I only stayed one night but room was comfortable and clean enough. Bit old fasioned but what you would expect from a farmhouse. Would have appreciated more toiletrues in the room due to restructions in hand luggage on flights these days. Also i dudnt have time for breakfast as its not served till 8am and i needed to leave early for my drive back to dublin

Beautiful and quiet farm with the hills behind and a very short walk to the pub for a meal and a pint. Great breakfast but most amazing was the cows in pasture in the front on the property. Very friendly staff ( and cows) and beautiful comfortable room.

Solo trip in Ireland.
The location was great - walking distance to the restaurant and was very quiet. The owner let me check in early so I could do some work and gave some great tips on things to do. The bed was a bit uncomfortable and funky eggs for breakfast but overall a decent stay.

What a quaint little place. The location near the Ring of Kerry was convenient but definitely away from town (which we were fine with). Breakfast was nice and they were accommodating because we were hoping to get an early start. They were good about getting back to us through texting. It is an older B&B but just what we needed.

No Warm and Friendly Staff
We arrived at 6pm. The property note states that there was no reception desk, the proprietor would meet us at the location. When we arrived we rang the doorbell no one answered the door. The door was unlocked so we entered and called out for assistance. After 20 minutes a lovely elderly woman greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. I confirmed our name and was handed a key. I inquired about payment and the woman literally waived her hand at me to brush me off. We brought in our luggage and left to see the local sights. The next morning at 930am a completely different woman knocked on my door demanding to settle up the bill stating she had someplace to be. I was confused as to why I no one was available to payment upon check in, but no big deal. The woman instructed me to fill out a webform on a laptop and disappeared. Transaction completed, I went back to my room. Check out on the website and literature in the room stated 11am. Another woman knocked on the door at 10:45am asking us to vacate the room because the cleaning staff was ready. I’m not sure why they would have a listed check out time of 11, if they expected the cleaning staff to start earlier. The room was fine, the property its self was fine. The staff were absent and rude. I would not recommend this property to anyone seeking an Irish Country experience. It was very clear that they wanted us to leave asap.

What a beautiful setting and house. The main room was spacious enough for the three of us to get around without bumping into one another. We heard the cows in the front pasture as soon as we awoke, but they did not wake us. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of choices. We enjoyed talking to people at the table next to us and hearing about their adventures at our next destination. The bathroom could use shelves for dop bags, tooth brushes and such. The hosts were friendly but not overly so. We would stay here again if we were in the area.
