history of
Barrow HousE
Sir Edward Denny was granted over 6000 acres of Munster
after the Desmond Rebellion.
After many generations, the land around Barrow
was leased to William Collis,
a Cromwellian Officer,
who married a member of the Denny family.
Barrow Harbour was the major port for the region,
servicing the monastic settlement of Ardfert
and the general area of Tralee.
A narrow entrance to the Harbour was protected
by Fenit Castle on Fenit Island.
The ruins of the castle still remain.
Along with restoring Barrow House, we are committed
to ensuring
the full history is documented and shared with all our visitors.
Golf
No visit to Ireland is complete without a round of golf
and our nearest neighbour is the venerable Tralee Golf Course,
a mere 2 minute drive away.
Barrow House is also located conveniently close to Ballybunion, Killarney,
Dooks, Dingle and the 18 holes of Waterville Links Course are
not to be missed.
Many of our guests choose Barrow House as their base for their golf tour
and schedule an unforgettable round of golf
at each of these
world famous courses.

Local area
Barrow House offers a wide range of complimentary
outdoor leisure activities
