Killarney is a lively town that’s host to a number of creative boutiques, art galleries, outlet stores, a cinema, Irish-dancing shows in the summer, and much more. You’ll find a wide range of restaurants with local Irish fare, traditional pub grub, international cuisine, and fine dining. Killarney has its own local craft beer, and is famous for traditional Irish music and good craic. We recommend you make this part of your agenda! Visit the stunning Killarney National Park, with its 26,000 acres, native oak forests and large population of wild deer. Walk from the town to Ross Castle at the edge of the water, and take a boat ride through the Lakes of Killarney or walk back into town. Walk through the park towards Muckross and take in the beautiful, roaring power of Torc Waterfall before heading back by jaunting car or on foot to the town. Muckross House is a fabulous furnished 19th-century Victorian mansion in the Muckross area of the National Park, with beautiful grounds, an arboretum, a craft arts shop, a working farm, and a café. You can visit the interior of the house, which still holds much of its original furniture and art. Walk around the grounds on the edge of Muckross Lake or venture further on one of the many trails that winds through oak and hazel woods. Nearby is Muckross Abbey, the roofless ecclesiastical Franciscan site with a vaulted cloister and founded in the 15th century. See one of the oldest trees in Ireland, the famous yew tree, claimed to be more than 500 years old.

Welcome to Knockcarrig House, Killarney, Ireland! Here we offer a little bit of Irish country living in Killarney to holidaymakers. We built Knockcarrig on the edge of our private 20 acre cattle farm which is less than a 10 minute drive to the town centre of Killarney. 'Knockcarrig' comes from the Irish language which means hill of the stones. As farmers who feel an incredible link to the land, it was only fitting to call our house after the farm land on which it is found. If you were to literally start digging in the fields, you would find plenty of stones in the earth! Traditionally these stones were then used to build walls to divide the fields of the farm. And as for the hill part- well if you were to walk from one end of the farm to the other, you would find yourself climbing a little hill which gives you a panoramic view of the magnificent McGillicuddy Reek mountains!
