Great place! The rooms are large with large I suite bathrooms. It is located right on the Main Street in Kenmare just steps away from shopping restaurants and pubs! The owner, Vanesa, was fantastic! She was welcoming and an excellent chef! She does all the cooking for the B&B, both breakfast and the Pub downstairs! We had only booked one... More

Had 4 nights here 2-6 April. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Rooms were large, beds comfy, bathrooms spacious, shower pressure and hot water great. Ate in the bar 2 nights and the food was superb Breakfast choice was plentiful, cereals, yogurts light choices and of course the obligatory full Irish! The staff were all so friendly they made you...

Only stayed in Kenmare one night but Jer and Vanessa (owners) made it all worthwhile. Great conversation, really good food and a room with two of the biggest skylights you'll ever see. We checked out two other hotels/B&B's on the street but this was the most inviting. Wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely come back again. We... More

This was a great place to stay and you can check it off your list of "staying above a pub"! You'd never realize there was a pub below... Perfect location on the main street for shopping and pubbing... Awesome price!

This was our one pub-stay experience in a 10 day trip. Frankly, we were a little nervous about it. How pleased we were to find a clean and spacious room in the wonderfully charming environs of Kenmare! My wife was very impressed with the inviting breakfast room, and the food both there and in the pub was delicious! Sadly we... More

We did enjoy our night in Kenmare, in fact we loved our night in Kenmare. The food, welcome and service at O' Donnabhains was very good. We found another pub with a great fire and a boogie woogie piano player!! To finish of our night we popped into Crawleys (an old fashioned) pub across the road and enjoyed an inpromptu... More

Good: Good location. Not so Good: Breakfast was only served between 8.30 and 9.30am, on the dot of 9.30, there is no staff to be seen in the breakfast room. My opinion was - too early for people who want to have a break and a lie in on their holidays. Parking was outside in the back yard, no actual... More

Stayed here for 3 nights last month with two friends in rooms 11 and 12 - they have been recently refurbished and also had a small sitting area with a settee and TV in for our use. Very nice spacious and stylish rooms. Nice big bathrooms. Kenmare itself is a very good place to explore the Ring of Kerry, and... More

This was one of the best stops on our self-drive holiday in southern Ireland. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, the room we stayed in was spacious, light and airy & the en-suite facilities were lovely. We were also given a room for non-smokers which was fabulous. Its location in the heart of Kenmare was perfect and the off-street... More
