Stayed with my mum for a 5 day break to visit the gap of dunloe and other walking spots, location for the gap was very good with amazong views of the mountains from the b&b and a great pub just over a 5min walk, we came slightly before season so unfortunately 2nights of our 4 the pub wasn't serving food so John the host ever so kindly dropped us to another nearby restaurant called the golden nugget, huuuge portions of food and fairly priced also is in sync with the days that Kate Kearney doesn't do food so worked out well. About 8min car ride to killarney and would suggest if doing this frequently then to hire a car as we ended paying a few taxis 20 to 25 euro each way! Min of 45 euro in a taxi from Kerry airport which is 25mins but cheaper if getting the bus to killarney bus depot 5euro each and then taxi from there! The b&b is remote for purpose of being situated for the gap walk so be aware of this and stock up if needing supplies beforehand. John and Nora are lovely hosts with a wide knowledge of the area and willing to help out and are around for any questions or concerns. Breakfast is served in a lovely decorated room with hot croissants and contential choices to start the day. John also does the jaunting car ride with 1 of his own horses called Nelly for 60 euro (for 2) great experience and def recommended for the gap as it is a strenuous walk if on foot, we walked from a point to lord Brandon's cottage which was sadly not as anticipated nore of a grab and go place but again maybe was due to being out of season and if honest maybe not worth the walk again it's just as beautiful walking to the point of the black valley and returning to kates cottage for hot food options and live music which is a great vibe! The walk back from Brandon's took 2hrs 34mins and was very steep and tough going so be prepared. Thank you John and Nora l, myself and Wendy thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you :)

This was easily the most beautiful and luxurious room that my partner had stayed in on our travels in Ireland. Easily nicer than rooms at Parknasilla which were 6X the price. I have absolutely no issue recommending this B&B to anyone passing through.

I’ve been to many bed-and-breakfasts all over the world, and this is the first time I’ve seen one that doesn’t serve a proper breakfast. You get a paper bag with fruit, bread, yogurt and a choice of tea or INSTANT COFFEE. Hot coffee is a minimum for many people in the morning, so let’s hope they spring for a Nespresso machine at the very least!

Near Killarney, beautiful house, close to Gap of Dunloe. Large spacious and clean rooms. Average breakfast: continental breakfast. It is a pity that the coffee served is soluble coffee!

A small family cottage. The host is very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, probably because of Corona, the breakfast is a bit, how should you put it, impersonal. Every room receives a bag with the breakfast utensils in the morning. Everything packed. The fruit was packaged freshly cut. There was no question about eggs etc. Otherwise rich. The room is beautiful, facing west so you can see the Donne going down every night. All in all recommendable.

The structure is very charming, an isolated B&B in the Gap of Dunloe area, however a 10-minute drive from Killarney and can be reached without problems with Google Maps. In the evening when we returned from dinner we always found two deer roaming in the fields attached to the structure. The owner is very kind and available to give advice for the overnight stay. The room a little dated and not very clean especially the linen which was stained both in the bed and in the bathroom, French bed. Good breakfast with not a huge choice of products given the very small number of rooms.

We stayed there for 2 nights The place lacks charm and the rooms are located on the side of the road The reception is totally impersonal and lacks empathy: we did not see the owner (nor anyone else) afterwards. The room is not heated and the bathroom is not functional The "breakfast" comes in a paper bag, which you collect in the morning at the entrance (no coffee or tea and vacuum-packed and inedible lurkers) Very far from standard: a scam

Beautiful house with magnificent garden and great view of Mount Stricken, located on the Dunloe gap road The room was not very large and due to covid the breakfasts are taken in the rooms what a shame we lose the friendliness of the beds and breakfast

We found this place in the evening but had some problems, but after a phone call from the local Nora drove to town to meet us and take us back. She and her husband John were very congenial and down to earth. The breakfast was excellent (thank you John!). The next morning John took us on a horse and buggy ride to the Gap of Dunloe. We loved this modern and clean B&B!
