“Lovely spacious house on golf course near Kenmare.”

Very clean with everything required. Shame the clubhouse restaurant wasn't open much, but apart from that perfect for our stay. Thank you.

Robert September 2024

“The property and location are beautiful.”

Unfortunately, poor communication before and during my stay would prohibit me from recommending this to friends. Prior to my stay it was difficult to get information regarding picking up the key. During my stay I did not get any response to two emails sent regarding operation of the fireplace and washer. Apparently, there should have been an instruction book in the cottage but this was not the case.

- Robert, September 2024

Hi Robert . Thank you for your comments about poor communication i will take this on board and see how we can improve this in the future i thank you for your feedback and the high score on the house you gave us and i do hope its not long before we see you back in Kenmare . Kind Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
John July 2024

“I used the downstairs shower as I have a bad knee and can’t get into a bath.”

Found it impossible not to flood the bathroom even with the shower head low and turned to the back wall apart from that it is a lovely house in a prime spot and we had a great time.

- John, July 2024

Hi John. Thank you for your comments great to hear you had a good time at ROK holiday home sorry to hear about the shower it looks like you had the pressure of the water turned up to much . Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
Catherine June 2024

“We had a fabulous time at the Ring of Kerry Golf Club Cottage.”

It is beautifully decorated cottage with good sized rooms and good facilities. The collection of cottages feels safe and it was so quiet with burds and wildlife all around. On the initial drive to the cottage, there were no signs for the cottages until we were practically there. You have to drive on a very bumpy track to the right of the golf club. We headed up the hill on the road and had to turn back. Cottage facilities were good. Once we had turned the boiler on, we had good warm showers. The location was great for us as we were in a beautiful spot, but we didn't feel too remote as we had some neighbours, although we barely saw anyone. We were a bit disappointed that the bar and restaurant closed for most of our visit. There appeared to be an event on one evening, but otherwise it was closed. No sign or anything saying if or when it would open. The view over the golf course was amazing. This location does require a car as it is about 4 miles to Kenmare, which is a fabulous town. The nearest bar Spillanes was also closed every time we drove past. There is a lovely rocky beach within a short drive. If you are blessed with good weather, there is a stunning beach (Paradise Found) about 45 minutes drive away. I really hope to return one day and I would recommend the cottage to others.

Check in was very easy and we were very happy with everything.

Hi Gavin. Thank you for your comments great to see you enjoyed your stay . Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
Gill May 2024

“The property is set on a very quiet holiday complex on The Ring of Kerry.”

The fixtures and fittings in the property are of a high standard and clean. The views around are breathtaking, it's in a good position for visiting many places of interest. Kenmare is a short drive away and other attractions within easy reach. Garnish Island and Dereen Garden are in a beautiful setting and well worth a visit. There are numerous ancient stone circles and buriel chambers nearby. The only minor issue was a lack of kitchen essentials, eg washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and kitchen roll which you would expect in an outstanding property. Also no welcome pack.

- Gill, May 2024

Hi Gill Thank you for your comments glad you enjoyed your stay in the house and that you enjoyed the the breathtaking scenery that is in Kenmare and Co.Kerry with regard to your minor comments ie welcome pack i will look into this for next season and i do hope that its not to long before we see you again. Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
Paul May 2024

“Only two out of three showers worked.”

Small rope line in shade at back of house. No pegs and no airer. Cleaner asked owner if we could have an airer and was told to use line. Kerry is the wettest county in ireland. Not impressed.

- Paul, May 2024

Hi. Paul. Thank you and your party of 1 for your comments and its great that you pick one of the sunniest weeks in May to stay in Kenmare that we have had in along time ' with regards to your comments about Drying your clothes the caretaker did go out and buy some more clothes pegs for you when you arrived at the house so you could do your washing and dry it on the line in the garden .I do hope this did not spoil your stay and would be delighted to see you back in Kenmare again. Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
Michelle April 2024

“A very comfortable house,clean and well maintained and very well equipped.”

