    The property was super quiet, comfortable and clean. We loved our 3 days here on the river. It’s a quality guest house, starting to show it’s age but with that comes character, a certain atmosphere & lovely established gardens.

    Comfy room and a very friendly greeting when we arrived with lots of local recommendations from our host. We could have checked ourselves in with the info we were sent but our host was happy to check us in even though we arrived quite late.

***Please note that as of Summer 2024, we no longer offer a breakfast option*** We offer spacious rooms with comfortable beds and beautiful views. All rooms are en-suite and have either a shower, or a combination shower/bathtub (double rooms). There is a coffee and tea area at reception, where guests are free to make themselves a cuppa and relax on one of the comfy chairs or outside by the river with views of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks.
We are a short (less than 5 minutes) drive in to Killorglin town, where you will find top rated restaurants, traditional Irish pubs, local-caught seafood, a bakery, coffee shops, and an Aldi and Spar. Killorglin is rich in history; thousands gather every year for the historic, and beloved Puck Fest in August. We are located directly on the River Laune, which flows down from Lough Leane in Killarney, through Killorglin, and out into the sea. We are a hub for activities; you can spend a day at one of the many lakes nearby, go for an ocean dip at Cromane Beach (15 minutes drive away), hike Ireland's highest mountain, Carrantuohill, or begin your day's drive for the infamous Ring of Kerry.
