We had a wonderful stay at Birchwood! Tom was a perfect host....great conversationalist....and the breakfasts were superb! He made the best French toast I've ever eaten! It's a lovely home with awesome views and close to Kenmare, Killarney National Park, etc. Great location! Our only minor complaint was that the bathroom in our room was quite small. I would recommend Birchwood to anyone! Thanks Tom!!

We loved our stay at Birchwood. Tom was a gracious host, so helpful with recommendations! Our rooms were lovely and the view out the window is peaceful and pastoral. Maureen was loads of fun at breakfast, which was delicious. My husband enjoyed the smoked mackerel all three mornings. We would definitely stay here again!

Tom is beautiful, kind and considerate host. He provided us with a very wholesome breakfast and even gave me the recipe for his beautiful brown bread. The house is beautiful and has great character. It is in a great location, close to the town of Kenmare.
