Kenmare House | Stoneybrough: A luxury townhouse offering exceptional hospitality for 6/7 guests

4 Bedroom House in Kenmare

Almost Heaven.
This gracious, award-winning Kenmare townhouse is tucked away in the heart of the village. The secluded location is perfect. Instead of driving into Kenmare for a daily visit, you’re already there. Everythingβ€”groceries, pubs, restaurants, entertainment, shops, churchesβ€”are close at hand.
No searching around town for a parking spot.
You walk everywhere.
You don’t feel like a visitor.
You’ll live like locals.
Nestled in a copse of eleven white birch trees, Stoneybrough contains 1540 square feet of living area, complete with a full length deck overlooking the River Finnehy, and a fine garden between. You’ll discover an ancient, beautifully designed drystone bridge, known as the Cromwell Bridge, in full view of this highly acclaimed property. A carefully tended Druid stone circle, predating Stonehenge by 2000 years, is around the corner and up toward the end of Market Street, a pleasant ten minute walk rewarded with quiet moments contemplating the ancient stonework and the hardy folk who built it.
Stoneybrough boasts solid Burmese teak woodwork, wall to wall hotel grade wool carpeting throughout, beveled glass French doors and other design and decorating touches you'll find nowhere else.
Guests enjoy blazing fast Starlink WiFi (Download 154; Upload 57 Mbps) along with Sky TV in the lounge, dining room, and the master suite as well. A Bluetooth-enabled stereo radio/CD player with a variety of mostly Irish musicβ€”to put you in the moodβ€” is on the bar next to the kitchen. Play your own favorite playlists, but we challenge you to put on β€œGalway Girl” by The Kilkenny Boys and not sing along!
Stoneybrough is now fitted with a Gen2 Alexa device for information and entertainment.
Two sculptured marble fireplaces provide warmth and comfort, one with a classic Liscannor stone hearth. You'll enjoy pressured showers and powerful built-in hair dryers. A state of the art Apple iMAC computer, free WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen and private off street parking round out the amenities. For a second car, a free public car park is found just across the footbridge.
Looking forward to a night on the town? With sufficient notice, we can arrange for a responsible baby sitter for you.
Stoneybrough furnishes locally made, all natural non-allergenic guest soaps and luxurious robes for all our guests. The cook will find everything needed, right down to alderwood planks for those freshly caught salmon filets on the grill and a DeLonghi cappuccino/espresso machine for your pleasant, tranquil mornings on the deck.
Stoneybrough is not an investment property rented and operated by an impersonal management company. Rather, it’s our second home, managed by us with the help of Joanne, our amazing housekeeper. We believe Stoneybrough strikes the perfect balance between upscale luxury and personalized, carefree service that promotes enjoyment, relaxation and genuine satisfaction, knowing you’ve made the right choice.
Befitting the honor of achieving VRBO/Homeaway’s coveted β€œPremier Partner” level, we proudly feature premium Boll and Branch linens on every bed, and luxurious Merino lambswool-filled pillows in the Master Suite. At Stoneybrough, you’ll find American comforts you’d expect, but with an Irish accent.
Along with carefully chosen period art and antiques, you'll notice a decorative battle sword mounted on a wall opposite the kitchen, and a genuine Irish drum called a boudran'. These symbolize the great paradox of Irish civilization: their fierce, warlike history melded with their fun-loving, lively and charming musical traditions.
A two-minute stroll takes you to the heart of downtown, with the finest restaurants, pubs, two five star hotels, live music, and busy shops and galleries for which Kenmare is justly famous. The five-star Park and Sheen Falls hotels provide fine cuisine as well, along with luxurious spa experiences judged by Fodor's as the best in Europe.
Kenmare Golf Club, with beautiful views of Kenmare Bay, is only a short walk away. The Ring of Kerry course overlooking Kenmare Bay and the majestic mountains beyond is only a ten-minute drive.
You'll also find Kenmare centrally located for many of the finest golfing experiences in Ireland: the Ballybunion, Waterville, Beaufort, Dooks, Glengariff, Old Head, Tralee and Killarney courses are all within reasonable driving distances.
Kenmare rests astride The Wild Atlantic Way, at the foot of the Ring of Kerry, the most popular travel destination in Ireland. There you'll find breathtaking scenery, stone age ring forts, many unforgettable stops and the striking 6th century monastic site on the island of Skellig Michael, (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The island hosted the final scenes in Star Wars VII, when Rae delivers the lost light saber to a brooding Luke Skywalker, and now, a more extensive exposure to the island in Star Wars VIII. A stunning place just an hour away from Stoneybrough. You can even visit a long string of pre-historic fossilized tetrapod tracks on nearby Valencia Island.
A full day exploring the Ring, another on the wild and less-traveled Beara Peninsula, and still another spent on the equally spectacular Dingle Peninsula (Ryan's Daughter and Far And Away were filmed there) will leave you with the most indelible experiences and memories imaginable.
By special arrangement, a private tour guide can customize the perfect day trips to meet your requirements, and our housekeeper, Joanne, is on call to provide flawless concierge-level service throughout your stay.
Returning home, you might whip up a gourmet dinner served on Ralph Lauren Wedgwood china, with the freshest locally sourced ingredients from Roger O'Sullivan's butcher shop and the delightful small grocery just across the cobbled street from Stoneybrough. Feast on local grass fed beef, or fresh Kerry lamb, seasoned and garnished with rosemary picked from your own garden. Or indulge yourself with savory alderwood-grilled Atlantic salmon caught just offshore, with fresh dill from the deck planter.
Or not! Take in an evening of fine dining, fun, music and entertainment at any of the amazing pubs and gourmet restaurants just a five minute walk away. There you’ll enjoy the freshest salmon, shrimp, whitefish, cod, and bay mussels, a local delicacy, in every bowl of steamy, creamy Kenmare seafood chowder. And try the grass-fed beef, venison, Kerry lamb, and the traditional colcannon potato dish with a bit of rich Kerry Gold butter. Delicious!
Then, after an evening of fine food, drink and entertainment, stroll home under the stars, and fall asleep to the enchanting music of the River Finnehy.

