"O'Donnabhain's Pub Hotel, very clean and well-kept, the feeling of sleeping in a pub is charming. Super friendly staff: even though we arrived at 9 PM (after check-in hours), they let us eat even though it was closing time."

"Excellent stay!"

"This B&B was a great find after traveling all day and stumbled across. Very reasonable, comfortable and inviting and also included a wonderful breakfast! The owner was very nice and informative how to stroll to the city center and which route to drive when leaving."

"We had a wonderful three-night midweek stay at luxurious Park Hotel in Kenmare in April 2026. After a very long journey due to the fuel protests, we were relieved to finally arrive in Kenmare. We chose to stay at the Park Hotel because we love Kenmare and have enjoyed many delicious meals at the hotel over the years. We had always wanted to stay at the hotel and our recent trip definitely exceeded our expectations. The Park Hotel really is a stunning hotel, perfectly located in the centre of Kenmare, yet it somehow retains a peaceful countryside feel, tucked away within expansive, mature grounds that are tranquil and beautiful. On arrival, our welcome was mighty! We were all exhausted after the journey down, but Jonathan, one of the hotel porters, greeted us very warmly, coming out to meet us in the car park. His gentle manner and sharp wit made an immediate good impression. He effortlessly guided and assisted us into the hotel, which was exactly what we needed after the long trip. We enjoyed chatting to Jonathan again during his Art Tour of the hotel. His knowledge and detail was impressive as was his love of the art in the hotel. Our check in was smooth and efficient. We were offered a welcome drink and shown to our room in no time. The hotel itself is light filled with stunning modern artwork throughout. It is a joy to simply walk through the space. Theaster Gates was a new discovery for us, and we greatly admired his work in the reception and lobby. We also loved discovering all the art in the building and enjoyed the hidden installation in the main reception area! We were fortunate to stay in a spacious, stylish and thoughtfully designed balcony room with superb views over the grounds and Kenmare Bay. It was so wonderful to wake up to the view of the gardens and across the bay. The room was perfectly clean (and we are fussy). The personal touches in the room were noteworthy and we all appreciated having the small snacks etc. I have some back issues and found the mattress a little too soft. However, after mentioning it to Grace, the fantastic manager at the Park, the issue was addressed immediately and without hesitation. She followed up with us during our stay, which we really appreciated and assisted with organising other aspects of our trip which made a big difference to our stay. The hotel itself is so central that we found it easy to go for walks around the town and truly appreciate the area. It was great not having to use the car! Breakfast each morning was delicious, with plenty of choice, served in a beautiful bright setting, surrounded by art. Afternoon tea was also very enjoyable—especially the cream cake on the Wednesday! There are lots of quiet corners to sit and just appreciate the art and relax. The staff were all attentive without being intrusive. We had dinner in the Landline, which was also good although a slightly wider menu selection would have been better for longer stays. The level of hospitality at the Park sets"
