Thatched Cottage with Hot Tub walking distance to Hughe's Pub.



Cottage Mary Rose is Celebrating it's 22nd year of hosting guests! Cottage Mary Rose is a beautiful 18th century, white-washed, thatched roof cottage. One of Ireland's few remaining, it is what you dream of when thinking of Ireland. And with 21st Century amenities including increased water pressure, central heating, Jacuzzi tub and even a hot tub on our expansive rear deck overlooking a rushing stream below. Nestled in the pastoral valley of Mount Eagle. Hughes Bar (Pub)is just a 5 minute walk from the cottage. We boast an all natural garden. It is surrounded by its original dry stone walls and fuchsia. County Kerry is considered to be one of the most breathtaking places on this earth! There is so much close by to explore here. If you need a place to escape and get away from it all...…...you have found it. The peaceful country setting with amazing spa features, a rushing stream and a private cottage garden of your own! And it offers complete privacy.

You are welcomed by the bright red double door. As you enter, you get the feeling that you have stepped back in time. With its stone fireplace and high lofted ceilings in the sitting room it is a great room for conversation and games. Antiques fill the cottage with traditional and comfortable furniture as well. It is amazing to think of what this cottage has survived. It has truly come a long way from traditional Irish life to having the luxuries we dream of. There is a Jacuzzi tub and dishwasher as well as a bright red Aga stove so you can actually enjoy cooking. Truly an ideal place to call home while exploring the many treasures of CountyKerry. We do have WiFi and cable TV with many channels.
We welcome our guests with Irish treats.
The church and Kearney's small grocer are both next to Hughe's. Cottage Mary Rose is located in north Kerry. This makes Tralee and Killarney reachable in about 25 minutes. Also, County Cork is close to reaching the famed Blarney Castle is about an hour's drive.
We all need to escape and refresh our minds and souls. Being in nature and treating ourselves is the best medicine there is. Come, relax and enjoy the spa features and enjoy the beauty of the country, waiting to embrace you. We look forward to having you as our guest's. We are a proud member of Failte Ireland.

Cannot say enough good things about this little cottage. 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.

Great cottage for a long weekend, perfect for visiting Killarney and the surrounding area and hiking. The cottage has everything we needed and the host was very helpful and welcoming.

The Cottage Mary Rose has been updated but still holds onto the charm and history of Ireland we were looking for.

This cottage was the perfect introduction to Ireland and such a unique stay. 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.

If you want a traditional Irish cottage, this is perfect. Not new and modern, but charming and cozy. Country setting, but near town.

This was exactly what we were looking for and more! 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!

My family and I were delighted with Cottage Mary Rose. Very comfortable, charming and well kept. The deck and grounds were beautiful. Easy parking and Mary and Michael were very responsive. Nearby Castleisland had everything you could need.Easy day trips to Dingle, Galway and Cliffs of Moher.

We loved this vrbo, it was an authentic Irish cottage. 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!!!

Cute, traditional Irish cottage! 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!

We couldn't have asked for more!! Mary Rose cottage is the exact thatched roof cottage I picture when I think of Ireland! The half doors and beautiful gardens just add to it!! We enjoyed the hot tub and even through some true Irish rain drops! Delightful! It was so inviting to be greeted at check in with a fire going and everything. Thank you for offering such a sweet and secluded Irish experience for us! And thank you for the special honeymoon treats! It was perfect!

From the start communication and the plans went smoothly- This cottage was more than what we could have hoped for. The amazing fireplace prepared and ready to go with Irish Turf. The home itself decorated with much love & attention- Clean and cozy! Stocked with special snacks/coffee and ample supplies for our stay-not one detail overlooked Felt I was welcomed into a charming home of a friend- Thank you for sharing such a wonderful Irish home! We will have fond memories of our lovely stay!

If you ever wondered how our Irish ancestors lived ,this property will help you to understand.As a youngster I spent time every summer at my grandparents house in Chicago. They both came from county Kerry and this cottage in county Kerry made me feel what their life may have been like before they.left for America.The beauty of the place is that all the upgrades like a hot tub, a Hugh jetted tub, plenty of hot water, a dishwasher,etc do not detract from the essential feel of the place.

Our family stayed here for a week and the location was a good one for day trips through County Kerry, Cork and Limerick. The cottage is quaint and appointed with all necessary items you'll need, including a washer and dryer, which comes in handy. Being an old, historical home, it comes with its own minor quirks which mostly add to the charm. Overall the home was clean. The local caretakers are very nice and helpful. The only drawback was that the home was a bit musty. This could be due to the unusually wet summer Ireland was experiencing. This was my first time staying in a thatched roof stone cottage and one I will remember fondly.

This vacation has been in the planning for over a year. I booked the Cottage Mary Rose over a year ago for a three week getaway to a genuine old time Irish Cottage in a small country town in county Kerry. We’ve been to Ireland before but both times on the quick traveler see everything vacation. Our desire this time was to settle down and experience the Irish lifestyle in the country. All the pictures on the site still don’t do the cottage justice as to how quickly you feel at home and settled in. We spent three glorious weeks exploring at a leisurely pace and getting to meet many local citizens and business people. Walked to church, shopped at local grocery store and had a few pints at Hughes Bar. The neighboring town of Castleisland has many restaurants and pubs. We became regulars at Pat’s Cafe for breakfast and a late lunch. The food is simply as good as any you can find in all of Ireland. We thank William for creating a special place in the Cottage Mary Rose and Mary and Mike for making sure everything is perfect for the guests. I can say with certainty we will be back.

We stayed in this delightful cottage for 4 nights, and we all wished it could have been for longer. This cottage has been lovingly restored and is in a beautiful spot in Cordal. Dennis and Eileen were fabulous hosts and William kindly responded to all my questions and concerns. It was an incredible experience to stay here, and to be woken by the sound of cows and crows. The hot tub was also a wonderful extra, particularly enjoyed by my kids. The cottage was very well equipped and spotless, the beds were comfortable and the en suite, though small, was very nicely done and much appreciated. There were 6 of us, and there was a good amount of space. We even went to the nearby pub one night, where everyone was very friendly. Nearly Castleisland (5km) has a couple of large grocery shops and restaurants. We felt this was an ideal location to explore County Kerry while the nearby Crag Cave (less than 10 mins away) was a great way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy morning. The time we spent there will be remembered for a long time, and I would go back in a heartbeat. I would give 6 out of 5 if I could.
