despite having been quite helpful on emailing, this place was not up to snuff. unfortunately, the owner was away and her husband was left essentially alone to manage the B and B. he is very nice but the room was poorly prepared, no soap or shampoo, not overly clean and damp. the breakfast was poor. so don't pay attention to...

Nice distance from kenmare. Clean rooms, excellent hosts and a great breakfast. However the price was the highest we've had to pay so far. More

Quiet location in which we had a nice and spacious room. The owner is funny and easily connected with us by making jokes about this and that. He was helpful in making recommendations for dinner and most importantly, also mentioned restaurants he wouldn´t go himself. The breakfast is OK and offers a wide selection of cereals plus the classical full... More

My husband, daughter and I stayed 3 nights at Willow Lodge and would definitely stay again. Gretta was so hospitable and made a great breakfast with the best brown bread in all of Ireland in our opinion. The room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated with a nice big bathroom attached. Kenmare is a great location if you want to... More

We spent a wonderful evening with Paul and Gretta (Paul has a fantastic sense of humor, and Gretta is warm and genuine). The room and hospitality are tops, and Kenmare is more laid-back (which is what we like). Great for either the Ring of Beara or Ring of Kerry tours. More

We had a wonderful stay at Willow Lodge. Greta and Paul had us laughing the minute we walked in the door and fed us like we were Queens. They were so helpful with directions (gave us an alternative to the treacherous we came in on) and kept us quite comfortable. We think Pam makes the best brown bread in the... More

Whilst we can't complain about the size or cleanliness of the room provided I feel that 100 Euro is about 20 Euro too much after having since compared over 20 other B & B rooms throughout Ireland. I know that if I didn't want it I didn't have to take it but we were desperate having arrived late and keen... More

We were traveling through Ireland in Sept 2009 and booked one day ahead as we realized we needed some place to sleep enroute from Kilkenny to Dingle. It was just that- a place to sleep. The rooms were clean, but no special touches-more like staying in a US motel. (minus the coffepot ) The host was very friendly and engaging,... More

My wife and I (both American) were travelling with another couple (both from England) through the Ring of Kerry, and we were looking to use Kenmare as a starting point. The proprietress of the Willow Lodge, Gretta, was very good about communicating with me via e-mail to establish the rates and make the reservation. Both the accomodations and the breakfast... More
