“Misty Bay is set on a gorgeous piece of property. It is very clean and well maintained. We stayed 3 nights. We were quite busy seeing the sights of the Ring, Dingle and the whole area so we were not there much. It was a bit further out than we thought. Nice kitchenette to use but we were very disappointed that the washer and dryer were not for guest use. Maybe we missed that in the Expedia write up but though pictured it is not available. Lovely setting though.”
“First the plusses: incredibly friendly and helpful host, delicious cooked-to-order breakfast (included), with homemade bread, beautiful and bucolic setting on an active farm about 2 miles outside Kenmare - loved the sheep sounds.

“The grounds are incredibly beautiful. Its right on the water with beautiful falls flowing through the property. The hotel is well maintained. There is a free shuttle to Kenmare which is only a few min away. The town of Kenmare was so quaint with great restaurants and pubs.

“Very clean room and helpful staff. Small room and bathroom with not enough room to place our large suitcase or bathroom potions. We did choose a cozy room at an economical price but our friends also commented on their cruise-sized bathroom. Another shelf for toiletries would’ve been helpful and a suitcase stand instead of a chair. Lobby and bar area are lovely and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.”
“An incredible experience and one of the most beautiful areas I have ever had the privilege to be in. This hotel has been run by the same family since the 1930s and their dedication to hospitality shines through. The food in the restaurant is extraordinary and is prepared with love. You will enjoy the grounds, the bar, the sitting room and everything about Gougane Barra.”
