4-star waterfront hotel on a private beach in a Georgian manor house
Property & Grounds
Barrow House and Gardens is set on 2 acres of its own private beach, offering waterfront accommodation in a Georgian manor house. The property has a courtyard and a covered deck over the water, with outdoor dining areas and a picnic area for guests. Shared spaces include a communal library, a dining room, and a room with a screen projector for movie nights.
Rooms
The hotel has 8 bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities. Some rooms include views of the sea or the Slieve Mish Mountains, and certain rooms offer a private terrace. Room features include soundproofing, private entrances, and personalized decor such as the Puffin Room's Qing dynasty marriage bed.
Dining
A daily full Irish breakfast is served, with made-to-order hot options and a buffet of fresh bread, pastries, fruit salad, and local honeycomb. Breakfast can be served outdoors on the covered deck or in the large dining room where guests share a communal table. The house also offers a wine/champagne selection, packed lunches, and special diet menus upon request.
Activities
Guests can engage in on-site activities including themed dinner nights, cultural tours, cooking classes, and live music performances. The property offers bike rental, fishing, canoeing, horse riding, and hiking, with scenic trails for nature walks directly accessible. The nearby Tralee Golf Course, an Arnold Palmer-designed links course, is a 10-minute walk from the house.
Location
Barrow House is 13 km from Tralee town centre and 25 km from Kerry Airport. Kerry County Museum is 11 km away, and the Well of the Wethers is 5 km from the property. The location offers views of Barrow Bay and the Slieve Mish Mountains, with a private beach and walking distance to local attractions.

History: Georgian manor house with restored period details
“The restoration of this heritage property is truly remarkable, blending historical character with an elegant, fun design that feels just right. Its waterside setting offers stunning views, a peaceful backdrop complemented by the genuinely warm hospitality of the owner, Daragh. Evenings here possess a quiet sophistication, enhanced by thoughtful details like curated music and the absence of in-room televisions, encouraging a more relaxed pace.”
