Bridget and Conor were wonderful hosts. They have a beautiful property. Quiet and a great location being a few minutes drive from Killarney. Our room was very comfortable as was the bed with its fine linens and soft pillows. Breakfast was delicious with lots of variety and locally sourced food - including their own preserves and honey. There were two large common rooms on the main floor for lounging. We will definitely stay here for several nights if we are ever in Ireland 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
