“Simply amazing, thank you very much!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

We've just arrived home in England after a delightful 4 night stay at Holly Grove and I shall dearly miss that lovely cooked Irish breakfast tomorrow morning.

I'd highly recommend Holly Grove to anyone looking to stay in this part of Ireland, the owners Peggy and Patrick are both so very helpful after a long day travelling not only were they kind enough to offer to pick us up from the bus station they also had tea and cakes for us on arrival and a lovely warm bed, it was the perfect start to our short break.

I've never known such exceptional customer service, beats what any 5 * hotel could ever offer, we were made to feel so very welcome.

I would advise you take a car or hire one, but this is the case with all the B&Bs in this picturesque area, however even on foot we had a great time and Peggy and Patrick offered us lifts on numerous occasions, which we were very thankful for.

In conclusion, I hope we one day return to Holly Grove!

“Fantastic in every way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

We stopped here for 4 nights as a base to explore the Ring of Kerry & Gap of Dunloe.

From the moment we arrived Peggy was such a lovely host - the kettle was on and scones served! For no other reason it's worth stopping here for the scones!

A beautifully clean room in a lovely home gave us a great place to travel around the Ring of Kerry and take the short drive to the start of the Gap of Dunloe. 15 miles of walking later we were back at Holly Grove for a well earned rest.

For anyone who is a cat lover there is always Ginger - a lovely member of the family to pamper in the garden - also a great part of this B&B

We'll definitely be back

“A place in paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2010

We spend a week end in Holly grove. We arrived late the friday night, and Peggie was waiting for us. the bed was warmed up, and the water for the tea too.
The bed is confortable, the room was very nice, and the entire house is cosy and very very clean. the shower is perfect.
I like it because it was close to the city, but it is not INTO the city (you need a car, but you will not regret going there, the landscape is simply beautiful) : it's ideal to go during the evening have a dinner in killarney and return to sleep quietly, after watching a movie in the living room : Peggy prepared a chimney fire !
the breakfast is hearty. Peggy is very nice and cooks very well !
I was looking for a real B&B, friendly, cosy and relaxing , it was simply perfect.
I will go back to killarney, and without a doubt, i will book a room in Holly Grove.
