate fireplace, with a glimpse through to the dining area in the next room through the duel-facing fireplace.

Come together in the kitchen/diner, enjoying the warmth from the fire in the cooler months, as you make use of the excellent appliances within the stylish fitted kitchen, complete with a large American-style fridge/freezer.

A utility room houses the washing machine, while patio doors lead out to the lovely enclosed garden where you can dine alfresco on the patio furniture, play games on the lawn with children and pets, and securely store bikes in the lockable shed.

A ground-floor double bedroom is perfect for any members of the group who prefer not to tackle the stairs, served by a ground-floor shower room reached via a dressing room, whilst upstairs you can find a further double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a single and a bathroom.

The friendly town of Killorglin is a wonderful place to base a stay for the lovely streets lined with colourful houses, welcoming pubs and many shops, with a lovely scenic position next to the River Laune.

Enjoy riverside walks and catch sight of the active rowing club practicing, with these salmon-rich waters also being an excellent spot for keen anglers, with the Laune Salmon and Trout Anglers Association welcoming visiting anglers with permits and licenses available.

Perhaps the most well-known thing about Killorglin is that it's home to one of Ireland's oldest, longest and most unusual festivals at the start of August, Puck Fair, which entails the tradition of capturing a wild Puck goat and enthroning it on a pedestal, as well as hosting open air concerts, dancing displays and lots more!

The town is also a gateway to the Ring of Kerry on the Iveragh Peninsula, offering a wonderful cycling route for keen cyclists to really take in the magnificent scenery of the area.

Ireland's highest mountain range, MacGillycuddy's Reeks provides a backdrop to the town, while the beaches of Cromane, Dooks and Rossbeigh are all within easy driving distance as is the Dingle Peninsula.

The Killarney National Park is another marvellous place to explore, as is Lough Leane.

Discover the wonders of County Kerry from this beautiful holiday home, 17 Clover Hill.

About the location

KILLORGLIN, COUNTY KERRY

Killarney 12 miles.

The pretty town of Killorglin is situated in the heart of County Kerry, near the River Laune. Surrounded by great scenery, Killorglin is the gateway to the Ring of Kerry and offers a variety of cafes, restaurants and pubs, along with great fishing possibilities both on the River Laune and at nearby Caragh Lake. The town is also home to the annual Puck Fair, one of Ireland's oldest street festivals, held every August. Close to a great choice of lovely sandy beaches and a golfer's paradise, with an abundance of golf courses in the area. North East to the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry, between the MacGillycuddy Reeks and the Dingle Peninsula, is Milltown. A quiet town where you may experience the old world, with clattering clip clop of horses' hooves as they come and go from the local busy riding stables. From Killorglin along the coast to the West is the lovely village of Glenbeigh, offering a wealth of traditional inns and good restaurants, whilst providing easy access to the Blue Flag beach at Rossbeigh Strand, a sandy beach stretching over 4 miles, renowned for its safe swimming, adventure sports and paragliding. The delightful town of Killarney is also within easy reach, offering a selection of good shops, restaurants, bars and theatres.
