Mansion House Rental, Ring of Kerry

A Victorian Mansion House often conjures up images of period features, antique furniture and large spacious rooms. Coolclogher House certainly lives up to this image but with the added benefits of modern heating and plumbing and comfortable king-size beds - an ideal requirement of any luxury rental property.

The hallway, guest bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms are large and beautifully appointed with wonderful views of the lakes and mountains. There are two lounge areas where guests can relax in front of log fires and read some of the many books and guides available. The richly decorated dining room leads through to a Victorian conservatory, built around a huge specimen camellia that is now more than 170 years old.

Tasteful antiques, quality Egyptian Cotton bedlinen and modern superking beds that can easily convert to twin beds are all features of Coolclogher's guest bedrooms. Each of the five main bedrooms in the mansion also benefit from the wonderful views in every direction and are flooded with natural light. With such comfort within and nature's bounty without you are assured of a truly restful nights sleep.

And in the morning you will awaken to the sound of bird song (no noisy traffic filled roads here), make your way downstairs to the charming country style kitchen and prepare breakfast as you like it and at a time to suit you! The mansions kitchen is equipped with every modern convenience and has a central rustic table and a charming wood burning stove with a couple of easy chairs at one end - just perfect for curling up and enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

For more formal dining the polished wood and rich colours of the mansion's dining room are ideal. Guests can then retire to the soft sofas and occasional chairs in the lounge or wander on the terrace just outside to take in the fresh air and wonderful views in every direction.

Although Coolclogher is undoubtedly a historic mansion house it is above all a home from home rental where the emphasis is on guests' comfort. It is the ideal rental property for anyone wishing to explore the real Kerry - unique, private and completely yours for a week at a time.
