The gardens in the immediate vicinity of the House includes several seats, benches and nooks and crannies to sit and watch the world go by. The planted beds and tree lined pathways provide a circuit to wander the gardens. The newly-planted cherry blossoms trees flank an avenue that has been revered by walkers and strollers since the gates were first opened. The towering rows of trees that climb above the boundary walls muffle the sounds of the town on the other side. As dusk approaches, roosting birds take over these same trees to signal the close of day.

It was quite busy, so took a little longer to get our food than it should have, but it was worth the wait. I enjoyed the Greek Salmon special and my husband enjoyed his burger.

The gardens, fields and meadows in the vicinity of Killarney House have always held a special allure for the people of Killarney. The looming house in the background was often taken for granted, especially during its unoccupied years. In the years that followed, Killarney House and Gardens fell into disrepair and neglect behind the high walls that encircled it.

Knockreer House now occupies the site of the original ‘Killarney House’ and continues to enjoy the marvellous elevated views of Lough Leane and the McGillycuddy Reeks. There is a second entrance from Mission Road beside the monument to Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty. Finally, you can access the House and Gardens via a gateway in the Knockreer area of Killarney National Park. All three entrances to the House and Gardens provide pedestrian access only and the gates are locked overnight.
Killarney House and Gardens is a treasure of the Killarney National Park that is located on the doorstep of Killarney town centre. The house and gardens offers a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the busy town. Its weaving pathways through carefully manicured gardens provide an oasis of calm.
Dinner,
You can start your adventure in the National Park from the grounds of the house as you head off for Knockreer or Ross Castle. If you’re taking the dog for a stroll or heading out on a run, where better to go? Even if you’re just using the route through the gardens to get to the other side of town, it’s a wonderful detour. As youngsters, we often played in the adjoining fields – never for a moment contemplating the beauty and history that surrounded us. Those same meadows were often used for football and soccer matches and athletic meetings for local schools and clubs. With the McGillycuddy Reeks and Lough Leane on one side and Killarney House on the other, it made for a special arena – a field of dreams of a different kind.

Much more than that, Killarney House is an ideal starting point for a journey exploring the wonders of Killarney National Park. The ‘Golden Gates’ that stand guard at the main entrance form a portal to the wonders of the National Park beyond. As you pass through these (black!) gates, the sounds of the town fade away and the magic of the Park begins to wash over you with each step you take. Over the intervening years, the McShain family used Killarney House as a summer home, and in their latter years as their primary residence. The family arranged for the property to be sold to the Irish state with a proviso that they would retain usage of the house and gardens for the rest of their lives.
Kids menu,
The relevant obscurity that befell the house and gardens was hard to comprehend given its proximity to Killarney town. In recent decades, the splendour of Killarney House & Gardens lay hidden behind high walls in one of the lesser visited parts of Killarney National Park. Although the grounds were always accessible, the house itself lay neglected and the surrounding gardens had long surrendered to the wild. The much loved Cherry Walk was a popular local pathway to the Knockreer area of the National Park.
In 2014, the house and gardens were closed to the public to enable the extensive reconstruction works to be completed. Finally in 2016, Killarney House and Gardens was re-opened to the public. Following the opening of the Gardens, the house itself opened to the public in July 2017. Harking back to its former glories, the House and Gardens have been firmly re-established as a favourite with locals and visitors alike.
Following the death of Mrs McShain in 1998, Killarney House became a welcome addition to Killarney National Park.

Killarney House and Gardens is the perfect place to while away an hour and get away from it all. It’s an ideal place to bring the kids for a wander around the gardens.

Guided tours of Killarney House take place every 30 minutes during the months of April to September. Killarney House is located just a few hundred metres from Killarney town centre. The entrance to Killarney House at the ‘Golden Gates’ is where Muckross Road, Countess Road and Kenmare Place meet at a small roundabout. The nearby Methodist Church is the closest landmark to the Golden Gates entrance.
