    Really nice and clean room in a lovely b&b. Owner was so welcoming and friendly and provided us with a gorgeous breakfast in the morning. Such a reasonable price for the service too, which is rare to find these days.

    We were welcome by our host with a friendly smile and the offer of a cup of tea. The property was a lovely spacious house, with good size en-suite bedrooms, the breakfast was excellent, everything you could wish for and cooked to order. We really enjoyed our stay at The White House which was within walking distance of the town with many nice restaurants and pubs many with live music.

    Nothing bad to say at all!

    We absolutely loved our stay with Patricia! Beautiful house with newly renovated rooms and very comfortable beds. Patricia was such a wonderful welcoming host. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Just a short, easy walk out of the town centre. And kenmare itself is a beautiful little town.

    Honestly there was nothing we didn’t like. Maybe a full length mirror in bedroom would be nice but that feels picky. There is no tea/coffee in the room but as we had free access to the kitchen that wasn’t really a problem for us

    A very friendly welcome, Patricia was so helpful and suggestions about places to visit really enhanced our experience of the area. Our room with a view was beautiful and our breakfast was excellent. We would definitely recommend

    It can be a bit tricky exiting to the road with the car but that is just how it is on Irish roads. It gets easier with practice though.

    The hostess, Patricia, is a delight. She is totally focused on the guest satisfaction aspect and is energetic and friendly/helpful. The breakfasts were personalized and delicious. It is a 10 minute walk to Kenmare downtown and restaurants. The home is updated to modern standards yet maintains it's charm. Parking was easy for us. After a month on the road this was a top level experience.

    You can fell Patricia’s passion and warmth from the very first steps into her house. She welcomed and cared about us splendidly, working restlessly to ensure us a nice stay. Rooms are clean, well mantained and very comfortable and breakfast is lovely. The location is little more than 10 minutes by walk from Kenmare center, where you can enjoy traditional food and live music. Wish we could have stayed longer!

    Had an amazing time visiting Ireland for a week, spent 6 nights at the White House B&B - Patricia was an amazing host! So attentive and accommodating, and always offering ideas and advice on the area! Breakfast choice between full Irish or pancakes was brilliant! Room plenty big, very comfy bed! Would love to stay here again if visiting the area! Felt very well looked after, lots of amenities and guests very friendly! Plenty of options for eating out in Kenmare too, never had an issue not booking a table.

    Perfect location to do the ring of Kerry, the place itself is neat and tidy, clean and very comfortable. The bedroom came with extra pillows which we really liked, as well as hangers in the wardrobe and ample space for our stuff. We were in a room with an ensuite bathroom and all was simply perfect. The hostess was extremely kind and very flexible and when we asked if we could arrive later because our friends flight got delayed, she kindly instructed us how to check in later. There is an ample list of dishes that she prepares including pancakes and all the food was delicious!
