Jim was friendly and gave us very good advice re our excursions. Breakfast menu had several choices. Beds were comfortable. Lots of parking on the property. Convenient location to Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula, as well as Killarney National Park. No one was there when we arrived during check-in hours, so we had to wait 15 minutes. The room and bathroom were very small and the shower was weak. WiFi had been upgraded and worked well.

After driving down from galway and spending the morning in killarney we went to the property to check in. We had booked to stay in a room with a double bed. We were shown to our room to discover two single beds pushed together with what looked like the grand canyon between them and told he had no more double beds despite no one else having checked into the property by this stage. He showed us around the room and dining room before asking to see our covid certs. Having not being fully vaccinated by that time he informed us we would not be allowed to stay and had this confirmed by his wife shouting through the bedroom door. Nowhere on the properties website did it state we had to be fully vaccinated to stay nor did we recieve a phone call or email informing us of this fact which would have been a courtesy. Having been the friday of the august bank holiday it left little option of finding alternative accommodation in killarney or indeed kenmare, tralee and dingle. With little option we decided to spend the weekend in limerick having left killarney extremely disappointed. I would wholeheartedly not recommended this property to anyone.

Lovely host and hostess and a very comfortable room. Jim and Moira certainly know the area and the local weather. Take their advice. Really good breakfasts. Super view from our window. Well placed for the Dingle peninsula, the Ring of Kerry and the Beara peninsula. A great base for this part of the Wild Atlantic Way.

We were dropped off by taxi.We arrived there before 3pm.There was a note on the door to say they would be be away until 4:30..we were left waiting for 1.5 hours sitting on two chairs outside the house beside a very busy road.We were lucky it was not raining. With this treatment of guests in a fully booked b&B,I could not understand how a person was not available to let guests into the house.I would not recommend this b&B.

A lovely little B&B
A delightful little B&B run by the warm and wonderful Jim and Moira, who cooked us delicious breakfasts each morning, helped us plan our itinerary each day to explore the beautiful sites and countryside, gave excellent recommendations on where to eat and drink (e.g. The Grand pub for great live traditional music and Mac's for delicious desserts) and even gave us a lift into town a couple of times. Thank you both for a wonderful weekend. We love Killarney!
