“Good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We are just back from Ireland for a wedding and stayed at the Glenfort Guest House. I would recommend this guest house for good value for money. Our room looked so much better than the picture on the website. Guest house in a lovely quiet area. Bridgette and husband friendly and made a fabulous breakfast. Couldnt get the tele to work but it didnt really bother us as we didnt spend a great deal of time there as we were out and about with wedding celebrations. Maybe not the most central for the town. Its a good 15 min walk but we just asked Bridgette to phone us taxis. There is a pub/restaurant about two streets up the back of the guest house but we didnt get a chance to try it out. Would go back next time we go to Tralee. Very reasonable.

“Not impressed!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2008

people found this review helpful

I chose to stay at Glen Fort House after picking from a different website. I booked with Bridgette on the phone on the Friday, making reservations for mon - fri the following week, thhis was Great. She then rang monday for my arrival time. I said 6.30 pm, this was great and looked forward to seeing me.

However. . . . . after a 5 1/2 hour drive from meath to tralee, I arrived at my B&B 6.30 sharp, looking forward to a shower and unwinding, to find my hosts nowhere to be seen. After ringing and knocking for a good 15mins, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and wait. an hour later still no sign.
Getting really fed up and hungry I went to find somewhere to eat. I drove back at 8.15, and still no sign!

I then had to drive around for the next hour looking for a place to stay! 8 hours after setting off from home I Found a lovely B&B with internet access. So wrote them an email, explaining that I obviously had found somewhere else to spend the week. To this I got no reply

I wouldn't in good concsience be able to recommend this B&B to anybody, as her customer service is so obviously appalling and she is a disgrace to the B&B profession

“Worst place in a 10-day holiday”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2007

person found this review helpful

The website shows 4 rooms,and they seem quite good, so that' why I choose Glenfort House. But the room they gave me is not seen on the site. I asked for a double room with ensuite bathroom and I received a triple room with only single beds and outside private bathroom. Plus, in the small corridor between my room and the toilet there was a clear drain smell...

As for the hospitality, Bridget was very cold (or embarassed at the best), and welcomed me by saying "who are you?". Her husband spent 5 minutes during my breakfast taking strange looks at all of the guests' cars. Finally, she tried to raise the price from 60€ to 70€,which really made me want to shout at her. But I was on holday so I just told her we agreed for 60€ and paid that sum..and of course ran away from the place straight after.

Nonetheless the other rooms look like they're nice on their website,but that's a place I would never recommend if you're going to Tralee.

“Super”

Great B & B just outside of Tralee. Room was great, nicely decorated and plenty of room. Ensuite was really super with full power shower and soft towels. Beds were very comfy and all rooms had TV and coffee making facilities. Breakfast the next morning was more than sufficient and landlady was very friendly. Would highly recommend for the price Euro 30.00 each.
