We recently stayed for four nights here and loved it. Our room was large and had a lovely view. Breakfasts were hearty and tasty. The location was perfect for walking into town. Marian went out of her way to help us. When my husband's knee started hurting, she brought a hot water bottle to our room each night for him.... More

If you stay here, be sure to try and get one of the front rooms. The view is wonderful. As others have mentioned, this is a very good B&B and a short walk to town via the "shortcut" (but take breadcrumbs). Our room was large and exceptionally comfortable and our hostess and very helpful with suggestions. One a side note,... More

We stayed at this B&B for several nights. I have read the reviews written by others - both good and bad - and I agree with both. The facilities were some of the nicest on our stay. And you are a five minute walk from downtown - but there are a lot of B&B's like that. Unlike some, we were... More

Rockcrest House is a wonderful place to stay in Kenmare. Marian and David are great hosts with top notch accommodations and breakfasts. We have stayed there 3 times now and hope to return on our next trip to Ireland. Kenmare is a good starting point for many of the attractions in the area. Rockcrest provides a short walk into the...

For anyone overnighting in Kenmare, we would recommend the O'Dwyer's Rockcrest House. The rooms are comfortable and immaculate. Marian welcomes you with tea or coffee and cookies in the gathering room and provides you with an excellent breakfast of your choice. It is just up the hill from all the "action" in Kenmare so you can go out to enjoy... More

I stayed with three friends for five nights at Rockcrest House in Kenmare and it was perfect. We had two rooms. The house itself is extremely comfortable and beautifully maintained. It is on a quiet street that is literally a five minute walk to the main two shopping streets in Kenmare. That made Rockcrest House a really lucky choice because... More

We did a 10 day driving tour of Ireland and stayed at B&B's. This was probably our favorite place of all. Upon arrival we had a warm welcome from Marian, plus tea, coffee & goodies. Marian and David gave us great tips for dinner and music, and we had a wonderful breakfast the next morning. The shower was fabulous! Anyone... More

We stayed there only for one night but it was just perfect. The location is perfect if you want to do the ring of Kerry and Marian and David are great hosts. More

This B&B, located an a secluded lane with sheep and cows across the way, was beautiful, immaculately clean and very close to the historic square in Kenmare. The owner gave us tips on dinner and traditional music venues and also told us about a beautiful shortcut into town. Also served a wonderful and varied breakfast which included full Irish, pancakes... More

I stayed in this b+b over 20 years ago and was very surprised to find the same family still running it. My last visit was on a cold November night and the lovely reception my husband and I received made up for the horrible weather. I have to say after all those years it was great to come back and...
