My husband and I just returned from Ireland, and Crab Tree B&B was our favorite B&B. You won't find a better location. It's on Mangerton Road, which is right next to Killarney National Park and Muckross House. It probably takes 5 minutes to walk from the B&B to the park, and only takes about 1 minute to drive there. The setting is beautiful--the cottage is surrounded by award-winning gardens, and breakfast is served in a conservatory that overlooks the gardens. Lily Cronin is an able host who is warm, conversational, and serves a fantastic, extensive breakfast--several kinds of cereal, numerous varities of yogurt, a full irish breakfast (eggs, rashers, bacon, tomato) cooked to order, soda bread, toast, jam, orange juice, and tea or coffee. A breakfast like hers would easily cost you 10 euro if you were to purchase it in town, which makes a stay at Crab Tree a cost-efficient option. As the rooms do not contain televisions, she has provided a common lounge for her guests, complete with a television and a plethora of books about Killarney. The only thing that I did not care for was the size of the room--too small to open your suitcase without placing it on the bed. However, that's a small sacrifice, considering the fantastic location, breakfasts, and warm hospitality. At 32 euro per person during high season, Crab Tree B&B is a bargain. It has become one of my favorite places in Ireland, and I will definitely be staying here again.
