Beaufort, Killarney, Co. Kerry

For online booking please visit Fivestar.ie Idyllically set in 40 acres of woodland, this 18th-century manor house overlooks one of the most scenic rivers in Killarney, County Kerry. Originally a castle, the mansion house and cottages provide luxury self-catering accommodation for up to 30 guests. This historic property dates back to 1598, when in 1760, the present house was built with the remaining three walls of the castle forming the hallway, which makes it probably the oldest inhabited space in Kerry. The interior was altered in 1840, and the chimney pieces and plasterwork date from this time. Accommodation: Along with the main house, there are four self-catering cottages. The main house sleeps eight, and one of the cottages also sleeps 8. One cottage sleeps 6, and 2 cottages sleep four each. Main House: Totally refurbished in recent years, the mansion house is now available for holiday rentals, offering four large double bedrooms, each with king-size beds convertible to twin (two single beds) and en suite bathroom. Reception rooms include a drawing room, library and formal dining room. Cottages: In 1998 the 18th-century stone courtyard was converted to provide additional accommodation in four superbly appointed cottages-they are named after Killarney's rivers. The largest, Laune, has four bedrooms, Flesk has three bedrooms and Torc and Keal each has two bedrooms. The comfortable sitting rooms have warm, open fires, CD stereos, televisions and video recorders. Each cottage also has a utility room with a washing machine. The two larger cottages have especially spacious dining areas and sitting rooms, ideal for entertaining. All the bedrooms are equally spacious with king-size beds, convertible to a twin, and every bedroom has an en suite bathroom. We provide all linen, including Egyptian cotton bed linen and bath towels, but beach towels are not provided. The kitchen/dining room areas open onto south or west-facing terraces with views of the mountains. The kitchens are equipped with gas hobs, double ovens, microwaves and dishwashers.
