We tried to stay at all different bnb's on our trip ...this was our farmhouse one. It's a nice place.very clean ... wonderful owner very nice lady. It's not your usual bnb ...more like your own room and bathroom in your aunt's house ... living room to match. Very authentic and enjoyable. Very near ring of Kerry and a short drive from town.

Heaven on earth.
The view from our window was so gorgeous that we didn’t want to close the curtains to get some sleep (sunlight until about 10:00 pm in Ireland at this time of year)!! Our stay here was a highlight of our driving trip around this magical country.

Loved the farmhouse. So unique and green and just beautiful in a very peaceful setting. Sheila was a wonderful hostess. Loved talking with her. Bed was comfortable and I loved the homemade breakfast. Also loved walking around the farmhouse up to the top of the hill for spectacular views of the village. Saw sheep and was impressed this was a working farm! Wished we could have stayed longer.

Lovely host, breakfast, and location
It felt like we were being welcomed back home upon arrival. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, sheets were a bit shy though. Less than 5 minute drive to town (Kenmare). Fresh breakfast both full Irish and half in addition to a small sideboard. Pillows a tad flat but that isn't unique; comfortable mattress with blackout curtains and we were able to sleep just fine. Be forewarned if you haven't read the fine-print: bring cash. Your CC is only used to book the place. Oh, and the wi-fi pretty much won't work if you're at the end of the hall like we were, so you'll have to take yourself to the lounge they have.

Nice B&B but....
We stayed here for 1 night during our travels in Ireland and found it to be comfortable and quiet, but we wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer. The B&B is in a great location with respect to exploring Kenmare and the surrounding areas. Although it sits on a busy road the traffic noise wasn't an issue whatsoever for us as our room was on the backside of the house, away from the road. Sheila the hostess was welcoming, very friendly, pleasant and lovely to talk with. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and fully functional but the furnishings were quite tired and dated. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The unacceptable issue we had with this B&B was in relation to the bath towels provided.....they smelled so badly of sheep manure that it was repulsive to both of us and we couldn't use them.....and consequently it made us question the overall cleanliness of the B&B as a whole.

A lovely farmhouse stay.
Sheila is a delightful hostess: it's a bit like staying with your favourite (great) aunt - depending on your age! The house is a 4 km drive from the nearest town, but beautifully peaceful and quiet. Our room was and our bed was comfortable; the breakfast abundant and very well presented and cooked. A real taste of rural Ireland, in every sense, and very handy for the beautiful Brera peninsula: the Brera Ring is just as beautiful as the Ring of Kerry - but has no coaches!

Rooms tired and not value for money
Windows in the room did not close / lock properly. Shower small and shower head nonexistent. Room was cold at night. Light curtains. Blankets rather than duvets. You need to drive into town, too far to walk. Paid the same price in other b&bs for better room quality.

Beautiful landscapes. The owner Sheila is lovely.
The area of this B&B was fabulous. For us having a farming stay made it all more interesting. Walked up to the area to the cows and goats and even watched the owners grandsons feeding the animals. You are not far for driving back into Kenmare for food, shopping and even a glass of beer or wine. Great location to get onto the Ring of Kerry. Just a good location from the hustle and craziness of a larger city. Would return.
