Highly recommend!!!

Our host Pat from Avelow B&B recommended Tom Cream's because we wanted good oysters. We got to the…read morerestaurant around 7pm & without reservations but the girls sat us anyway. I think it's best to make reservations just FYI. I ordered 6 natural oysters for 12€. They were fresh and perfectly salty. Definitely worth the $$. We also ordered a beer 4€ and glass of Chardonnay 6.50€. I ordered the sea bass and my friend order the roasted pork. My sea bass was two smaller fish on top of a squash purée and served with a side of boiled potatoes with dill, carrots and a pickled red cabbage (I think). It was very good and filling. The pork roast was very tender. It was served with mash potatoes and a side of apple sauce. Both dishes were lovely. The decor was very trendy and sea inspired. Very cool that the owners based the restaurant on the Irish explorer Tom Crean who came from Kerry. He was a great Antarctic explorer during the early 1900s. I felt welcomed even though it was a fancy restaurant and I had my Havaianas on my feet. People started streaming in and were dressed up. The servers were very tentative and sweet. It would be a perfect spot for a romantic dinner. They also have an early bird special before 6:30pm that read 2 course meal for 21€ (would be great if that included a house beer or wine). Overall, great little place for a fancier dinner. Definitely go for the oysters! The seafood was delicious.

They truly made you feel comfortable and right at home. Frank was even kind enough to drive us to the center of town one evening. The house is beautiful, located right on the Kenmare Golf Course with a great patio you can sit out and enjoy on sunny days. Our room was perfect-spacious, bed comfy and bathroom meticulously clean. Breakfast was delicious and coffee nice & strong(the way I like!). The location of the B&B is ideal- a quick 10-15 minute walk to the center of town where there are ample delicious restaurants/good pubs. Staying in Kenmare is also a great spot to visit the Ring of Kerry and the Beara Peninsula- of which we visited both during our stay. I cannot say enough great things about The Old Church B&B and would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was one of my favorite B&B's during our two week Wild Atlantic Way road trip.

One of my favorite B&Bs we stayed at in Ireland, and one of the nicest, Driftwood Bed and Breakfast…read morein Kenmare is ideal for visiting the local sites. Right off the start, if you plug in the address of Driftwood Bed and Breakfast in your GPS, you will end up on a golf course behind the actual B&B. Driftwood is located right on R569, so stay on that road and it will be on the left if you're coming from Kenmare (if you hit the old church you've gone too far). GPS issues aside, you're in for a treat at Driftwood B&B. It feels more like staying in a good friend's home than anything else. Your hosts Mignonne and Peter are immensely friendly and knowledgeable in the area, and more than accommodating. Parking is readily available out front of the B&B and it's a 10-15 min walk to downtown Kenmare and a good jumping off point for the Ring of Kerry. The rooms are large and plush, with a large bed (if it's a double it's a big double, probably closer to a queen), private bathroom, satellite TV, and fast WiFi. Everything looks to be really new and up-to-date, and the place is refreshingly modern and yes, there are pieces of driftwood decorating the walls. The breakfast is made to order by Peter, who provides a menu with several options along with a serve yourself breakfast area. The food is pretty good and light, a welcome reprieve in Ireland in which you usually stuffed with large breakfasts. All in all, you'll probably love Driftwood B&B, and rightfully so. It's ideally located in Kenmare, near downtown, the Ring of Kerry, and several golf courses, and with new a modern amenities. I highly recommend.

Clean bed and breakfast, one of the best we had been to throughout our three week trip in Ireland…read more Very accommodating hosts, and wonderful food in the morning-at the time you request. Tea ready any time of the day, in your room. Really love the area, and it is a nice walk into town. The host recommended a great restaurant, Davitt's for dinner. We loved it.

We arrived in time for dinner and her recommendations took us to a place where we got a top notch meal followed by a short walk across the street to the pub she recommended to get a properly poured pint of Guinness (nothing like it) while locals in the pub celebrated a win at Celtic football by taking turns choosing someone in the crowd to sing and lead the room singing a tune accompanied by a small group of local musicians. Breakfast was made to order and served in a lovely dining room filled with tables made by her late husband. I would stay with Mary again, given a chance.
