“We were delighted.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

people found this review helpful

My wife, daughter, and I spent four nights at the Shraheen House in July 2011, and we were delighted.

The beds were comfortable, the furniture of the rooms functional and modern, and the bathroom had modern fixtures. Our room looked out on a pretty, serene garden.

Breakfast each morning was a treat. Three kinds of homemade baked bread and other traditional Irish baked goodies were provided as we awaited our breakfast to be prepared. I ate the full Irish breakfast, a wonderful meal, while wife and daughter ate more sensibly. The abundant food was an excellent quality and its presentation was amazing, worthy of a fine restaurant in New York.

The location is nice and quiet and is off of a thoroughfare that connects with main roads. It only takes a few minutes to get to the middle of Killarney, but you can sleep without the noise of the revelers. Killarney has many restaurants, shops, and pubs and plenty of public parking.

It is a great base for exploring the Killarney National Forest and the peninsulas like Dingle.

The folks that run the place are very pleasant and helpful, and it is clear that they take great pride in providing a nice accommodation for the traveler.

“A breakfast to die for!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2011

Shraheen House would have to be considered one of our most memorable B&B experiences. Maureen is a most capable host who conjures up magnificent breakfasts with her own baking variations each day. Our lodging was tastefully decorated with artistic flair and all of this comes with the warm Irish hospitality, clever humour and great advice on the local area.

“Should Be #1 -- Fabulous Food and Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Absolutely wonderful B&B! All breads, muffins and scones home baked. The breakfasts were fabulous, much better than any other we had in Ireland. Maureen makes delicious coffee, also by far the best we had. There was good variety at breakfast and the food was tasty and beautifully presented. Everything in the bedroom you could want was provided including extra pillows, throw blanket, etc. Towels were way above average -- very thick and oversize.

In addition, the hostess, Maureen, was very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations for restaurants; helped plan activities and even booked another B&B for us. I was feeling poorly and Maureen knocked at our door one afternoon with warm, home made muffins. We were not going to stay in Killarney but friends recommended Shraheen House and we were so happy they did! We would definitely repeat our stay here!

“Best b and b experience ever!”

Of all the b and b we had in our five days in Ireland maureen's Shraheen house in Killarney gets our thumbs up. The entire house and surrounding grounds are maintained to an immaculate standard both in cleanliness as well as good taste, nothing cheap or tacky god forbid. A feminine and artistic touch is evident throughput the entire house. Many thoughtful extras like milk and cookies, hairdryer, toiletries basket. The ensuite was small but scrupulously clean, and everything worked with no exceptions. The breakfasts ate truly well worth waking up early for. We particularly enjoyed the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs as well as the fruit platter with yogurt. All generously portioned and served with pride. It has been rated 4 stars by the AA, I would go one step further and give Maureen and her husband 5 stars. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to Many happy returns!:)