Beautiful setting and very quiet. A short walk to the golf club where you can get a lovely meal in a stunning setting. There were no instructions for the heating or to use the stove even though the welcome book said there were I would definitely book this property again

- Michelle, April 2024

Hi Michelle Thank you very much for your comments which i will take on board i am delighted you enjoyed your stay and i agree with you about the Nua Vista restaurant in the Club house great food and the views are breathtaking over Kenmare Bay' i do hope its not to long before we see you again at 7 Ring of Kerry Golf Club Holiday Homes.

David September 2023

“The signage on site to the cottage is very poor.”

You have a choice of a tarmac road that looks like it goes to the cottage or a dirt track that appears to go to a maintenance yard. I made the wrong choice! A small sign would be very useful

- David, September 2023

Hi David . Thank you very much for your comments with regard to signage i will make sure the eircode is included in future booking .Thank you for your stay in the Ring of Kerry Holiday Home and hope to see you again . regards. Patrick Property Owner
Mary July 2023

“This a lovely, clean and very spacious house and extremely well equipped in a most beautiful and peaceful location within the Ring of Kerry Golf Club a few miles from the small but vibrant town of Kenmare making it extremely convenient for shopping, eating and visiting the numerous bars.”

Because of it's location a car really is necessary. There's just so many beautiful places to visit from the house and there are plenty of books and guides provided to help with planning where to go. We were a little apprehensive having read reviews of the approach road past the club house but we found it was absolutely fine and had no trouble finding it even in the dark. (We set the sat nav to the club house initially then to the holiday cottage address itself) We would love to return to this beautiful place.

- Mary, July 2023

Hi Mary. Thank you very much for your kind comments its great that you enjoyed your stay in 7 Ring of Kerry Holiday home .i do hope its not to long before we see you again in Co. Kerry . Kind Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
Kirstie July 2023

“We stayed in this beautiful home with our 3 teenage kids.”

It was fully equipped and the decor is stunning. It was immaculately clean. Beds so comfy. The views superb. A very short drive into the wonderful town of Kenmare, beautiful food and music. Having stayed in lots of holiday homes throughout Ireland we have all agreed this was a firm favourite and we hope to visit again in the future.

- Kirstie, July 2023

Hi Kristie. I am delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us at 7 Ring Of Kerry holiday home . i do hope that we see you back in the very near future many thanks for your review . Kind Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
Scott June 2023

“Great house, very clean and nothing fell below expectation.”

Fantastic location for the lovely Ring of Kerry and the small but amazing little town of Kenmare, which was a true delight of eating, drinking and music... the way the Irish do it best.

- Scott, June 2023

Hi.Scott. Thank you very much for you Review which is very much appreciate we do hope to see you soon back at the 7 Ring Of Kerry Golf Holiday home in the very near future . Regards. Patrick. Property Owner
Jenny May 2023

“The cottage is spacious,clean and comfortable.”

It is a bit challenging to find and it is about a 5 minute drive into Kenmare. The washer is only a washer so drying your clothes is a challenge. Better instructions would be Helpful for the heater for people not used to that type of system. It is a lovely spot and the views are amazing.

- Jenny, May 2023

Hi Jenny. Thank you very much for your kind comments .In future i will include the eircode which will help with the location of the house and up date the home uses manual for the heating . I look forward to seeing you again at the Ring Of Kerry Holiday home . Regards. Patrick Property Owner
Ian October 2022

“Great place to stay.”

Felt like home away from home. Great location too. We had a fantastic holiday despite some bad weather. The only real issues were no bathroom mats (the tiles were dangerously slippy) and a flooding downstairs shower room.

- Ian, October 2022

Hi Ian. Thanks for you comments nice to hear you had a great stay with us with regards to the approach road this road is owned by Sheen Falls and they are currently looking at putting a new approach road in the very near future . Hope to see you back very soon . Regards. Patrick Property Owner
Michael Adrian September 2022

“The house itself was lovely.”

We would have been delighted with it if it had provided a DVD/CD player like every other Cottage we have stayed at. Our carefully selected collection of DVD/CDs brought from home had to stay in the car.

“Beautiful house in a great location.”

The house was cosy, clean and had everything you could want. The pressure of the water is not great but that is the area not the cottage. The caretaker, Michelle was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. I would love to go back some time in the future.

