You will notice there are no tea or coffee facilities in your room. These are kept on the first floor near Rooms 6 & 7. Everything is on a tray, so just take a tray back to your room.
Staying with us? Make an evening of it downstairs. Our kitchen serves seasonal, locally sourced food, from hearty Irish favourites to fresh Atlantic seafood, served in our traditional 18th-century bar and restaurant with its exposed ceilings and native stone walls.
Pair your meal with a pint of local craft beer or something from our long list of Irish whiskeys, and stay on for the traditional music most nights.
Tables fill up quickly in the evenings, especially at weekends and in summer, so we recommend booking ahead. Just choose your date and time below. For larger groups or special requests, just ask at the bar.
We hope we have made your stay with us a memorable experience. If you're enjoying it, a few kind words help the next traveller find us. It takes less than a minute.

Kenmare is the perfect starting point for the Ring of Kerry, the famous 179 km (111 mile) drive around the Iveragh Peninsula. We’ve made our own map with the must-see stops along the way, from Sneem and Derrynane to Waterville, Valentia Island and Killorglin.

Plan your day with our local guides. We’re Kenmare locals and we write our own blog to help guests make the most of their time here: the best stops, where to eat along the way, and the hidden spots most visitors drive straight past. Have a read over breakfast before you set off.
For something quieter and wilder, head south from Kenmare on the Ring of Beara. It has fewer coaches than the Ring of Kerry, dramatic mountain roads and colourful villages along the Wild Atlantic Way. Our map shows the best stops along the route.
