Herlihy's Half Way House is 15 km from Killarney. This former pub has been reimagined as a cosy living space, yet retains all the memorabilia and ambience of a traditional Irish country pub. Herlihy’s Bar ceased trading as a licensed premises in 2017. Since then bar and ancillary areas have been re-commissioned as wheelchair friendly self-catering accommodation, suitable for two-four adults. The Bar Counter is now home to a bespoke fitted kitchen, featuring all “mod cons” and the Bar-Floor area has been transformed into living/dining space. This area contains up-cycled bar furniture to provide a quirky dining space. The cosy living area features a fireplace, sofa-bed, television, coffee tables, dresser etc. The entire “Pub” is decorated with bar memorabilia collected by three generations of female publicans (Marie, the current proprietor, her mother and grandmother) over a period of 105 years! In contrast with the Traditional Bar Ambiance, the remainder of the unit is ultramodern and encompasses, an entrance hallway, a double bedroom, bathroom and utilty room.
Marie is a professional archaeologist, with a deep love of Ireland's rich and varied culture and heritage. She was the recipient of the 2015 Kerry Heritage Award. Marie is editor of The Kerry Magazine and current president of the Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society. When the opportunity presents itself, Marie loves to travel, and has a keen interest in interior design, fashion and gardening. In 2016 she inherited the family business a traditional country pub, which has been in the family for 105 years. Once a publican Marie strove to marry the family tradition with her love of all things Irish. Therefore over a 10 year period she organised many themed events in the pub including crossroads dancing, rambling houses, Seanachai (traditional Storytelling) evening and Trad Sessions. Marie continues to live in the building and is happy to engage with guests and offer advice on what to see and do in the Kerry. She has a family of five cats, who can be guaranteed to socialise with her guests should the opportunity arise.
The magnificent Irish coastline of West Kerry, the Wild Atlasntic Way and Dingle are accessible by car in 30 minutes. Farranfore is also the ideal point of departure for a trip around the Ring of Kerry. The Counties many golf courses (Killarney, Killorglin, Dooks, Barrow, Castleisland and Ballybunnion) are easily accessible from Farranfore. For those just wanting to get away from it all, there are some lovely rural roads to be explored in the vicinity of the village. Herlihy's Bar provides the ideal base for those wishing to experience the natural beauty of Killarney, with its spectacular mountain and lake scenery. The town itself is picturesque and offers an exhaustive selection of bars, hotels, restaurants and shopping experiences. Tralee the County Town is world renowned as home to the Rose of Tralee International Festival. It is also home to our national Folk Theatre, Siamsa Tíre. The town also boasts an aquadome and wetlands. Kerry's County Museum is to be found in Tralee town centre. Whilst on the outskirts of the town is Manor Shopping Centre. Castleisland a traditional Irish market town and Killorglin (home to Puck Fair) are both just down the road from Farrranfore.
