Kid-friendly holiday rentals in County Kerry

Absolute recommendation! A little paradise in an impressive beautiful area of Ireland. Idyllic, animals right at the doorstep (dog, cats, ponies, donkeys), a very hospitable hostess and a super-equipped modern cottage! Ideal for exploring the area around the Ring of Kerry. We were thrilled and would recommend it to everyone! It should only be considered that the cottage is a little off the beaten path from the nearest village of Sneem (about 10 minutes drive). In return, you have absolute peace and a stunning view of a beautiful landscape. It was hard for us to leave.

Martin and Bridgette were excellent hosts. 3 things we look for are cleanliness, comfort and quiet. We got these in abundance. The view from the house was stunning and seeing all the deer in the garden was very special. Good base for touring the penninsulas with great food in town. I highly recommend if you want to find peace and serenity. Thank you, Martin and Bridgette for being so kind, responsive and helpful. XXX

We spent four unforgettable nights at Seaview House and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The panoramic views of Derrynane Bay and the Skellig Islands were absolutely breathtaking, and the peaceful setting made it the perfect retreat. The house was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to cook several meals at home. After long days of hiking and sightseeing, we really appreciated the comfy beds and hot showers. We loved watching the sheep graze just outside and taking the short walk to the nearby pier, where we met friendly locals and even found some sea glass on the rocky beach. The location is ideal—close to Caherdaniel and beautiful beaches, but still quiet and relaxing. With easy access to the Kerry Way, Skellig tours, and nearby historic sites, this home is a perfect base for exploring the area. We truly loved our time here and would highly recommend Seaview House to anyone looking for a scenic and peaceful getaway on the Ring of Kerry.

It is hard to describe the joy, beauty and warmth of the experience we had at Gretta's beautiful home. The location was beyond our wildest dreams, right under beautiful green hills of sheep and a short walk from an absolutely stunning beach. The home itself was incredibly thoughtfully laid out, decorated, and stocked with everything four travelers needed. However, the best part of our stay was Gretta herself! Her genuine and authentic hospitality, perfect local recommendations, and delicious homemade bread made our stay so special. Gretta and William were an absolute delight and we were all sad to wave goodbye. We will be back!

What a great stay at a beautifully well appointed home. Plenty of space and lots nice touches to make you feel welcome. Siobhan was awesome and so friendly. Her communication was quick and timely. Highly recommend this place to stay.

We loved our stay. The view from upstairs was simply stunning and a wonderful place to sit and watch the Atlantic coast and big changing sky. Truely beautiful. The house is well appointed for self catering and the beach down the road a treat. We could easily have stayed for weeks.

Catherine and Liam welcomed us v warmly, lots of suggestions for sightseeing and hanging out in the local pub. The cottage was lovely and peaceful with the cows right outside the window. They were v quick to respond and help us out. We recommend staying here and we’ll probably be back 😉

What a great place in the county Jack and his father Tom were so kind and friendly. Saw the milking as well. Nice spot to travel to Dingle or Ring of Kerry which were amazing Thx again

For adventurous travelers looking for an experience rather than merely a place to stay, this place and location has a lot to offer. After staying at chalets and places convenient for one night stops, it was fun to drive through Glengariff Nature Preserve through the winding roads up into the hilltop location surrounded by woods with openings looking out over the beautiful hilly terrain. Chopping wood to heat the small apartment heightened the feeling of living as one of the locals for a while. We appreciated Gesine’s helpful notes to get there and enjoyed chatting with her about life in this peaceful place. While day trips taking the ferry to Garnish Island or driving over Caha Pass to Killarney National Park were nice, we are glad we took advantage of the location and spent time away from tourist-filled areas to enjoy quiet, peaceful hikes along the nearby Riverwalk and through some of Pooleen Woods. This was a great addition to our first-time travel experience in Ireland!

Great Airbnb! Spacious, comfortable, and well stocked. I recommend this for future guests!

