The old school house is a wonderful place to stay. There was plenty of space for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfasts and dinners. The beds were very comfortable. And the host was very friendly.

Good Home Base

The place is a ways out of town but easily findable. We had everything we needed, and Gemma was great to connect with. The internet went down which made navigating & planning our day difficult, but Gemma had a fix ready by the time we returned for the day, and it worked out. All of her suggestions for places to check out were spot on. We had a short stay, but it was a good one.

Hazardous location

Unfortunately our stay was marred by trucking transfers from this remote narrow laned “ idyllic location” of harvested hay at high speed past the house day and night. We have been to Ireland numerous times and are not neophytes to driving there. This is certainly not a choice I would repeat for a stay in “Killarney”.
