Private Pub on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and close to Killarney (sleeps 10)

Ever dreamed of being the landlord of your very own Irish Pub? Well now you can…and what’s more this traditional Irish Pub is ideally located along Irelands Newest Iconic Trademark, the Wild Atlantic Way in the Village of Castlemaine, birthplace of the Wild Colonial Boy and where the Dingle Peninsula meets the Iveragh Peninsula. The scenery in this area has been described as ‘like stepping into a picture book’. Close to the Ring of Kerry and only a 15-20 minute drive to the bustling tourist town of Killarney this is the perfect base for exploring by day if you so wish while experiencing a slice of authentic Irish Village life! Oh…and did we mention its less than a ten minute drive to one of Irelands most famous beaches …Inch Beach…where an Inch is a mile! Stay here and you will never run out of places to see or things to do while in the evening coming back and relaxing in your very own Pub!

Called after Jack Duggan this Pub dates back to 1903 and walking into it you would you would think that you are entering typical traditional Irish Village Pub full of Character and Charm. In fact this Pub only closed its doors to the Public in 2017 and it has remained the same since. The only thing that has changed are the living quarters which have undergone an extensive refurbishment. A more comfortable, warm and cosy place to stay you will not find and that’s not including the Pub.

The accommodation includes the Bar with open fire, pool table, T.V.s and multiple games to choose from, a fully functioning separate kitchen, Kegs room with top of the range cooling system, a separate lounge room or chill out room as we like to call it with T.V. and fire, four double bedrooms and one twin room sleeping 10 people in total (cot and kids bed also available), two fully refurbished shower room, one fully refurbished bathroom and also a separate w.c.
This Pub is ideal for any family or group of friends who wish to spend some time together just getting away from it all or exploring the region. Also within a two hour drive from Jack Duggans Pub you will find 43 Golf Courses including many of Ireland's top 20 courses e.g., Killarney, Ballybunion, Tralee and Waterville making this also an ideal base for a Golf Trip. Or indeed for the climbing enthusiast we are within easy reach of the McGillycuddy reeks, Ireland highest mountain range…the possibilities are endless!

Castlemaine Village itself offers a local Store perfect to pick up your convenience items and and if you are tired after a long day why not stroll across the road to eat in Knightley’s Bar and Restaurant. We also recommend ordering your groceries online prior to arrival and getting them delivered by the local Supermarket saving much time and effort.

This property is owned by the Casey family who have been welcoming guests in their home in Killarney since 2011. Please check out Killarney Manor House for details and reviews. I am sure you will find you will be in good hands. We will be available throughout your stay to help you in any way possible from advice on local activities to arranging a trip for you, no matter is too big or small.

Visit us here at Jack Duggans Pub and you will be guaranteed to be greeted with a smile and the famous 'Cead Mile Failte' (a hundred thousand welcomes) of the Irish people!

Our stay in Jack Duggan's pub was so fun and comfortable for everyone! We wanted a small town experience close to adventures in Kilarney and Dingle, this place was the perfect solution. The convenience store just a block away was great for snacks, beer, and other conveniences. We had a great time connecting with local folks and the wonderful bartender at Griffen's pub, just down the street. The accommodations were clean, with plently of beds and 3 bathrooms. I highly recommend Jack Duggan's for an authentic Irish experience!

We had a fantastic time staying 5 nights at Jack Duggans Bar House. It’s a perfect location. We loved Inch Beach and the local restaurant Griffins, Killarney National Park and Dingle. The 20 something’s loved having their own bar & Keg. Wonderful time. Host was super.

This is a great place to stay for families and groups.

We loved staying at the Pub. The pool table was great and they had lots of games. It is a small town- one restaurant (it was not serving food), two bars and a gas station/grocery store. You have to be prepared to drive to Killarney or other towns for meals and sites.

Came to Castlemaine with family members of six, and had family from Abbeyfeale come down for some games and picture album viewing. It was the perfect location with lots of room for us to have a great time full of laughter and craic.

Located in a sleepy, quite town about 13 miles from Killarney National Park, my family and I enjoyed the amenities of the pub while lounging and recharging our batteries before moving onto the next phase of our holiday. Easy, scenic drive to park allowed us to stay out of the traffic and congestion surrounding Killarney. Would book again especially if we travel with another family as the property was roomy and comfortable.

Great location, unique rental

The property was exactly as described and perfect for our groups stay. It is convenient to Dingle peninsula and Ring of Kerry - the extra bonus was a separate dryer from the washing machine which was not common in other rentals! It was clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Would definitely come back!

This was a fun property for our family of 8. The property was clean and comfortable. The only downside was it was not near any activities or restaurants like we had thought it was. That was our fault for not researching more. It does get a bit noisy in the morning with all the traffic going by.

Jack Duggins Pub

Great Pub VRBO. My family couldn't believe we really had the entire pub! Snooker table a bit torn up and new cues are definitely needed but we still had fun. Plenty of room to spread out for the 9 of us. The beds were very comfortable.

Enjoyed a couple of days sightseeing

We stayed at jack duggan pub. It was clean, comfortable and spacious accommodation and really fun to have the bar. On a busy road so some traffic noise but with windows closed it was fine. The house is well stocked, our host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any queries. We went to the griffin for a nice pub dinner one night and the staff there were fabulous.

Great Find

We had a great time staying at Jack Duggan’s Pub — such a fun and unique spot! The town is quiet but in a great central location. There’s a market nearby if you need anything, and Griffin’s has awesome food and drinks. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were nicely updated. The wi-fi wasn't working when we arrived but Catriona fixed it within minutes of contacting her. It was such a fun experience having the pub all to ourselves. My boys are already talking about coming back someday with their friends!

Great time at the pub!

Very nice and clean property. Nice beds. Lots of room. Strong showers and modern bathrooms. Great location to sightseeing and several cute towns nearby with good food. Across the street from a nice little convenient store and a very good restaurant. The pub space on the first floor is a terrific gathering place. Washer and dryer and hairdryer were very much appreciated.
