A quiet welcome on the Ring of Kerry.
Three family-run homes — one 4-star Bed & Breakfast and two self-catering houses — all within a short walk of Kenmare town, the Ring of Beara, and the Wild Atlantic Way.
One family. Three ways to stay.
For over forty years we have welcomed travellers to Kenmare with the same care we’d give a friend. Whether you’re here for a romantic break, a family reunion, or a Ring-of-Kerry road trip, you’ll find a comfortable bed, a warm fire and a homemade breakfast waiting.
Each of our houses sits within a short walk of Kenmare’s restaurants, traditional pubs and harbour, while the mountains, lakes and coastline of South Kerry begin just outside the door.

Kenmare sits at the head of a sea inlet where the Caha and Macgillycuddy mountains meet the Atlantic. Designated a Heritage Town, it is a natural starting point for both the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara, and a quieter, more characterful base than Killarney.
From our doorstep you can wander to award-winning restaurants and traditional music sessions, or set out for Killarney National Park, the Skellig Coast and Sheen Falls — all within an hour’s drive.

“One of the warmest welcomes we’ve had in Ireland. The breakfast is genuinely the best we ate on a two-week trip — and Marian’s brown bread alone is worth the visit.” — TripAdvisor review, summer 2025Read more on TripAdvisor
