Paud was a great host and gave us some of the best tourism advice we've had so far in Ireland. Great breakfast, great location, and great hosts. You simply can not go wrong staying here. At first I tried to give them four stars. If you look at my ratings I rarely give five stars. The more I thought about it - the more I decided this NEEDED to be a five star - and from me, that's saying a lot!

It was well before check in so we left our bags there and went into Killarney which was quite close. Kathleen pull out a map and told us exactly where to go in order to get acquainted with the area. Terrific! When we got back later that day and were ale to see our room our bags had been brought in. The room was bright, airy and spotless. The bathroom was new and again spotless! Breakfast was delightful with Kathleen circulating to make sure everyone was well fed, had a good nights sleep and knew where they were going and how to get there! Each day when we returned Kathleen greeted us and asked where we had been. Our stay in Kathleen's Country House was just delightful!

Hazelwood was a great place to stay! When we arrived in Killarney, Nora insisted on picking us up from the train station, which was very nice of her as it would've been a bit of a walk with our suitcases. The room was comfortable and there was a great view of the mountains from one of the windows. Breakfast was delicious too! We had an option of cereals and fruit or a full cooked breakfast, which I enjoyed both mornings and was not disappointed! Nora and her husband even arranged for a tour company to pick us up at the house for a day tour of the Gap of Dunloe, which made our trip so easy! We slept in quite a bit our second morning at Hazelwood - recovering from an 11km horse ride and a few whiskeys the day before - and Nora was kind enough to make us breakfast even though it was late morning. We totally weren't expecting it, and it was very nice of her to accommodate us! Would definitely recommend this place!

It only operates around May thru October each year. Wifi Internet access is a bit slow but we have our own mobile hotspot so that's not a problem. Breakfast is delicious with good portion. The room is a bit small for four of us but expected. At least we have our private bathroom. Location is only a few minutes ride from town, and very close to the national park and the Ring of Kerry. Note that, like most places in Ireland, the B&B does not have A/C nor fan.

We were looking for a place that was a good home base for the Southwest Coast of Ireland, specifically the Dingle Peninsula. Well, this place was above and beyond our expectations. The service was superb! Make sure you take the time to get to know the owner John King, as he is extremely friendly, accommodating, and just a nice person to talk to. The breakfast was fantastic, and when John found out it was our honeymoon, he brought our breakfast to our room! Great service. The lodge also has a great location as we could walk to the town centre for food or beers (plenty of pubs) and we had walks to Ross Castle, Killarney National Park, and Lough Leane. We saw so many amazing places, just by walking from the Abbey Lodge. Also, we took a train from Dublin, and the Lodge is close to the train station, and if someone is an American scared about driving on the opposite side of the road, Killarney is an easy place to get your feet wet. The Budget Rental Car is right near the lodge, and you will meet another great man, Liam, who will go out of his way to help you. Rent the car, DRIVE TO DINGLE, walk around all of Killarney, and stay at the Abbey Lodge.

Visiting Ireland for the first time and staying in Killarney for the evening, I was searching for a…read moreplace to grab dinner. Looking up different places and reading menus, I decided to give The Failte Hotel a try and overall, it was ok. I walked in on a Saturday evening, around 6:15pm. Going up the stairs to the restaurant, it was large with plenty of tables, a bar, and a few TVs playing. I got a table near the window facing the street with ease. The waitress came over with a menu but I knew what I wanted since I browsed it before walking in. She seemed new though as she wasn't overly friendly and didn't explain that I had to go up to the bar to cash out. Sipping on my pint of Guinness with Black, in what felt like maybe five minutes, my dinner arrived. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Burger, which is a grilled Cajun chicken fillet topped with lettuce, tomato, and red onion with sweet chili mayo between a toasted brioche bun and served with a side of fries. The sandwich was good, nothing really stood out, but that's fine, it had good flavor overall. I liked the spice it had and the side of fries had come fresh out of the fryer as they were very hot and crispy. Overall, a fine experience at The Failte Hotel. The waitress who waited on me seemed new and should have done a better job communicating the cash out process, but no harm done. The food was fine as well, nothing really noteworthy. If I were passing through Killarney again, I wouldn't mind coming back for dinner.
