Luxury & Comfort By Lakes Of Killarney - ideal for large families or groups

We are back after a bit of a break and are offering our beautiful architecturally built home to guests for summer 2026!

The house is within walking distance to the National Park and 5 minutes drive from Killarney town centre. It has been finished to a very high standard, is spacious, bright and warm and, despite being a large house, retains a cosy atmosphere. Although it is quite modern, the house has a country classic look which makes it very comfortable. There is underfloor heating throughout giving a constant temperature all year round. The large windows make the whole house very bright and allow guests to enjoy the wonderful garden and it’s private setting even from indoors.

The 5 bedrooms each have a unique style and feel and the living spaces are spacious and have many areas for guests to enjoy.

On offer to our guests are:

Living:

Entrance Hall- spacious and welcoming with it's beautiful curved staircase and gallery,

Kitchen/Dining Room - open plan, with everything for the amateur chef including a 7 ring gas stove with three ovens and a large handmade dining table made from reclaimed wood, easily seating 8-10 people and looking out across the entire back garden.

Living Room - open to the kitchen, this is a large, high ceilinged room, with an L-shaped couch, Smart TV and a beautiful gas stove to cosy up the evenings. Our 6ft Pool table makes for a fun game for all ages.

For your convenience, the final clean as well as all utilities are covered in the rates.

Though quiet and rural, in an area of Ireland famed for the beauty of its mountains and lakes, the house is also close to all the amenities of the bustling town of Killarney.

The ideal retreat for families, golfers, hikers and bikers, cyclists, adventurers, fishermen, artists and of course anyone interested in history, culture and music and general good Irish craic!

We look forward to welcoming you to the Kingdom of Kerry soon!

Heavenly House in Killarney

Our group of family and friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scartlea and we hope to return again soon! Fiona was an inviting host and she responded to our questions and needs promptly. The spacious house was beautifully appointed and the kitchen had everything the gourmet cooks in the group needed. And, it was a great location ~ five minutes from town in a quiet neighborhood. We highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful home, even better than we thought. Plenty of space for 9 of us and more, spacious kitchen for gathering but enough space for time on your own as well. Easy to find and the check in process was simple. Very thoughtful owners. Thank you, Scartlea House. We will be back!

Great place for families

After a week traveling around Ireland, the Scartlea House was a great resting place for a group of 6 adults and two children. The large back garden was a perfect place to stretch and play and the house is close to everything in Killarney and the Ring of Kerry. Beautiful, clean place!

Beautiful home!

We were a multi-generational group visiting from the US, and this house was perfect for 9 adults, and 2 small children. There is a well-stocked kitchen, playroom with toys, and a wonderful outdoor playhouse and swing set. The house is close to town, and to the park, so the location is perfect. The owners were very helpful with recommendations for dining and activities. All of the appliances were in good working order, the beds very comfortable, and the bathrooms were in excellent working order, with good water pressure, & generous numbers of towels for each person. The photos of this house are an honest representation, but I would say that the house is more lovely in person, with skylights and windows everywhere.

Comfortable large home

The house and garden are beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Everything was clean and there were clear written instructions given on the use of the house as well as ideas and information on places to visit nearby. The fresh scones were an especially nice touch. The only things lacking were shampoo, a hair dryer (we really needed one) and power adapters/converters.

Visit Killarney in style

This is my second time staying in this gorgeous home. Both times we were a party of 8 and the house was more than adequate to comfortably accommodate us all. The location was great for all the day trips we did. Hope to return again and have recommended it to friends for next summer. It was perfect for our weeks stay in the Killarney area.

Great house in a great location

Lovely house, as well as beautiful grounds. Lots of room so that even with a large group you won't get into each other's way. The large kitchen table is great for sitting down to breakfast together or playing games in the evening. The kitchen is well equipped and it's very convenient to have a washer and dryer just off the kitchen. We had two cars and there is ample space for parking. The location was very good, close to Kilarney town and to Kilarney National Park, with easy access to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle pennisula. The most difficult thing was finding the house the first time. While Fiona's directions were very good, I recommend also entering the house GPS coordinates into your phone or using Waze to find it.

Spacious and Clean

Beautiful house and property. Spacious and clean. All the amenities you need with the notable exception of functioning Wi-Fi. FYI: Cellular service is nonexistent inside the residence therefore the lack of Wi-Fi in the residence was a daily inconvenience. Two Wi-Fi networks in the house, but both with little to no connection. Otherwise the home and property was great!

We had an amazing stay at this property. The pictures do not do the property justice! Large home on a large and beautiful piece of property near Killarney.

Awesome family stay in Killarney!

Thanks to Fiona and Rod Stewart for sharing their gorgeous home with us! We were two couples and four 20-somethings for 3 nights in Killarney in the middle of our Ireland adventure. The home was truly a luxury accommodation with plenty of room for everyone to spread out, both inside and out. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were well appointed with all the amenities you'd expect. The kitchen and patio were both perfect for big dinners at home and the large farm table saw many hours of family time. The home was in a quiet area that allowed for true relaxation while still be close to town and all the fun. The taxi companies all knew where to find us when we told them we were staying at Scartlea House. We had a great time and would love to come back and spend more time in the Killarney area, there's still so much we didn't see.

Perfect Vacation Spot

This is a lovely, well-appointed, and well maintained house close to many of the top holiday destinations in County Kerry. Perfect for a group of friends or a family gathering, the house is very comfortable and, while in a fairly rural (beautiful!) location, is very convenient for shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return.

A dream rental

We stayed in Scartlea House in late June 2017. It was a tremendous experience. Every member of our party and those that visited us were impressed by the attention to detail. From the tremendous space of the house, to the beautiful backyard to everything provided from ample cutlery to towels to scones upon our arrival to the manual that explains all the amenities to the TV room with the projector, everything was top class. My daughter without being prompted filled in the guest book saying how much she loved the house. We plan on coming back to Scartlea on a future trip. Fiona and Rod have a gem of a house and we would highly recommend
