The shepherd's hut at dusk in the hills of County Kerry

Killarney · Co. Kerry · Ireland

Nead Neamhaí

A shepherd's hut for two, set quietly in the Kerry countryside — the peace of rural Ireland, a short drive from Killarney town.

The Stay

A heavenly nest, made for slowing down

Nead Neamhaí means heavenly nest — and that is the whole of it. A single hut, two guests, and the long green quiet of the Kerry hills.

More than just a place to stay, it's a chance to escape the ordinary — the peace and beauty of the Irish countryside with the convenience of being close to town. Enjoy quiet mornings with views over the countryside, spend the day among the area's natural and historic sights, and return to your retreat in the evening.

Whether you're after a romantic getaway or a solo adventure, it's a place to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories. What it isn't made for is hurry.

Where you'll be

Quiet countryside, close to Killarney

In the countryside about 3km from the centre of Killarney — roughly a 5 minute drive — and within easy reach of Killarney National Park, the MacGillycuddy's Reeks, Muckross House, and the Ring of Kerry.

The exact location and arrival details are shared with confirmed guests. It's remote enough for true quiet, but never far from a good meal or a mountain walk.

"Sheree Anna's place was a super cozy spot for me and my partner's weekend getaway in Killarney. The place is quite private and quiet and has some amazing views of the local landscape. The loft had everything you'll need and it felt like a home!"

"The views from the loft of the Kerry mountains and the horses out the back of the kitchen made the loft extra special! Cosy, homey and very tidy. A 5 minute drive from town made this the perfect location. Would highly recommend the loft!"

"We had a lovely stay at Sheree's place. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was lovely to sit at the breakfast bar with a cuppa looking out at the mountains, and the horses in the field behind were super sweet!"
