Why We Do Things Differently
Here's something the big booking platforms don't want you to know.
When you book through them, we pay a hefty commission. Sometimes it's 15%, sometimes more. That money doesn't go towards making your stay better. It doesn't improve our holiday homes or help us stock the welcome basket with local treats.
It goes to a faceless corporation.
So Vanessa and I made a decision. Instead of handing that money over to the platforms, we'd rather pass those savings directly to you, the people who actually walk through our doors, enjoy our homes and explore this beautiful town of Kerry.
Real savings for real people: no gimmicks, no hidden catches.
The 15% Direct Booking Discount
This is our cornerstone offer, and it's available every single day of the year.
When you book your Kenmare accommodation directly with us: whether that's through our website, by email, or a quick phone call: you automatically save 15% compared to the prices listed on third-party platforms.
You're not just a booking reference number to us, when you come direct we can chat about what you actually need.
That conversation matters. And the 15% you save? That's our way of saying thanks for choosing to deal with us directly.
How It Works
Simply browse our holiday homes in Kenmare and get in touch. We'll send you a quote with the direct booking discount already applied.
No codes to remember. No hoops to jump through.
Last Minute Deals: Up to 50% Off
Life doesn't always go to plan. Sometimes the best trips are the spontaneous ones.
If you're flexible with dates and can travel within the next 14 days, we often have last minute availability at significantly reduced rates. We're talking savings of up to 50% on our self catering kenmare properties.
Why do we offer this?
Because an empty holiday home helps nobody. We'd much rather see a family enjoying the Ring of Kerry or a couple unwinding in Kenmare than have a beautiful property sitting vacant. Bonus you get a proper bargain in the process.
These deals aren't advertised publicly. They change constantly depending on what's available. The only way to find out is to drop us a message and ask what we've got coming up.
Best For
- Weekend escapes when you suddenly find yourself with free time
- Spontaneous road trips around the Wild Atlantic Way
- Anyone who's flexible and loves a good deal
Workation & Long-Stay Savings
The world of work has changed. We've seen it firsthand.
Over the past few years, more and more guests have arrived with laptops tucked under their arms, looking for somewhere peaceful to work remotely while enjoying everything Kenmare has to offer.
For stays of two weeks or longer, we offer special long-stay rates that make an extended visit genuinely affordable.
Why Kenmare Works for Remote Working
Our properties have reliable WiFi. The town has excellent coffee shops if you fancy a change of scenery. And when you close the laptop at 5pm, you're minutes from stunning beaches, mountain walks, and some of the best pubs in Ireland.
It's the opposite of working from a cramped city apartment.
If you're considering a longer stay: whether for work, a slow holiday, or something in between: have a look at our remote working page and get in touch for a personalised quote.
Group & Family Packages
Travelling with a crowd? This is where booking direct really shines.
The big platforms are designed for single-property bookings. But what happens when you've got three generations arriving for a family reunion? Or a group of friends wanting to celebrate a milestone birthday?
By contacting us directly, we can put together a package that makes sense for your specific group. Maybe that's two of our Ard Mullen properties side by side for a large family gathering. Perhaps it's a mix of our larger homes and the studio apartment for the couple who wants a bit of peace and quiet.
We are here to help whether thats from coordinating arrival times or arranging group discounts.
Perfect For
- Multi-generational family holidays
- Milestone celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, reunions)
- Walking or cycling groups
- Wedding parties needing accommodation near Kenmare
- Corporate retreats looking for something different
The key is to reach out early. Popular weeks fill up fast, especially during summer and bank holidays.
Pet-Friendly Options
We know dogs are family too.
Several of our properties welcome well-behaved four-legged guests at no extra charge. Kerry is a paradise for dogs: endless beaches, forest trails, and mountains to explore together.
Check out our pet-friendly holiday homes and let us know you're bringing your companion when you book.
How to Claim Your Savings
This is the easy part.
Step 1: Browse our kenmare accommodation options and find something that catches your eye.
Step 2: Get in touch with us directly. Email, phone, or the contact form on our website: whatever suits you.
Step 3: Tell us your dates, how many guests, and any special requirements.
Step 4: We'll send you a quote with your direct booking discount already applied.
That's it. No algorithms. No surge pricing. Just a straightforward conversation and a fair price.
A Note From Us
Growing up in hospitality taught us that the relationship between host and guest matters. It's not just a transaction. When someone chooses to stay in one of our homes, they're trusting us with their holiday, often the most precious weeks of their year.
These special offers aren't marketing gimmicks, they're our way of making sure that trust is rewarded.
We'd love to welcome you to Kenmare, and we'd love to save you some money in the process.
