    Nothing everything was great

    Great spot, our second time staying. Very clean and quiet. 600 metres from Kate Kearneys cottage at the bottom of Dungloe. Lovely food and good staff. John had a brilliant variety for continental breakfast even offering pancakes! Would highly recommend only 18 mins out of the buzzing Kilarney.

    Nice room, clean an comfortable. We saw the Horse Jimy from our room. Enchanting Garden, with Banks where you can seat when the Sun comes out. Rich Breakfast with Pancakes. John is very gentle and gave us good tipps where to eat for dinner, and also indication for the walks around. Very close to the Gap of Dunloe. We enjoyed our stay!

    The en-suite bath was not the best design. Everything gets wet when you shower because there is no enclosure/curtain and the fixtures need to be repaired.

    Excellent location with a clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast.

    Nothing. This was the perfect stay for us.

    The breakfast was us was perfect - light and healthy. The property is extremely well appointed in a quiet position. The Gap of Dunloe is a stunning bit of scenery and if you get up early you can drive up the pass without getting in the way of anyone (you should not do this later, please). I photograph birds and got a pic of a pine marten which is a rare sighting anywhere in Ireland.

    The bed was labeled a king but it was more of a double, probably my error as I expected a North American king

    Super cute and rural experience while being a 10 minute drive from down town Killarney. Just down the road from the Gap of dunloe and Killarney national park.

    Literally nothing, this was by far the best B&B experience I’ve ever had. We don’t have a single complaint or suggestion!

    The continental breakfast was well done and had a nice variety of options. The quality of everything at this B&B was excellent - the linens and towels, the dish ware, the finishings… so much care has gone into the presentation and it really shows. John was so kind to my husband and I, even giving advice for where I might go to see a doctor as I was struggling with an ear and sinus infection. The jaunting cart ride was an incredible experience, made even better by John’s knowledge of the area and his horse Jamie’s fantastic demeanor. We felt so at home in this peaceful B&B.
