Great communication with the hosts. Easy check in and check out. A lovely B&B with lots of charm.

Geoff Canada

Nice and quiet yet not far from town. Fantastic breakfast and wonderful friendly staff. First time traveler and if in the area again, will definitely be on my list.

Kalena United States of America

Super hard working and friendly staff. Breakfast was the best we’ve had in Ireland! Our bed was made up with freshly air-dried and ironed sheets; what a treat! House is old and creaky (300 years old!), with lots of history and a nice sitting room on the main floor. We met and chatted with other guests at the inn, which was nice.

Tanya Canada

Beautiful views- sweet lambs outside our window in the morning. Peaceful. Beds very comfortable, shower nice. Delicious breakfast and very friendly staff. Loved relaxing in the family room reading and listening to the rain.0 Easy parking. Nearby pubs were fun.

Judie United States of America

The rooms were spacious and the location was perfect for our Killarney and Dingle day trips. The staff was very sweet and welcoming. They gave us recommendations every morning :) The breakfast was excellent. There were many options and every day it was as delightful as always. Very accommodating to gluten free needs (They made sure they had GF sausage, black & white pudding, porridge and toast available to us). Absolutely no issue with parking, there's enough space for everyone.

Coral United States of America

Lovely location, clean, nice welcome at the end of the day, and walking distance to 2 nice pubs for supper.

Carol Canada

Absolutely charming house, clean, comfortable, private bathroom, very friendly staff, fresh breakfast, a very short walk from pubs, cows and a massive bull calmly grazing away on the property, I’d 100% stay there again!

Francesca Canada

Mary was especially welcoming and friendly and breakfast was exceptional—especially the homemade scones. Room was comfortable and everything clean.

Thomas United States of America

We liked that it was a small community near many of the things we wanted to see. It was quiet and Mary did everything she could to make us comfortable and gave us good information about local sights. Breakfast was excellent, too.

Clara United States of America