This was a great place to stay. We were there in June, and several beautiful rose bushes were blooming right outside the window. It has a full kitchen with a big refrigerator & freezer. There was ice in the freezer, which we appreciated. It was nice to spread out with 2 bathrooms. The hosts stopped in on our first day and third day to make sure everything was fine and to ask if we needed anything. On their first visit, they showed us how to work the heat and turn on the hot water when needed, which was helpful. Thomas and Eileen are very kind, and meeting them made our stay extra special. Our hosts were my favorite part of the stay.

Everything was fine, we really liked it.

Check in was easy with clear instructions. Apartment has a dedicated elevator to open in the apartment. Great views , kitchen had adequate utensils for cooking. Bedroom was hugh with king size comfortable bed. The only downside was the water pressure in the shower. Walkable to all of Dingle restaurants and shopping.Two very nice grocery stores a 5 minute walk. A 5 star stay!

John was communicative and helpful from the get go. His place was easy to find and access. As others have said it is in the heart of the town, making it close to everything, but also a bit loud on a weekend - a white noise machine took care of all that though. Great spot and very convenient!

Host was superb amazing and place was fantastic as well. We had so much fun there.

clean, well fitted and furnished. good location, right on the high street. good soundproofing from the double glazed windows. parking very convenient but a little awkward. stairs to the apartment are not the friendliest if you have a large suitcase

Very cute, comfy place to stay! It's close enough to Dingle that it takes little time to get in town, but far enough to enjoy the peace of the countryside. Helen was very friendly and courteous, going so far as to take care of our drying laundry when it started to rain and we were away. Would definitely stay here again!

A “must” to stay at! Julie was the ultimate host! Any request was not an issue for her. The place was spotlessly clean, with easy to use amenities. It looked lovely and it felt lovely! We did not want for anything! It was an easy 30 minute stroll to the town centre too. Highly recommended!

A cosy but spacious little nest surrounded by gorgeous scenery The location is absolutely fantastic as it is so close to the town center of Killarney, the entrance to the ring of Kerry and an hour away from Dingle, which was our next stop Mike and Sinead were the most amazing hosts as they provided us with lots of information and recommendations Highly recommend

Absolutely loved our stay here! Very accessible to all the pubs and food Killarney has to offer (less than 5 min walk) and was on a quiet street. Parking was very easy with a huge lot right next to the entrance of the apartment complex. You do have to pay to park between 8:30-18:30, but it was fairly cheap. Instructions to get inside were very clear, and the manual had step by step instructions for all amenities (including how to heat water for a shower). This place came with everything we needed including a fan for at night! Would absolutely recommend this place!!!

Bridie was fantastic, met us at check-in and suggested where to go for dinner - she also helped us map our route to the Cliffs of Moher the next day via the ferry. She was so kind and we felt right at home. The cottage is fantastic. I just wish we spent more than one night!

We loved our stay in this spacious and comfortable apartment right in the heart of Castlegregory. We appreciated the many practical touches, such as the well-thought-out kitchen, two couches, access to washer and dryer, front entrance with easy access to Tailor’s Row and back entrance with private parking. We liked Maura’s design aesthetics a lot (the clock, the electric kettle, the cool bedroom shades, etc). It was wonderfully and unexpectedly quiet after dark—no sounds at all from cars, planes, dogs, street conversations. We have no complaints at all!

It was simple to get to the airbnb. We had no problems at all during our stay. Everything was in perfect conditions and we were grateful to have so many appliances. Thank you! Great location, 15 min drive from Dingle.

Staying with Carmel is OG Airbnb, where there is actually a local host not an off-site corporation who owns the property you’re staying in. Carmel was wonderful and so welcoming. I was traveling alone and I really appreciate when it feels like I could reach out to the host if I have trouble without being a bother. The place itself is spectacular. They also have an actually stocked kitchen with more than just salt and pepper, which is soooo grand because you don’t have to spend money on an entire bottle of oil or butter or jam for a couple of quick meals. I hope to go back one day!
