You know how you take a million pictures on your trips, but you don't have the energy to actually…read moredo anything with them and over time your memories fade and you can barely remember what's in your pictures? Yeah, I hate that too. One of the only specific B&Bs that we can remember from our drive around the whole of Ireland (yup, the North too) is Reendonegan House. Its location is unparalleled, right on Bantry Bay. Our trip here was way too brief. I think we arrived at dusk and left after breakfast (our trips tend to be whirlwind), but I remember I really wanted to make use of the knee-high boots we were offered to go exploring in the grounds in the dark. My husband being more practical/afraid than myself thought it was a bad idea. Seriously though, it's this amazing 18th C house right on the water, a little piece of history, practically unchanged since that time. It's well furnished and the breakfast is good. I remember thinking the whole thing was a deal (currently about 80 Euro per night for a double). Oh yeah, and it is approved by the Irish Tourist Board which was my main criteria when I booked places (seemed to work well). As far as the hosts go, they were friendly, but we didn't strike up any life-long friendships during our short stay (who does that, really?) I wish we spent more time here, but I think we will make it back at some point. One of those many, many amazing spots in Ireland.

Our stay at Louise's Reendonegan House was the best! We (three of us) were the only guests at the…read moretime and she took very good care of us. Her breakfasts were "to die for" and filled our bellies until supper time. The scenery from the back porch (which is filled with gaelic music if you like, and we did) of the bay is breathtaking to say the least. We walked along the shores and made memories that will last a lifetime. I would definitely recommend this B&B!! Linda H. Iowa_USA

The rooms are basic, but the shower is fantastic and Rianne treats her guests very well with home made breads of all kinds, marmelade and jams, along with lots and lots of suggestions of things to do and places to eat and drink in the area. The couple also runs Aquaventures next door which offers diving experiences and boat tours.

Lovely, newer modern style B&B on the Ring of Skellig. The guest rooms are remodeled and the…read morebathrooms are the nicest we saw in Ireland. The owner was very sweet and made us an amazing breakfast. It's a little isolated, but it was the perfect base for a trip to Skellig Michael and exploring the ruins on the Skellig Ring. You can literally see the monastery ruins (where the monks settled after leaving the island of Skellig Michael) from the front room of the B&B. There is a large, new pub just down the road that serves food from noon to 9pm and Waterville is a short ten minute drive away.

What a treat this place was. My partner and I were cycling around Ireland in May and were so…read morepleased to stay at the Mill. Our room had a private bath with nice hot showers and a very comfortable bed. The owners were so sweet and helpful and fed us until we almost exploded. The breakfast is huge- don't fill up on the cold cereal, because there's so, so much more! It was a great find and definitely the best B&B we stayed in on our 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.
