Rooms are individually decorated with a lovely country house style. The rooms all have en suite showers, satellite TVs and tea/coffee making facilities. Irons, hairdryers and telephones are also provided and free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

Great rooms, on the ground floor, were so comfortable. Staff were happy to accommodate requests, and provide vegan options at breakfast and dinner. Super comfortable chairs and sofa in suites. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the Jacuzzi bath was a great, luxury addition. Maura, the other reception staff and the breakfast staff made us feel welcome and appreciated, and were happy to accommodate our requests. The Ivy Lounge has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff there were professional and efficient, and attentive without being fussy. Our party included 1 vegan, and we tried most items on the menu during our stay. All our choices were very good. Will definitely recommend to friends and would love to stay there again.

11/10. Cannot recommend this place enough. Teresa, the host, is thoughtful, knowledgable and courteous. She made our two night stay absolutely wonderful. When we arrived, she gave us directions to all the best places to eat and check out. She gave us a map with all the best locations and made she we understood how to navigate Killarney. Teresa's house is a gorgeous and cozy house on top of a hill. While the outside is reminiscent of times past, the inside is modern with a cottage feel. The beds were comfortable, warm and conducive to a great night rest. The showers were hot and plenty of adequate towels around. I also cannot overstate how amazing the view was as well; overlooking all of Killarney. It was absolutely stunning. The breakfast was SOOOO CUTE!!! The little strawberry cozies for egg's made our hearts melt. The breakfast was very filling as well. My partner and I are big eaters and we were stuffed long before we finished everything infront of us. One thing that stood out for us is she tried to talk my partner and I out of a dangerous bike and hike we had planned! Which, all things consider, we should've listened to her warnings, cause it was just about outside of our comfort zone. When she couldn't talk us out of it, she made sure to check on us when we returned to make sure we survived our adventure. That made us feel cared for. I hope after reading this review, you see the picture I am tried to paint of an amazing bed and breakfast. Teresa went above and beyond to make sure we felt cared for and relax in our short stay in Killarney. Anyone would be lucky to have the honour of staying at her BnB. Thanks for everything Teresa :) Mia and Bryce

We booked that accommodation because it was very close to Gleaneagle INEC Arena but we didn’t realise that centre of the town was close enough too. Just 5 mins driving or 25 mins walking.
