Hawthorn Lodge # 2
This was a delightful place to stay in Kenmare. Private but within minutes of walking to Kenmares shops, pubs etc. Spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Plenty of parking space. Would highly recommend.

Cosy House in heart of kenmare town
Superb little cottage just off the main street. It had everything you'd need for an away break, and a nice touch to have some milk and butter in the fridge for us. We were blessed with good weather and the little patio area out the front is a suntrap for the majority of the day. We've already decided that, when we do come back to Kenmare, we'll try to stay here.

Hillside Lodge Kenmare
Just spent 4 nights at Tessa's place, but could have spent lots more. Very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable, with all the facilities needed, including a washer and dryer. Not far into Kenmare, probably walkable for most people (maybe 20-30 minutes. ) The Beara peninsula is lovely, and Derreen Gardens is definitely worth a visit. Plenty of places to visit at no great distance (Kilarney, Sneem, Whitestrand Bay etc.)

Shandrum Garden Annexe, South Kerry. Near Kenmare
Miranda was a great host! Very friendly and easy to communicate with. Her place is a hidden gem. Easy to get on the Ring of Kerry and beautiful walks in the area. Thank you Miranda for the wonderful stay ❤️

Rookery Lane Studio 1 Juliette Room
We had a wonderful stay at Rookery Lane. Incredible location close to all the restaurants and pubs in Kenmare. Free car park a one minute walk over a pretty pedestrian bridge. We would definitely stay there again!

Michael's House, Ring of Kerry, Sea Views
Michaels place was absolutely incredible.. the house, the views and everything in between! We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. Kerry was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Michael was very responsive and gave us recommendations to do. My kids enjoyed playing outside all day. Also, loved all the big windows in the house and having a fantastic view from each one! Would love to come back and stay again one day! Thank you again for the lovely stay!

Camomile Cottage
This is a fantastic new build with everything you need for a holiday. Very private and secure. A great host who made use very welcome and made the effort to greet us and say goodbye as we left. I would highly recommend this place.

Luxury Penthouse - Shrubbery Mews No.2, Kenmare,
We had a fantastic stay at this condo—an ideal home base for exploring Kenmare and the Ring of Kerry. The location is perfect: right in town with pubs, restaurants, and shops just steps away, but still quiet at night. Gated parking was a big plus, and check-in was easy. The condo was spotless, bright, and well stocked—it really felt like a home, not just a rental. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the washer/dryer was super convenient. The open layout and natural light made it feel extra spacious. Beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of room for our family of four. The host was friendly and quick to respond to any questions. We also appreciated the local guidebook and thoughtful touches throughout the home. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
