| 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 is now available for
holiday rentals. It 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 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.
For 2007 we are pleased to offer the Orchard Cottage,
details of which can be found on the Cottages

We are pleased to announce the launch of Distinguished
Ancestors, a business dealing in authentic 18th and 19th century
oil portraits. Details can be found on our website - www.distinguishedancestors.com
