Killeen House – Killarney County Kerry

A charming country house hotel, dedicated to the golfer, and situated on the outskirts of Killarney Town. The hotel has 23 en-suite bedrooms, complete with modern amenities, including 8 larger championship rooms and 15 standard rooms, 2 of which are singles.
The restaurant is renowned for good food. The hotel has a golf-themed bar and club storage area. Horse riding and fishing can be undertaken nearby.

Killeen House Hotel is an excellent choice of accommodation for the avid golfer visiting the Killarney region and playing the great courses of the southwest. Built in 1838 as a rectory for Archdeacon Nathienal Forester, before becoming the charming hotel that is today, the Killeen House saw service as a farmhouse, a dower house, an old folks home and a maternity home.

The word Killeen, by the way, is a common enough Irish place name and surname and literally means a “site of a holy place”. The owners, Geraldine and Michael Rosney acquired the Killen House Hotel in 1992 and have transformed it into an unrivalled golfer’s haven.
