Absolutely beautiful setting. Small but cozy and warm room overlooking raging river. Breda was delightful and kind. Breakfast delicious. The scene in the picture below is from a somewhat different vantage point from the room window view, on the Blackstones Bridge. Blackstones House is a bit of a challenge to get to, but th end result is well worth the... More

This past Sunday I returned from my vacation in Ireland, and one my fondest memories is now having stayed at Blackstones House, thanks to the wonderful hosts Patrick & Breda and Scruffy, their curious Jack Russell terrier. If you love idyllic scenery, cozy rooms and fine amenities, hearty homemade breakfasts, kind company, peaceful sleep, and dogs, you must stay at... More

Stayed in this area and it was superb location. Scenery was the high point. Hosts were delightful and the rooms was large. Pressure shower was a big surprise. View out the dining area included a stream and mountains. Could not have been any more quiet. Great location for the ring of Kerry area. Would stay there again. Nice, BIG bed... More

So glad to have found this place. Met by Breda and Pádraig (and Scruffy the dog) and immediately felt at home. Tea and coffee with homemade cake was served in a homely living room- a very welcome treat after such a long journey! We were shown to a beautifully spacious bedroom looking right out onto the river. We were delighted... More

Were utterly amazed at the picturesque beauty of this spot. It really is a hidden gem. Breda and Patrick were away when we arrived, but the ladies who were there were very helpful and friendly. When Breda and Patrick came back they were the perfect hosts. Patrick was very helpful with the serving of Whiskey!!!!!!! We wished we had booked... More

If your travelling the ring of kerry and want to find some of the best places off the beaten tourist track then Blackstones is for you. The main selling point for me is the area. It's right next to the river and glencar has some of the best walks in Kerry in my opinion. It's a little tricky to find... More

I'm nearly afraid to give a review of this B&B as I don't want to let the secret out! The location and setting is magical. I fell in love with Kerry here and will come back every year as long as I can. Breda is the perfect host and cannot do enough for her guests. It's a warm friendly atmosphere... More
