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.

thank for comings to gormans,hope overall your stay was enjoyable,safe travel jim
The host and hostess were remarkably warm, welcoming and so very helpful. Our trip to Ireland would not have been the same without this stay. It’s a must if you’re in the area.
we had a problem with our trip due to a cancelled flight and the folks were so nice and accommodating. quick with a joke, clean and homey, would highly recommend staying here.

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.

in ireland health safety is clear to ever one ,no guests allowed not vacinated in property,this is govrment policy,this guy must have not heard of covid,
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.

Gorman's is a great B&B--the room was clean and comfortable, the host was exceptionally and genuinely friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was great.
Jim and Moira were great. Breakfast was good and they offered plenty of information on the area. Internet was a little slow at times but other than that our stay was great!
Excellent friendly host serving an excellent choice of breakfast varying to a simple continental breakfast to a full Irish breakfast. Jim offers advice on where to eat and what to see.
Jim met us with coffee and snacks upon checking in.
Main drawback was the weak wifi, 1Mbps
Jim and Moira are so great hosts, very welcoming and will do everything to help you and make you feel home. The place is very calm and the view on the Killarney mountains is very nice.
The room est very clean and everything is there, perfect. The breakfast is really really big and very good!
We enjoyed our stay very much and hope we will come back.
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 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!
Jim and Myora were wonderful hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jim's guidance to local and regional attractions was invaluable to the success of our enjoyment of the area.
Goede plek van waaruit de ring of Kerry of Dingle prima te bereiken is. Host gaf diverse goede tips hoe te rijden en waar te wandelen met beste uitzichtpunten. Gemoedelijk!

B&B condotto in modo amichevole da Jim, per 50 anni, che è un grande uomo ed eccellente parlatore. Per chi ama il contatto con le persone e chiude un occhio su alcuni aspetti della ricettività che oggi per molti contano di più. Le 4 stelle sono forse, oggi, 2019, un pochino troppe.

Preisleistungsverhältnis super! Wer keinen Luxus erwartet ist hier mehr als zufrieden. Jim und Moira Gorman sind sehr freundliche und herzliche Menschen. Jim hat sich so um mich gesorgt das ich das Gefühl hatte ich sei in einer Gastfamilie. Er hat mir viele Reisetipps gegeben und fast die Rolle eines guten Concierges übernommen.

Lovely B & B
Lovely small B & B
Rooms with own bathroom
Breakfast according to our wishes
The owner Marey and especially Jim had a lot of good recommendations for tours and trips
Only the location is estimated 5 km away from downtown and there is no restaurant or pub in walking distance

Jim ist ein wirklich netter Gastgeber und die Lage des Hauses ist sehr schön.
In nur ca 10 Minuten ist man in Killarney.
Uns hat es in der Region und bei den Gormans sehr gut gefallen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten. Myra haben wir leider nicht kennen gelernt weil sie zu dieser Zeit im Krankenhaus war.
Gute Besserung!
sehr nettes Ehepaar, gutes Zimmer, frisches riesieges Frühstück-man wird komplett umsorgt. Es liegt 5 km ausserhalb von der Stadt( vorrsicht Google gibt eine falsche Adresse an)ansonsten immer wieder sehr gerne! Gastgeber gibt viele Tipps zur Weiterreise!
very nice people who help wherever they can
give you vey helpful advince on travel plans
calm and idyllic location
I would immediately book this bed and breakfast place again
It was a great time at Gorman's House! Everything was perfect. Special thanks to the owner of the House Jim and Moira for taking care of us so nicely and courteous every time!
