My husband I stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for better hosts or a better place to stay. This place is very clean and the breakfast was amazing. The hosts, Tom and Maura, make you feel right at home and also provide excellent recommendations for where to eat in Kenmare! Can't wait to return.

great location to walk in to town. Old Country feel. Great breakfast. Clean rooms! Lovely visist

The Shelburne Lodge is an excellent small hotel (more than a B&B) in a lovely old house with beautiful gardens. Walking distance into Kenmare, but very quiet (set off from the road). Our room was very nice and airy, with antique furniture and fresh flowers, beds very comfortable. The breakfasts were absolutely fantastic: served in a charming dining room, you choose one first course (fresh fruit w/ yogurt, poached peaches, tc... ) and one second course - full Irish breakfast, pancakes, smoked salmon, omelettes, fresh fish. The fresh fish was excellent - we'd never had that for breakfast before, and were converted. Kenmare is a pretty small town with lots of pubs and restaurants, and a very good base for tours of Ring of Kerry, Killarney etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Shelburne lodge set on beautifull gardens. There was fresh flowers in every room and i am still dreaming about the food. The family of the house were also extremely welcoming, i had a great stay.
