A little bit noisy as it is ultimately a house near a major road but the host is great and location is very convenient if wanting to explore the west Ring of Kerry.

A wonderful room with gracious hosts in their home
Joan and her husband were very gracious hosts with Charlie, their dog. They shared their home with us and couldn’t be more helpful. We loved that there was a small fridge in the room, as well as two bed lamps.

After a long drive, the lovely owners greeted us with chocolate cake and tea. The B&B is located on the N71 so really convenient for the Wild Atlantic Way. We had room 3 and it was a bright, clean space. Breakfast was great with a good choice of cereals, fruit salad, yoghurt and cheese and a yummy cooked breakfast.

Great overnight on the Ring of Kerry
After a long drive, a relaxing evening in our enormous, quiet, comfortable room. Eamon’s apron says “King of Breakfast” and it’s true - he made us fabulous salmon and eggs, and served them along with his grand Irish chatm and wit.

Friendly people however the beds were extremely hard and they were trying to have breakfast ready when you came down, but sadly it was cold. Town is close by with a few restaurants and bars.

Response from joanie on 3 Oct 2018
Sorry about the breakfast, one of our hot plates went and we cannot get it fixed at the moment but I will do my best to make sure the breakfast is not cold for guest in future, we like to have it ready as near the time as possible and if guests do not come in time then it may get a little cold as most people do not like to be kept waiting and and are going for the Skelligs etc It is the first complaint about the beds being that hard, I will have to ask other Guests and see what they think before I go changing the beds can you tell me what room you were in, it is a pity you did not tell us before you left as we would be able to judge the room better, I do appreciate your feedback because if things are wrong it is the only way we can fix them, maybe it was the morning we had the power cut and you may have been a little late for breakfast, that has happened two or three times to us but we have no control over the power cuts.

Loved that the property is out of town...beautiful and quiet. Hosts Joan and Eamonn went out of their way to help in any way possible. Our Skellig eco-tour was cancelled due to weather, and Joan called to see if boats would go out the next day...helped me book online. Sent us off with bread, cheese, and fruit for our lunch. Comfortable bed, super breakfast!

Great hosts and location
Joan and Eamonn were excellent hosts. Joan found us a cancellation on a boat going to Skellig Michael, and Eamonn provided several suggestions of places to eat in town. My husband and I stayed three nights in room 4, which was very spacious and clean. Breakfasts were large and good. In addition to Skellig Michael, which was worth the 75 euros each, we visited the Kerry cliffs outside Portmagee, did the Bray Head loop hike on Valentia Island, and explored the stone forts across the inlet from Cahersiveen. The B&B is about 3km from town, but it is an easy drive. There are a number of eateries. We tried the pub at the Ring of Kerry Hotel (across from the largest grocery store in town), the Oratory Pizza and Wine Bar (great atmosphere and excellent thin crust pizza), and The Fertha pub (enjoyed a very good stir fry).

Good price and excellent hosts !
This B$B was excellent value for the money. Room was huge and clean, comfortable beds. The location was out of downtown area, so if you wanted to go back in you had to drive, but there was a lovely restaurant just two doors down. The absolute best thing were the hosts, so wonderful and they helped us book a last minute landing tour to skellig Michael, which we had been trying to do for months. Amazing breakfast too. Definitely recommend !!!
