“Never again in this lifetime!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

This B&B is quite old, so maybe it is why the room was damp, cold and smelled heavily of mold and mildew. The bed linens were wet, sheets and spread, and stank. It was hard to sleep as the beds were hard and wet. It was hard to breathe with all the mold in the air. Stairs were hard to traverse with luggage. Not sure if the landlady actually wanted guests, as she was not very friendly. Breakfast room was cold. Shower did not work properly. Heat went off after our arrival and did not come back on. So we tried to sleep in a cold, damp, smelly room, with stinky linens. Overall experience was of discomfort and we could not wait to leave. We chose another B&B for the next day. I would not recommend this B&B to anyone.

Room Tip: Don't get a room at this place.

“Never again !”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

Although the place looks pleasant from the outside, the rooms are small and the bathroom even smaller. The Landlady was very unfriendly. I was booked in to this place for a cycling trip and had to go there twice. Thankfully the Landlady was not there for the 2nd visit.
Hoever, on the first stay, it was raining in the morning so we thought we could delay our start to see if the rain would let up. The Landlady informed us that we should bring our luggage out the room as it would be picked up in 15 minutes (After 2.5 Hours was still not picked up). Unfortunately I had a puncture on my bike and had to repair and needed to go into town (15 minute walk). Finally I was ready to leave at 11:45. I asked if I could wash my habds and use a toilet. "No", I should go down to the next hotel and use the facilities there ! Great hospitality eh ?

“Could be Better”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

This B&B is a 2-storey stone building within walking distance to town. The host was friendly, and the breakfast was good, but the overall impression was just average due to the slightly run-down condition of the rooms, and the cleanliness of the bed linen. Any renovations must have been done some time ago. We had the downstairs room at the back with the stone wall. The room was small, but the lower than average price should lower your expectations.

Room Tip: As usual, downstairs rooms have noise problems from above.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at this quaint little cottage. The owner, was exceptional, pleasnat and available. We loved the half front door as we approached the cottage. Very clean, and the breakfast was over the top. Druid Cottage is is walking distance to the town of Kenmare. I would highly recommend this B&B.
