“Killarney's best kept secret. Without doubt, the best guest house I have stayed in.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010

I chose Fuchsia House at random from several guest houses I found on the internet. To say it was a lucky choice is the understatement of the year. I was staying in Killarney to attend a big event at the Gleneagles Hotel, which is a 5 minute walk from Fuchsia House. I honestly can tell you the standard in this Guest House is as good as anything you might find in a 4 star hotel. The rooms are absolutely magnificent...being furnished with genuine antique and high quality furniture, and the bed linens are gorgeous. The bathroom was spotless and as good as hotels I have stayed at in London or Las Vegas. The breakfast was really nice, served with sliced wholemeal bread from a bakers loaf, not a supermarket variety. Neal and Marie are genuinely lovely people, and Neal even drove me back to the airport when I was leaving, something he did not need to do, and it’s a good few miles too. It is so nice, and the area is stunningly beautiful with all the mountains surrounding Killarney, that I am going to return with my wife and daughter in the spring of 2011.
In summary, Fuchsia House is way way above the standard you would expect of a guest house...it is more like a 4 star hotel standard in my opinion. but without the formality (or prices!)

“Kick off your shoes, make yourself a cuppa and relax: coming here was like coming home...”

We stayed 4 nights with our 6-month-old and really came to rest in the Fuchsia House.
We enjoyed the wonderful breakfast, the spacious and clean room, a nice bath and comfy beds.

“BEST PLACE EVER”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2010

We've returned from FUCHSIA GUEST HOUSE which is our 3rd summer to stay. As usual we had a fantastic time. MARIE & NEIL are 2 of the nicest couple anyone can meet, they pull out all the stops to make sure your stay with them is all and more than anyone could ever want. Can't wait to get back hopefully this year again. A BIG THANKYOU MARIE & NEIL.

“What a Lovely Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2009

My wife and I have stayed at this guesthouse since shortly after it first opened and have stayed there with successive owners over the years. Without a doubt, the new owners (Neil and Marie) have continued the tradition of making this a wonderful place for any visitor. It is a mere 10 minutes walk to the town centre. It is confortable, warm, welcoming and a place I would easily call a second home.

Rooms are clean and comfortable. Tea\coffee making facilities are available in the guest kitchen down the hallway (where you can chat over the day's activities and plan what the next day will bring).

All in all, my wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Well done Neil, Marie and family. We cannot wait until our next visit.

“Lovely property, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2009

The owners were on holiday when we stayed, which was disappointing as we'd looked forward to meeting them but daughter Dorinda was really helpful and looked after us brilliantly, including providing an excellent breakfast.

The guest house is ideally located for trips into Killarney and into the countryside around the town.

The house is elegantly furnished, traditional style, good quality bedding and furniture and I had a very comfortable bed.
