This is such a special B&B. The Breens are lovely people who obviously take such pride in their home, which Mr. Breen built. The gardens are fabulous, too. The home is very clean and the rooms are cozy. It's truly a lovely, rustic, thatch cottage. We were greeted with open arms and asked for our choice of coffee and tea.... More

It is what it is. It's a thatched cottage located outside the city in the country side. It's quiet and relaxing. The front yard was full of flowers and beautiful. This B&B was hand built by the owners, who where very friendly and gracious hosts. The inside feels like a cabin in the woods. The rooms were sizable and clean.... More

We stayed one night at this B& B on August 15 of 2011 and we arrived in Kenmare just as their annual festival was winding down. The town was very busy and it was nice to arrive at this quiet, peaceful cottage. It was everything I imagined an Irish cottage to look like, Davey did an amazing job building it.... More

We regret we only had one night at this Inn but it was a treat! The Inn is darling and we found it to be very comfortable. The rooms are clean, unique and rustic. We slept very well and had a great breakfast in the morning. The Innkeepers are quite friendly and we loved their dog Mason! The locale is... More

What a lovely place to stay -- beautiful yard and the home is enchanting. While new, it captures the essence of a thatched cottage. Wonderful hostess - she made great coffee upon our arrival - and a very friendly dog, Mason that meets you at the door. Breakfast was great -- we would have liked to stay here longer! Carol... More

We were two brothers away for a couple of nights for the Irish Open Golf. Carmel was very helpful when we arrived at Lissyclearig Thatched Cottage at 6.30pm for one night. Tea, coffee, biscuits made available at this quaint B&B but we were busy playing with Mason, the family dog, before dinner in Kenmare. Room was quite nice with ensuite.... More

This B&B couldn't be lovelier. Thatched cottage that the owner built himself, with charming decor and amazing garden. Comfortable and clean room and delicious cooked to order breakfast. Patient old sheepdog greets guests. More

Stayed at Lissyclearig 2 nights during our recent trip to Ireland. We absolutely adored this cottage. Carmel the hostess was charming and friendly not to mention extremely helpful with planning some outings. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Mason the sheepdog is a charmer too. Carmel suggested we take in the town market in nearby Kenmare and it turned out to... More

My wife and I are not hard to please, but we were very disappointed with this B&B. It was actually the worst place we stayed in Ireland in 3 weeks. The exterior is lovely and the location is very good, but that's about all that was good for us. Our bed was so lumpy that we had to sleep on... More
