About this property

Farran House - Groups of 6 - 16

This is a large, elegant 18th century, Italianate style, Irish manor house situated in the rolling hills of the Lee valley, overlooking the medieval castle and abbey of Kilcrea.
Farran house is spectacularly set in 12 acres of mature beech woodland and landscaped gardens. The owners, John & Patricia have carried out a mammoth restoration job and the result is a luxurious, charming manor house, full of character. They opened their doors to rental guests in 1997 and haven't looked back since.
The elegant interior is full surprises. Hanging with old paintings and engravings there are exquisite antique kelims. There are interesting antique furnishings throughout the house, including a 1903 Bechstein grand piano in the drawing room and a full size billiard table in the billiard room.
All main house guest rooms have large bathrooms and beautiful views over the surrounding countryside.
It is a perfect base for exploring counties Cork and Kerry. It is situated 9 miles from Blarney, 38 miles from Killarney and 10 miles from Cork city and airport.

Trip of a lifetime
From first entering the private drive of Farran House you feel instantly transported to a different place and time. The property is breathtaking and the house is stunning. John and Patricia were terrific hosts and extremely accessible. We traveled in a family group from Massachusetts with our 2.5 yr old son whom described the house as “the most beautiful house he’s ever seen”. We spent much time walking the idyllic enchanting property looking for ‘fairies and leprechauns’ as it felt that magical. We hope to visit again soon!

A Beautiful Holiday
Farran House is simply just an amazing place to stay. Set in stunning grounds, the house is spacious and extremely well equipped. Every room is appointed beautifully, with lovely antique furniture and ornaments. The kitchen is very much the heart of the house and has everything anyone would need in terms of equipment. We had sing songs round the piano and evenings playing snooker in the games room. The bedrooms are filled with natural light and have huge ensuite bathrooms. The gardens are breathtaking and full of wildlife - we saw rabbits and red squirrels all over the place. The children absolutely loved the space and got so see newly born lambs and any number of secret dens that they found. Location wise, Farran is well-placed for sight-seeing and getting to all the main attractions County Cork has to offer. Last but by no means least, Patricia and John were wonderful hosts and very attentive to our needs. In short, Farran House was a huge part of an idyllic family holiday. I would recommend very strongly to any family looking to have a wonderful holiday in Ireland.
