The Harp

Big comfortable room, the owner was friendly, large bathroom, quiet location.

Breakfast was nice, but only option was toast / marmalades / cheese / fruit and cereal.

The house and room are impeccably kept, the decor is charming and the bed is very comfortable. The location off Muckross Road is ideal, the town centre only a short drive and the park within walking distance.

When I made the reservation I was convinced breakfast was included in the rate. When my kids and I showed up in the breakfast area after our first night, Joan advised that it's room only. In hindsight breakfast is not mentioned in my reservation. This took me off guard but took it in my stride and the kids and I had breakfast in Tralee. However on the second morning the enticing smell of toast and freshly brewed coffee lured me out of the room and to my surprise I could see a couple having breakfast in the breakfast area while having a chat with the host. Perhaps they were friends / family? I don't know but this made me feel somewhat uncomfortable. The "deluxe family room" in which my two children and I stayed in had a large double bed and a single bed as advertised. I would have loved a little more space to move around though, the room felt cramped and lacked storage or a desk perhaps. I can't see more than 2 adults in the room without tripping over each other. While i understand the current climate of energy costs and limited housing, overall at a room-only rate of Eur 120 per night, seemingly inconsistent rules around breakfast and a cramped family room, this was poor value for money. I wouldn't pay more than Eur 80 for the package.

Fantastic hostess, super comfortable, awesome location!
