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



Cottage Mary Rose is Celebrating it's 21st 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.

Rustic
The cottage was very rustic. Other than where it’s situated it’s a very charming little cottage. The problem is what the listing doesn’t not convey. There is no parking on site. Parking is across a relatively busy street. Inside the amenities had their charm but were old. Inside things felt cramped. Nice deck by a stream.

The most wonderful vacation experience ever!
We spent our entire 2 week vacation at Cottage Mary Rose as our home base from which to explore the southwest part of Ireland. It was perfect! Genuine Ireland at its best. The cottage itself is beautiful, cozy, a sanctuary to retreat to after a full day of touring. The manager and caretaker are amazing and so welcoming. The gardens surrounding the cottage and the creek beside it add even more beauty and serenity to this very special haven. We’ve left a part of our hearts here in this lovely place and hope to return soon!

Great stay in an adorable cottage!
Our stay here was wonderful. This cottage has been around for a long time and we appreciated staying in a little piece of history. The cottage felt like our home away from home. We loved the huge deck in the back as well as the hot tub! Great communication with property managers & hosts.

Beautiful thatched roof cottage
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!!!

Not recommended
We [family of 6, 3 adults, 3 kids (12, 10, 8)] recently traveled across all of Ireland. We had 3 nights booked at this home. Once arriving, we were instructed to park across the street, and to be careful crossing as its a busy street. That should have been our first red flag. We parked at the CEMETARY (2nd red flag), and entered the property. The grounds are quite lovely, not at all a place for a kids to play however. There is a running stream behind the property, and no safe guard to keep the kids from falling down the ravene. Watch your head when entering through the front door, its a low clearance. There are 2 bathrooms, one where there was no functioning light, and the other with a shower the perfect size for our young kids, maybe. There was very little to no space to put any of our luggage. The house is maxed out on decor, leaving no room to wiggle. We knew immediately that we would not be staying, as none of the kids were happy, and 2 of the adults were quite displeased. So we contacted the owner, William, and asked if we could receive a refund for 2 of the nights and our cleaning fee. He offered to return the cleaning fee and nothing else and requested we not leave a review. He has since opted to not reply to me. This home would offer a rural Ireland experience, and I would not recommend it for small kids. We left within an hour of arriving, and didnt let this one hiccup in our trip affect our plans.

Family trip to Ireland
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!

Cutest little Irish Cottage WITH HOT TUB
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!

Perfect Place for a Perfect Vacation
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.

My Irish Dream Came True!
I had been dreaming of staying at Cottage Mary Rose for a number of years. My Irish dream finally came true in time for us to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary at Cottage Mary Rose. The photos on the website could not express the rush of feelings I experienced as Mary and Mike took us through the cottage when we arrived on 31 August 2022. Those feelings were that I was home, that for the next 8 days I could experience what my Irish ancestors must have felt living their lives in the beautiful southwest of Ireland. I could write about the cottage being in a great location for daytrips by car to Killarney, Dingle, and Cork, or about the lovely gardens (especially the roses) and babbling creek surrounding the cottage, or the starlit nights spent in the hot tub toasting each other with "slainte is tainte". Before we knew it, it was time to leave Cordal for LaHinch. As we passed through the red door, and the red gate, for the last time, we knew how our ancestors must have felt when they left their Irish home for the last time, to head for a new home. But unlike those ancestors, we will be returning to our Irish home - Cottage Mary Rose.
