“Really friendly owner, she was a brilliant host. The breakfast was delicious. I really love my coffe in the morning and I am an early riser, unfortunately there was no coffee facility in the room or downstairs but this is really a minor problem....”

“Absolutely gorgeous place, stunning location, super comfortable and quiet room. My favorite place during my 9 day trip in Ireland. The only downside is that you’re not in walking distance from anything, but frankly that’s also a bit of its charm.”

“Beautiful location with both mountains and a creek. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Best place we stayed at during the entire trip.”
Carle

“We had planned to explore the ring of Kerry and did not want to deal with the crowds and buses in Killarney. Kenmare was a perfect base for traveling the Ring and a great town for dining and shopping. But our best decision was booking two nights...”
