“Neat B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

This B&B would definitely be perfect for a one night stay, just due to it's location being kind of off the beaten path. But that's also what makes it so special! To look out your window and see an old castle surround by water and land as far as you can see....when do you get to do that? Garrett and Patricia were very nice and welcoming. Garrett was friendly, asked us about ourselves and told us some stories about the history of his family and the island we were on. Which was a great start to our trip, since this was our first night. The room was decent, bathroom was a little small, but I soon learned that most bathrooms/showers are in Ireland, haha! We had a comfortable stay and slept well. Breakfast was really good, they asked us exactly what we wanted, so it was made to order. Their coffee was delicious! We also had dinner there since we got in so late and didn't want to venture back into town to try to find food. It was a little expensive as another reviewer mentioned, but it is homecooked, made to order food, so I didn't mind that much, especially after learning how expensive food was at restaurants anyway! Since it was winter, we didn't get to see all the lovely foliage around the property as the pictures show, but I can imagine that it's simply beautiful in the spring and summer! Their little lounge had lots of books to read by the fire on the comfy leather sofas! Free wireless internet worked well in our room which was great! Overall a wonderful experience, felt like part of the family.

“Highly recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2010

This is not the most modern place in the world, but what it lacks in facilities it certainly makes up for in other ways. Garreth was really welcoming and was friendly and helpful from the very start. It's a really nice location with fantastic views, but be warned you will need a car! The breakfast was really good, and again, our host couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely bed and breakfast.
The location close to the Tarbert car ferry was very convenient.
Patricia and Garrett were very welcoming and hospitable.
We slept very well and loved the view from our window.

“Oustanding B&B, great hosts, friendly pets and peaceful location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2010

Patricia and Garrett were wonderful hosts for our family stay with them while we were in Ireland. The dinner was excellent, enjoyed by all. Peaceful place for a walk and nearby Castle provides a taste of the old days. Toby and Kelly (two St. Bernard's) were friendly and added special memories. We would definitely stay again in the future.

“Kerry's Best B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2010

Castle View was exactly what we expected...Perfect! Its picturesque charm and scenery are unparalleled. Garrett and Patricia were wonderful hosts and they saw to our every need during our three night stay. While we were visiting family and sightseeing in western Kerry, Castle View was our home away from home. Patricia prepared excellent dinners during the two evenings we dined in and a delicious Irish breakfast every morning. I cannot compliment Garrett enough; he was graciously helpful, very accomodating, and extremely informative. We will always stay at Castle View whenever we visit.