Summary: We stayed here for 2 weeks and everything was perfect. This was the cleanest rental that we’ve ever stayed in. Well stocked kitchen, quality bed linens,and beautifully decorated. Best location in Kenmare. Great view of the creek from the balcony. I highly recommend this beautiful place!
Dan and Melissa B. Dec 3, 2024 08:46:05 AM
Summary: John showered us with information and was ever so helpful on our road trip from Dublin to Kenmare. Joanne was a delight - we had a wonderful welcome to the property. The property was just awesome, cozy like a warm hug. The location to shops/eating was great. We came the end of November, the weather was not so great, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the heck out of Kenmare. I always tell people you can't take a bad picture in Ireland. Miss it already!
Brandon T. Oct 22, 2024 10:44:08 PM
Summary: This home is extremely convenient and walkable to Kenmare. It is right on a lovely river. Owner was extremely helpful and easy to work with. This is a great place to stay.
Nicole M. Sep 23, 2024 10:51:16 PM
Summary: An amazing, peaceful location in a town that makes you want to return.
Jean M. Sep 2, 2024 07:40:02 PM
Summary: This was our favorite stay during our trip to Ireland. The location was very nice, but it was the quality of the house that stood out. A lovely welcome with some food items, thick robes in the bedroom, the outdoor space overlooking the stream were among the things that added up to make this our favorite. We were a group of family -- three single retired women and a couple, and we appreciated the room to spread out.
Martha K. Aug 15, 2024 11:46:19 PM
Summary: Lovely home in Kenmare, down a quiet side lane but just steps from all the great restaurants and shops in town. The sound of the river right outside the windows is so soothing. We appreciated all the extras that made us feel welcome, including some basic groceries and snacks, wine and chocolate. The owner provided lots of helpful tips about the area. Really above and beyond hospitality! 100% recommend.
Louis A. Jul 1, 2024 08:09:53 PM
Summary: This is a wonderful house that has a lot of character. It has everything you need. It is easy to stay at the house all day, either inside or on the patio overlooking the river. Very nice and peaceful. Short walk to town that is classic Ireland with two Michelin star restaurants, shopping, sightseeing and plenty of pubs. Good place to take tours from.
Patricia J. Jun 23, 2024 02:23:25 AM
Summary: Great location in a beautiful setting by the river. The property manager did a warm welcome and explained operation of everything and was available for any questions. Far above any ordinary rental property and we would return anytime we are in the area.
Steven K. Dec 6, 2023 07:01:07 AM
Summary: We spent a week at Stoneybrough, this idyllic home on the bank of the Finnihy River and located just around the corner from the main square of Kenmare. We weren’t planning on a week, but a hurricane arrived, and we had to change our plans quickly. The owner was incredibly responsive in accommodating our needs, and in every other form of support, for that matter. He was a wealth of knowledge and advice about local sights, restaurants, shops, golf destinations, etc. The house is furnished as a real home, with comfort and convenience outfitted everywhere. Being a couple who enjoy cooking in when we can, we especially appreciated the fully-equipped kitchen set up to be truly functional β€” even the kitchen knives are sharp! The view out the windows of the river running by is both soothing and romantic (except perhaps when a hurricane is visiting), and the house location at the end of a short lane is perfect for being in the middle of town in two minutes yet still being secluded from village activities when at home. We’ve traveled a lot, and this was the best home-stay experience we’ve ever had.
Oct 26, 2023 09:52:52 PM
Summary: Great home, location, and town. Everything near by: Restaurants, pubs, beautiful scenery. Great base of operations for day trips around Kerry and SW Cork. The house was comfortable, welcoming, and the perfect place for our family of 5 (all adult children)
