    This guesthouse is a very newly renovated townhouse on the heart of Kenmare. The rooms are spacious, clean and provided everything we need. We especially liked the local product (soaps, coffee etc.) throughout our stay. The breakfast is very rich and you get a lot of choices. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating, and helped us out with some tips around the area as it is a great location to explore Kerry. 100% recommended!

    Amazing location with super welcoming hosts. Quirky guesthouse in Kenmare with comfortable, cosy, en-suite bedrooms. Great facilities including some little extras that show great attention to detail and ensure nothing is missed! Fab selection on the breakfast menu with some gorgeous fresh fruit & pastries followed by a deliciously booked breakfast! We had such a great stay and wish we could have stayed an extra night! 10\10!