- Margaret, June 2022

Still had a wonderful holiday. Thanks very much and hope to stay with them again Sean Garvey

Caitrina June 2021

“I do think the cottage needs a new hoover.”

I tried to hoover and it wasn't working correctly. The TV could do with updating also . But apart from that a lovely stay. Everything you need for a trip. ROMI was lovely and looked after us very well with anything we needed.

- Caitrina, June 2021

Hi Caitrina . Thank you very much for your comments with regard to the TVS I agree with your comments the TVS where old we have replace the two TV with smart TV i checked the hoover and found that it was blocked its only one year old so its all working well know i do hope this did not spoil your stay and do hope to see you again in the near future.

“Beautiful holiday home, clean, spacious and very homely.”

The view from the clubhouse was amazing. Romina the lady taking care of the house was lovely, very quick to respond to any questions. We had a slight issue that was resolved within hours, the owner kindly sent us a lovely bottle of wine. Kenmare is a great spot, loads to do and see. Really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend this holiday home to friends and family. B.Walsh

“Our second time at County Kerry Golf Club , we knew what to expect and we were not disappointed we never had the views we did last time but that no way impinged on our enjoyment, facilities were great and comfort was superb, we would have liked more outdoor space but we still managed with 6 of us to have a barbacue and sit outside etc .”

must mention Romi who looked after us on our arrival and was always avaiable if we had any issues etc thanks R do not be put of with the 3/4 miles to Kenmare it is quite convienent not having to drive through the town to go to Killarney our the Ring of Kerry , or just to pop up to Molls gap for lunch and Coffee Paul

We received a very warm welcome from Romy who was very informative about the local area and places to visit. We had fantastic evenings out and toured the beautiful Ring of Kerry and the Beara Peninsula taking in the wonderful scenery, great food and entertainment. The Ring of Kerry Golf course was amazing and we were made to feel very welcome by the golf pro James and the club staff. We had a truly unforgettable time ....and will definitely visit again.

“Very handy being able to walk down to the club house restaurant in the evening and not have to worry about driving home.”

The food was first class especially the double burger which was definitely a whopper and tasty according to my husband, and was better value than eating in Kenmare.

The property

A smart, welcoming, detached holiday home in the beautiful grounds of the Ring of Kerry Golf Club, four miles from the town of Kenmare.

The house is situated amongst a few similar properties and is a fantastic base for a break with friends or family, not only for golf enthusiasts but also for those wishing to discover Kerry.

There are three bedrooms upstairs, including one with a king-size bed and en-suite, the second with a 4ft double bed and the third with two single beds.

There is also a bathroom on this floor and a wet room downstairs with a walk-in shower.

Numerous windows and several sets of double doors line the front of the property, making the rooms downstairs bright and pleasant in the sunshine.

There are two sitting rooms, both with gas fires so you can stay cosy in the winter months, and one of the sitting rooms has double doors opening into the kitchen.

There is lots of space for preparing meals in the kitchen, and everyone can dine together around the dining table, or gather to plan the day?s excursions.

Nearby, the town of Kemare is a wonderful holiday base with a selection of welcoming pubs and interesting shops and boutiques.

The area around Kenmare is even more wondrous; the Ring of Kerry and the Beara Peninsula both present amazing ocean vistas to the avid adventurer, and the chance to discover the unspoilt, untarnished beauty of Ireland.

Visit The Ewe Experience, a park in Glengarriff filled with mesmerising interpretive sculptures, take a cable car across to Dursey Island from the tip of the Beara Peninsula, or pack a picnic, pull on your walking boots and spend the day getting lost in the Killarney National Park.

There is such beautiful countryside and coastline to explore in this enchanting corner of Ireland, and Ring of Kerry Golf Club is sure to make your holiday a truly memorable one.

A picturesque town situated on the stunning Bay of Kenmare, overlooking the gleaming Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful beaches, wildlife and lovely scenery abound here.

Kenmare is an interesting town, full of character and colour, with long winding streets setting the scene for farmers' markets, artists' galleries, lovely little boutiques and some of the best restaurants in Ireland! The town is also situated on the Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way.
