Beaufort House is an attractive mid Georgian house situated just off the Ring of Kerry, five miles west of Killarney. Set in forty acres of woodland overlooking the River Laune, it is ideally placed for exploring the many attractions of Kerry.
The original building on the site was a short castle, so called because it was only two stories high, built by Captain O'Sullivan in 1641 and attacked by Cromwell's forces in 1654, the west wall being demolished. In about 1760 the present house was built, the remaining three walls of the castle forming the hallway. The interior was altered in 1830 and the chimneypieces and plasterwork date from this time.
Totally refurbished in recent years, it now offers four large double bedrooms, each with king-size beds convertible to twin (two single beds) and en suite bathroom.
Reception rooms include a drawing room, library and formal dining room.
Whilst offering peace and privacy, it should be noted that Beaufort is a family home with two children and two dogs.
Beaufort House is approved by the Irish Tourist Board. We are listed in the current editions of the Good Hotel Guide, Fodor's and Karen Brown's Guide.
In 1998 the 18th century stone courtyard was converted to provide additional accommodation in four superbly appointed cottages. These are four-star rated for self-catering by the Irish Tourist Board.
Between the main House and the four cottages we can accommodate any number from one to thirty people. This is ideal for families or groups of friends who wish to travel together but retain their independence.
Sleeps: 2 - 8 people
