We had been travelling for nearly 3 months when we arrived at Friars Glen. We had stayed in a variety of hotels and B&Bs but none provided the level of service, location and friendliness that we found at Friars Glen. Booking from the Internet can be a lottery but the reviews we read convinced us that we were on to... More

My husband and I spent two wonderful nights at Friars Glen. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was 5 star service all the way. A refreshing cup of tea in front of the fire and Mary's information was a great way to start our few days in Killarney. Mary and Bridget present the best breakfast... More

Friars Glen is a fantastic bed and breakfast run by John and Mary with the help of Bridget. Our first night in Ireland was our best thanks to Friars Glen. My husband and I arrived at the bed and breakfast in the afternoon after getting off a 7am flight and trying to do too much driving and sightseeing in one... More

I have just returned from a tour of Ireland with 3 friends to celebrate our 40th birthdays. If Killarney National Park, Muckross House, the Ring of Kerry or Dingle are on your list of places to see - this is an IDEAL location. The guest house is neat and clean. Mary and John were the perfect hosts - greeting us... More

We stayed at Friars Glen for 3 nights. It was fabulous in all ways - we simply could not find any fault. Lovely location, premises, room, food and lounge. Charming and very helpful owners and staff who go the extra distance to provide helpful information. A June discount made our stay exceptional value. Lovely. More

We stayed for 3 nights and it was lovely. The hosts were welcoming, the breakfast delicious (with lots of choice), and the room was clean and comfortable. Overall, it was a cozy and inviting place to return to after a day touring the National Park. We will definitely stay here again if we're back in Ireland. More

There is a reason this B&B is at the top of the list here. The staff was extremely welcoming, warm and accommodating, the rooms and house well-appointed and comfortable, and you can't beat the beauty of the Killarney National Park outside the front door. Yes, it is a 10min (or less) drive to Killarney Centre...but who cares? Whomever finds this... More

We spent three nights in this B&B and loved it! We were welcomed with tea and scones and shown to our room, which was roomy and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was great (really warm water and high power). The breakfasts were substantial and delicious, including a buffet, homemade muffins or scones, and a hot made-to-order... More

This fantastic guesthouse was in the perfect location for exploring the national park, and only a short drive from Killarney. The bedroom was clean and very comfortable and it was so warn and cosy sitting by the roaring fire in the living room. John and Mary were excellent hosts and gave us lots of great recommendations of things to do/... More
