We were welcomed by Tom upon arrival and from then on he ,+ assistant staff at breakfast made us & other guests feel very welcome. Also provided knowledgeable advice on dining locally as in Kenmare as well as hiking nearby.

The place is very nice, and the hosts  are very welcoming and helpful.
We liked the room very much, as did the breakfast. The indications they gave us for our trip on the road were also excellent. My girlfriend and I strongly recommend this B&B.

We loved staying with Tom. Immediately upon arrival he asked us about our plans and then gave us a wealth of information about the area, best places to go. He even printed out items from his computer to help us - without being asked - he just did it to be helpful. Also, I had a small medical issue and Tom directed me to a doctor who was able to see me immediately and help me. Tom was just super. We'd definitely stay here again.
