The welcoming front of Doon Cottage, your authentic Irish heritage experience
Experience Authentic Irish Heritage
Doon Cottage offers a rare opportunity to experience authentic Irish cottage life in one of Kerry’s most beautiful settings. This isn’t just accommodation – it’s a chance to step into a piece of living Irish history. It is a lovingly restored traditional Irish cottage that combines authentic Irish charm with modern amenities to provide you with an unforgettable stay.
Our Passion for Irish Country Living
As avid hikers and nature lovers, we’re passionate about the Irish outdoors. Sharing Doon Cottage with guests who appreciate authentic Irish country living brings us joy. This isn’t a typical rental cottage - we live here ourselves, which is why it’s furnished as a real home rather than the bare-bones setup of many rental properties. It’s our home, and guests are welcome to be part of it. We love knowing that others can experience the magic of waking up to birdsong, watching Pat and Tim graze peacefully, and having direct access to some of Ireland’s most beautiful walking trails. While we respect our guests’ privacy through self-check-in, we take great pleasure in sharing our local knowledge through our detailed house manual and personal recommendations.
