Mary the owner and her employee Anna were awesome. The food was fantastic and Mary’s hospitality was top notch!

Barbara United States of America

This B. and B is in a good location. It’s walking distance to the downtown. A very good breakfast and friendly host.

James United States of America

We stayed in Kenmare on our Ireland vacation in July. The house is in a great location walking distance from everything in Kenmare town. Our room was spacious and very clean. The private car park was a huge bonus. The hostess was friendly and helpful in planning our stay here. We had a wonderful hot breakfast made to order in the mornings! We highly recommend staying here.

Denna United States of America

The owner was very caring, I teasingly called her "Mama" as she gave us helpful advice. The room was large and airy and clean. There was also a delightful dog who greets everyone with kisses.

Jane United States of America

Kenmare was a great little town. This location was perfect for exploring shops , restaurants and pubs in the area. There are so many beautiful sight seeing adventures near by as well. The host, Mary O'Brien, was delightful! The breakfast was perfect! Off street parking was a bit tight, but a welcome benefit!

Lynette United States of America

The breakfast was very generous and delicious and the server was very kind.

Juvenal United States of America

Location of the property, the delicious breakfast, close proximity to village laundromat, easy of parking at the Hawthorn, cleanness of room and modern bathroom facilities, and above all the kindness and sweetness of the hostess, Mary. She made the experience truly remarkable.

Rebecca United States of America

Wonderful country B&B. Not luxury, but very clean and homey. Owner couldn't have been more lovely! We were upgraded to a larger room at no extra cost. Maazing full fresh breakfast. Greta spot in town. AMAzing restaurant right next door to walk to where we had one of the best meals on our whole trip to Ireland. (the Lime Tree)

Convenient and nice breakfast. Offered muslei and porridge as well as full Irish breakfast.
