We spent one night in this charming hotel in the middle of the Ring of Kerry. I wish we had more time to explore and stay longer! The hotel is an old building, but it is well maintained, clean and extremely comfortable. My husband and I arrived after 8:30pm, hungry and cold, and our hostess was kind enough to make... More

The Glencar Hotel is in a remote, beautiful location. The building has seen better days -- the restaurant and downstairs generally could do with a big overhaul -- but the prices for the simple but pleasantly decorated rooms reflect this. The hosts are very friendly, and provide excellent homecooked meals in the evening as well as a full breakfast which... More

I have stayed at Glencar House 3 times over the last 2 years and it is consistently the most friendly and welcoming place that I have ever stayed at! Liam and Eilis (and Lizzie, the wee westie) cannot do enough for you. The rooms are large and clean. The food is good with B&B or include dinner which usually has... More

I stayed at Glencar for two nights with my 9 & 10 year old boys. We had a very relaxing time. The boys loved the snooker table, the board games supplied and the piano. We had a meal on both evenings which was delicious. Eilish & Liam could not do enough for us and they made our stay very enjoyable.... More

My sister and I have spend some absolutely fantastic days in Glencar. Our twin room was spacious and the beds very comfortable. Spending our days walking in the breathtaking countryside surrounding the hotel, we were very thankful for the carefully prepared and delicious dinners in the evening as well as the pints of Guinness and the warming fire place in...

We stayed in a self catering cottage nearby, we wanted to go to the Glencar Hotel for some food one evening, but got lost. Glencar Hotels sent out a driver to collect us and we had a brilliant evening with venison stew, drinks beside their cosy fire and enjoyed looking at all the old fishing photos from yonder years on...

Had dinner here recently and it was absolutely georgous. The steak and duck were perfect as were the vegetables. There was a lovely selection of homemade breads. Service was excellent and the waitress friendly. Beautiful location too. Didn't stay but would expect it to be very good as Liam and the staff are very friendly. It's a hidden gem, really... More
