“Lovely stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Our stay at the Driftwood B&B was lovely. The room and bathroom looked new and very clean. The views from the house are very picturesque with the ruined church and graveyard across the street and the hills and valley behind. The B&B is not in town. It's about a 10 minute walk. Kenmare is a quaint small town with a nice selection of pubs, restaurants and shops. At the B&B there was a good selection of local guide books and information to help in deciding where to go next. Breakfast was lovely and the Irish Soda bread excellent. Parking was available. We recommend this B&B.

“what a find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

we arrived on spec looking for a room for 5 nights, as expected it was full, however we was offered a garden apartment which we accepted. The department was fantastic and had everything we wanted, we awoke in the morning and whilst laying in bed opened the french doors in to the garden, pure heaven !! excellent value. The owner Peter was very helpfull and pleasant and was there if we needed anything.

Room Tip: They were all very good, but ask for the apartment if you don't mind self catering

“A good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

The Driftwood, hosted by Peter, is a built to plan B & B, very clean, well laid out, and very efficient even though a little far from the city center. We were the only people staying there since it was near the end of the season. Peter fixed a good breakfast and was very accommodating.
