We've got the 2 bed house instead of hotel rooms and that was the best. The houses are very clean and there is everything in them that you would need. Kitchen fully provided if you want to make your own- breakfasts or dinners. Beds are comfy. There's also a garden with bbq. On top of that 2 parking spaces with extra charger for electric cars. We took extra breakfast in hotel and it was great decision. Great quality for value. Price include pool, sauna and jacuzzi... to be honest there's nothing more you would need.

Great little town. So many excellent restaurants and shops.
Great little town. So many excellent restaurants and shops. Kenmare
lies between the Kerry Ring and the Beara Ring and is not too far from Killarney so lots to experience.
One of our favourite restaurants was the Boathouse Bistro beautiful setting and great food.
On the way to Killarney stop at Mollys Gap to take a photo and make sure to visit the Avoca shop - the gift section is beautiful and the pastries are top.
Grab a coffee before you head off for the day at Bean & Batch - you will not regret it.

The main street of Kenmare is quite charming with the numerous pubs with live music at dinner time. We love the Kenmare Brewershouse and the Horshoe. You don't get the huge influx of tours buses like you do at Killarney. The drive to Lady's Viewpoint is worth the harrowingly narrow roads...watch out for the sheep and one particular Goat who likes to surprise unsuspecting drivers!
If you are a golfer, make sure you visit the Kenmare Golf Course. The Clubhouse is rather nice too.

Getting around Kenmare on foot is easy and there are a lot of interesting sites to visit such as the exhibit of beautiful lace made there, the history told in the visitor information center, the stone circle, and the holy well. Nearby is the Kissane Sheep Farm where we watched a sheepdog demonstration and sheep shearing - fabulous!! I would absolutely recommend visiting Kenmare!

I was trying to decide between staying in Killarney or Kenmare - I saw a comment from someone to go for Kenmare -- they were so correct! Kenmare has a couple tourist shops but otherwise is a walkable and charming little downtown with great restaurants pubs and live music. Not so touristy as Galway or Killarney, so it's a great spot for a couple nights as a base to see Ring of Kerry. If you drive the Ring clockwise, if you were in Killarney you would have a boring last stretch -- in Kenmare the last portion is from Killarney to Kenmare through the national park -- spectacular end to the day!

Heading into Kenmare after one of Patricia's amazing breakfasts was so simple. Just 5 minutes and you're in the heart of this charming village that isn't too big and isn't too small. Just park your car and everything is walkable either from a space on the street, or the town provided lot that is just one block from the shops. All parking is free, too. There are several town walks that the local tourist office can tell you about if you are seeking history, a wooded stroll, or a stop by the pier.
And don't miss the sheep herding farm about 15 minutes north of town along Killarney Road in Moll's Gap. Well worth the short diversion.

We were a family of five with three young children and stayed here for 3 nights. Fantastic house in kenmare town. A 2 minute walk from the town centre in a quiet location. The house was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The host was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend this house to stay in if you’re planning a trip to kenmare.
Amazing location, picturesque property with a stream running through it. Julia was a very attentive host, providing us with delicious breakfast options. Property is close to Kenmare town and we had a great couple nights stay in very comfortable room.
Thanks Julia!
