Decided we had to stay here from its website. A quirky family run establishment with a pub,shop, b and b and restaurant - my curiousity got the better of me.
Initially thought a similarly named B and B in the village of Kilkee was this but a phonecall sent me in the right direction (N.b. this is place is a couple of Km outside the village)
We were greeted warmly and shown to our cool self contained apartment with a jacuzzi bath,fridge, tv etc. really impressive.
A couple of drinks followed by dinner in the restaurant was the next step. The food was of a high standard and prepared fresh by the owner before being brought to the table by his daughter.
The accommodation price was average for the area but the food prices were a little on the high side. I can imagine the unpredictable nature of the business and the extensive menu warrants that costs must be covered as there must be huge wastage when demand is low. unfortunately these costs have to be passed on.

Overall a really pleasant stay in a highly professional family run establishment. would recommend.

Room Tip: book the online deal- food and room. we forgot and it wasn't possible to get that on the day.

“The VERY best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2009

We stayed with Michael and Ashley and found it to be superb ! A small establishment that met our every need. We arrived early in the morning and were met by Michael waiting for us. Snacks and tea and our room ready for sleep. They were most helpful and the eveing meals were extrordinary. They made our trip special. We'll be back !

“1st class traditional charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2008

person found this review helpful

I stayed with my wife for 2 nights on a B&B and Evening meal package. It was fantastic value. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, the food is wonderful and the rustic ambience of the traditional bar with a peat fire burning was pure charm. The saying "there are no strangers, only friends you have yet to meet" is so apt for Keanes. All the locals were warm and friendly and extremely helpful for tips on the area. The room was bright, clean and spacious and even had a useful fridge topped up with fresh milk from the traditional shop on site. I have stayed in many high class hotels all over the world but never felt such a valued guest as I did here. We have already booked to go back this summer and will be taking my daughter and her husband this time.
