This is a first class B&B. It is quality in location, ambiance, staff friendliness and culinary excellence. The gourmet breakfasts were fantastic. I should try to find some constructive criticism so that this would sound objective but truthfully the place was great.

Bridget served the best breakfast with a variety of great choices. Tried something different each morning. Living room is very... More

By the time you are finished with breakfast, Bridget has your whole day planned with helpful hints about the area.

We only stayed one night in beautiful Killarney - wish we could have stayed another night at least. Friars Glen is fantastic - a bit more pricy than the average B & B but a fantastic location, huge comfortable rooms and a huge breakfast. We would definitely stay here again if we got the chance and spend more time exploring... More
