Summary: My group of 16 adults really enjoyed our stay at Dunkerron House and the home and property are really fantastic and the property manager is wonderful. There are a few things that could make this home really exceptional with just a little effort and money. Towel bars and shower/bath shelves or soap dishes are missing and as well as a shelf of some kind in the different bathrooms. The kitchen is quite nice, however, the stove and sink are separated by a counter that really makes for a lot of extra running. A second coffee maker in the kitchen is also a must for large groups and while it is pretty well equipped, there could be a few more utensil items. These right now are all minor things that don't hinder the stay, but their addition would really enhance an already excellent accommodation. The grounds are beautiful and the location (about 1.5 miles from Kenmare) are wonderful. The home manager is really good and willing to to do whatever she can to make your stay top notch. I would definitely not hesitate bringing a group back to this home.

Summary: Our group of 14 ages 17-85 had a fantastic time at Dunkerron House. Great location with accessibility to the Kenmare, the Beara, Dingle and Iveragh peninsulas as well as Kinsale. Kenmare is a charming little village with shopping, grocery stores and good restaurants just 10 minutes away. The property of Dunkerron is gorgeous with vibrant flowers, walking trails and an old castle ruin. Sandy was terrific with communications and helpful hints. Would highly recommend this as a home away from home!

Summary: Our family with 12 people really enjoyed this spacious home and property. All the amenities worked great, the home was comfortable, and the property, complete with castle ruins, was great to explore. We enjoyed walks down to the river and daily road trips to see the many surrounding attractions. Sandy the property manager was fabulous and provided wonderful hospitality. I only wish we had booked this for a longer stay!

Summary: This large 19th Century home which had been modernized over the years was a prefect setting for our family gathering of 10 adults and an infant. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. We loved the open fires in the living rooms and there was ample turf and wood to have a nice fire burning in the hearth whenever we wanted. The large formal dining room was perfect for our catered dinner (shout out to Truffle Honey!). The grounds are secluded and the 10 minute walk to the bay shore is just zen. Communications during our stay were excellent. Sandy was very responsive to the few requests we had. Our one minor disappointment was that the Games Room was under re-construction so was not available. Otherwise, Dunkerron House ticked all the boxes and was the perfect setting for our family gathering. Highly recommend!

Summary: We had a family trip with 9 adults and 4 children under 6. The home was very spacious and allowed enough bedrooms with en-suite baths to make everyone comfortable. We enjoyed our walks to the bay. This home is ideal for a large group

Summary: This property and home was absolutely spectacular. We felt like royalty. Sandy was phenomenal! So kind and helpful and available for anything we needed. I truly wish I could live here and never leave. The home is fantastic, huge and perfect for a large family. We joked about having my wedding here and if we weren’t from California I definitely would have wanted it here. Choose to stay here over anywhere else and you will thank me later.

Summary: We had a lovely stay at Dunkerron. The accommodations were beautiful, and we felt like royalty. The garden is spectacular with all the flowers in bloom. We had fires in the evening and enjoyed every room. The walk to the water is a good hike but nice to be able to enjoy the property. Sandy also said we could drive down if we wanted to take a picnic. Thanks for sharing the beautiful historic home with us!

Summary: My family of 14 gathered in Kenmare at this beautiful estate to share time where their dad was raised. The Dunkerron property was magnificent and we enjoyed walks, fireside gatherings, and exploring the beauty of Kerry together! Sandy, the property manager, was so helpful and informative. We can’t wait to return!

Summary: I saw this property on VRBO while searching for a holiday venue for a family of 15 who had not been altogether since July 2019. It seemed expensive & I was worried about mixed weather but I could not settle for anything less, having seen it. And it was worth every penny & the sun shone… & shone. The setting is breathtaking - with the pale moon rising above the blue mountain nightly, just for us. The house is spectacular & spacious, & the decor meant that even the 3 teenagers were keen to maintain high standards. A selection of the paintings was copied by the children- the pig in the kitchen being the most popular ! We swam in rivers, lakes & sea ( loved Derrynane). We ate at The Boathouse, the mobile Fish & Chip Bar, No35 & Poffs . We had meals on the terrace , including the barbecue. It wa a memorable week - a delayed 70th birthday combined with a 50th wedding anniversary celebrated daily, & we loved every minute! Thank you Moyà & Kathy. 💕☘️💕
