• dev (10/5): -
• Thien Duy (10/5): Would come back again! - Beautiful home and very kind host. Very comfortable room and breakfast service was amazing! It was great all around! Not a complaint but it’s 10 mins away from the nearest town so that may be inconvenient to some.
• Louise (10/5): Warm, friendly and extremely comfortable. - Beautiful home, wonderful host, very comfortable bed and a fabulous hot shower.

• Miriam (10/5): Friendly and professional - Fantastic host. Friendly and helpful Nothing. Loved it
• Alan (9/5): Very comfortable - Great location Nothing

• michael (9/5): Very nice -
• Nora (10/5): Fabulous property and hostess is a pure delight! Wonderful breakfast!! - It is a beautiful property tucked away in the countryside
• Lucia (8/5): - El desayuno era muy completo. Eileen fue muy amable, nos dio varios tips sobre la ruta que estábamos haciendo. Entraba mucha luz en la mañana a través de las cortinas.
• SEVESTRE (10/5): -
• Kare (8/5): - Fleksibilitet og service svært bra. Frokosten bra, nydelig stor hage. Vanskelig å finne uten eircode, manglende en suite, små rom

• Anne (9/5): -
• Maria (10/5): 😇 - Super schönes und gepflegtes Haus mit sehr sauberen Zimmern. Ellen war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sehr Hundefreundlich 🐶🤍 Nichts!
• Greer (10/5): - The host upon arriving was extremely friendly and helpful offering a hot cuppa and the house was home from home excellent warm and very comfortable clean bedroom and bathroom
• Eduard (10/5): - Sehr netter Host und sehr gutes Frühstück. Hervoragend als Unterkunft für den Ring of Kerry sonst sehr im nirgendwo. Süßer Hund begrüßt einen direkt wenn man ankommt.
• Lesley (10/5): - Very comfy bed, excellent shower and good breakfast. Nothing really.
• Tonny (7/5): Rent og indbydende - og langt ude på landet - Hyggeligt og indbydende. Rigtig gode senge. Fik en god snak med andre gæster til morgenmaden, og det er man faktisk "tvunget" til på grund af indretningen af spiseområdet. Ligger skønt i naturen, men også ret langt fra alle seværdighederne. Hvis du ønsker privatliv om morgenen (i forbindelse med morgenmaden), så er stedet nok ikke for dig. Der var ret lydt fra andre værelser. Det var træls, at der skulle afregnes i kontanter på stedet.
• Jean-Marie (10/5): - La gentillesse de notre hôte, la propreté et le confort.

• Guest (10/5): Warm and inviting home, host was above and beyond what I expected. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay - Lovely home/owner and incredible location. Was given great recommendations for hikes in the area, all within 20min of the house. Amenities were good and the food was even better. Plan on returning to finish out some trails in the area.
• Klaudia (10/5): -
• Ylenia (10/5): Soggiorno fantastico! - Struttura bellissima, luminosa e accogliente. Posizione fantastica per diverse escursioni (noi siamo stati a Carrantuohill e Gap of Dunloe/Killarney National Park, tutti a pochi minuti di strada). Camera spaziosa e letto comodissimo! Colazione ben curata, bella la tavolata unica così da poter scambiare due parole con gli altri ospiti. Eileen gentilissima!
• Margaret (10/5): Roadie around Ireland - Great night stay after a busy day driving. Quiet and relaxing Having to leave
• Ilka (9/5): - Die Unterkunft war für uns super gelegen - Dingel und der Nationalpark sind mit dem Auto schnell zu erreichen. Die Aussicht vom Haus ist traumhaft. In der Nähe ist ein Dorf mit ein paar Restaurants und Bars. Zum Frühstück gab es eine gute Auswahl und es hat immer geschmeckt. Wer mag kann sich mit anderen Gästen am Frühstückstisch unterhalten. Es war sehr ruhig und man konnte gut schlafen.
• Emilia (8/5): - Eilin gentilissima ed accogliente, colazione super Camera piccola con bagno privato ma esterno alla camera
• RR (9/5): Comfortable and clean - Spotlessly clean I was concerned as Ive been hiking and had mud on my shoes- the whole place was in white. A drawback of the otherwise very positive experience is that they wanted payment in cash

• Melissa (8/5): Very good - From the moment we stepped into the house, it felt luxurious and immaculately clean. We were especially impressed by the spaciousness of our room and the convenience of having a private bathroom. The linens smelled wonderfully fresh and stayed that way even into the second night. On the first day, we noticed mold on one of the toasts, and on the second day, a jar of spoiled milk was served. That said, the tea and the rest of the breakfast were enjoyable.

The room was lovely, and there's a nice living room with a sofa and TV to spend time in if you want. The host was helpful and friendly. Overall very happy and can highly recommend. All good, nothing to dislike.

