Review 2:Absolutely nothing!

Review 3:Bridget was a perfect host. We enjoyed our stay with her... This is exactly what a bed and breakfast should be!!!!! Our best b&b in Ireland!

Review 4:Very nice B&B, great value, wonderful hostess, awesome breakfast. The bath after the long, long walk was very nice!!! If I could give this B&B 11 out of 10, I would have.

Review 5:if i could make one suggestion it would be for the breakfast room re some of the tables the leg room when seated your hitting off the legs its just a little thing which if changed would bring the overall review from a 9.6 to a big 10

Review 6:the warm wellcome, great sleep and a lovely breakfast that will keep you going while enjoying the great location.

Review 7:I would never again accept salmon and bacon together. I have no idea what prompted me to agree. Its either one or the other. But thanks anyway! :)

Review 8:I have never been to a B&B and just had to share my experience before. This was a perfect 10 in my book. I would come again. The location, the views, the WIFI, the food, the décor and selection of breakfast, and more importantly the service. Thanks Bridget, you were really kind and helpful during our one night stay.

Review 9:If you don't have a car it is a bit far from other locations but this is not a problem at all, if you are not going to try to walk to Killarney.

Review 10:The rooms are very clean, comfortable and cozy. The owner was a wonderful lady. She offered us tea although we arrived after 11 PM. Helped us finding our way. Prepared an amazing breakfast. And she was always there to make us feel home. Totally recommending this place!

Review 11:We were well looked after with tea and cake on arrival. A good location for the Ring of Kerry and Dingwall Peninsula,with spectacular ever changing views. Very warm and friendly with good parking.

Review 13:Beautiful, spotless, quiet, nice views. Bridget was very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was phenomenal. Super value for money!

Review 14:The toilet had a cleaner in it that pervaded the bedroom with its smell. The Duvets were too cheap and therefore made you too hot. And the clock had a loud tick. All these things are not conducive too a good nights sleep. Also there is nowhere in the bathroom to lay out your tooth brush, and toiletries, and the towel rail is too far from the shower

Review 16:Couldn't find any faults!

Review 17:The host; Bridget was very welcoming , hospitable , accommodating,and friendly,facilities were very comfortable and clean, breakfast was more than substantial !

Review 19:Host was nice and breakfast was good

Review 20:It is a very nice place to stay around the "Ring". Directions on Booking.com are a bit of the target, but if you follow the road signs you will not miss it. Our stay was excellent and we were very happy about it. The place is spotless and the owner is a great person. Close to a lot of attractions. Location is perfect with a view of Corrán Tuathail just outside of our window...