• Finbar (8/5): Very good - Lovely location and even more lovely host. Very helpful guide to the area and wonderful accommodation. Bonus points for the dog and cat
• Neo (10/5): A cosy, homely and unique experience in the Irish countryside! - Eileen was an excellent host who provided us with maps, advice, good conversation and even asked our route when we planned to treck Carrauntoohil just in-case we got lost which I appreciated plenty. In addition, the building was fresh and the animals around were kind. Perhaps temporary, but there was a large gathering of crows roosting in a tree outside who did not like to keep quiet in the early morning!
• Jason (10/5): Peaceful bliss in a luxury setting. Outstanding. - I liked everything. Especially the peace at night. Anyone from a city will really appreciate the absolute dead silence at night. It is a wonderful experience to just pop out at night into complete silence. I love this place so much. The host Eileen is the most kind and polite and caring host I’ve ever stayed with. It was an absolute pleasure. Top notch breakfast too.
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - Owners took us in last minute as we had a reservation all the way out in Portmagee, but the weather at the time proved that to be unsafe for us to stay. House is on beautiful property, get to see the sun rise as we drove away

We had a very good breakfast with excellent service. the location of the bnb is very good for visiting several famous places of the ring of Kerry. I highly recommend it Nothing to signal
• Richard (8/5): Very good - Host was wonderful and warm with great energy. Nice breakfast in the morning. Beautiful grounds. Very clean. Bathroom was a Ross the hall and no TV in bedroom. All tile created an environment where noise carried so people coming and going was noisy. Cash only but not clear when booking.
• Mary (10/5): Exceptional -
• Margaret (10/5): Super comfy accommodation in a really peaceful location. - We had a fantastic stay with Eileen in her wonderful B&B, she is a brilliant host, so friendly nd welcoming, from the min we arrived. Her home is so cosy, well decorated nd stylish, from the super comfy bed to her plentiful breakfast the following morning. I would highly recommend this B&B. That we were only staying one night.

• Cross (5/5): Passable -
• Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - Great full Irish breakfast and a common breakfast table that all guests share, great for a conversation and exchange of experience. Out host was very nice and had recommendations for Dinner.
• Ray (10/5): Fandabbydozy (Special) - The location was just wonderful! This area is representative of the romantic vision I carry from my childhood memories growing up in Ireland. Our culture is alive and well throughout the country and we are very fortunate to still have it to share! My advice is to get there early enough to spend an hour and take a stroll in daylight. There is a beautiful grotto with the Virgin Mary left out the gate and then right at the crossing and walk in total 10 mins to it. Whether you are religious or not you will surely be glad walked there. Walk facing oncoming traffic while on a country road and you will be safe. Also out the gate to the right you can walk for a couple of Kilometers past farms. You might meet Bailey the brown lab just up the road if she barks tell her “ go to bed Bailey“ shes all bark:) Gypsy the dog here at the Farmstead made my visit here extra special following my car down the road as I left prompting me to pull over for a second goodbye. Whatever you do mnake sure to visit “The Bianconi“ for lunch or dinner( always best to drive back before dark if you’re new to Irish country roads. Town is 10 minute drive and a lovely town to spend an hour or two. Beatiful bridge over a gorgeous big river. I know I am long winded but I do it for you:) Say hello to Eileen and her Mother Eileen who I had the pleasure to meet next door. Cows are next door in the evening for a photo Op:) Leaving
• Vania (7/5): Enjoyable. - Comfortable and good value. They only take payment in cash and this wasn’t made sufficiently clear when booking. Getting cash in euros is expensive with my bank. It should be clear in the description.
• Marcin (10/5): Great place to stay while visiting Kerry Ring. - Very nice and warm host. Great localisation - close to mountains, in the middle of Kerry Ring. Crystal clean room. Tasty and freshly prepared breakfast. Highly recommended B&B location. Thank you :-) All was perfect
• Aline (10/5): Amazing! We spent a great weekend in this BNB. The host is very kind, helpful, lovely. Thanks again! -
• Heike (9/5): Very homely feel at the b & b. - The host, Eileen was very friendly, kind helpful & informative.
• Mary (8/5): Very pleasant experience. I will definitely be back. - Really beautiful accommodation, very clean and modern design. Great rain shower too in a really lovely bathroom. Warm welcome from the host Eileen. Would have liked more fresh fruit and juices and variety of cereals and milks for breakfast, however, cooked breakfast was lovely.
• Robert (9/5): Superb -
• Ivan (9/5): Lovely stay with stunning scenery - Eileen is an amazing lady. When I arrived I got a very warm welcome. My bed was very comfy, the bathroom situated opposite my room was lovely. The next morning Eileen served a tasty Irish breakfast. I've stayed for a very short period, but really enjoyed my stay. Couldn't recommend it enough . The room could be equipped with a TV. This is not a complaining, suggestion perhaps.
• Kenneth (2/5): Poor b&b - This was a cash transfer, which was not good for a business trip.
• Barry (10/5): Exceptional - Traditional Irish B&B, simply exceptional and a kind reminder to book more B&B's in future.
