This is a fantastic place to visit - a re-enactment of an Irish/American Wake is performed for visitors after a wonderful meal of Soup, Irish Stew and Apple Pie, followed by Irish Coffee. Music, dancing and story-telling/recitations all performed by local musicians and staff - a most enjoyable night out and..............we will definately visit again next year.

While on a business trip this past June I had the chance to visit Molly Gallivan's. From the potent Poitin and the delightful storytelling to the traditional Irish music and dance - it was a glimpse into West Cork's past. The house is restored to close to its original form when it was the gathering place for the Irish in the area some 200 years ago for celebrating births, weddings and homecomings. As their guests, you are offered "the chance to dance with the spirits of those who danced on that very floor so very long ago". Quite enchanting.

This was our first trip to Ireland and our tour guide (Enchanted Way Tours) included this delightful stop. Wonderful to see an authentic working farm that embodies the Irish way of life from long ago. Beautiful local artisan shopping. Great coffee shop with delicious homemade treats. Fabulous views from all areas of the farm. We will definitely stop here again on future trips.

If you are in the Kenmare or Kilarney area of County Kerry, you are only a few miles from one of the most entertaining and historically interesting places in Ireland. On Tuesday nights there is a delicious three-course traditional Irish meal followed by award-winning story telling mixed with live Irish music. All five in our family rated this as the best part of a very active 12-day vacation in Ireland. We laughed, sang along, danced, and were surprised that four hours could pass so quickly (even our 11 year-old son was engaged the entire time). The story-telling is so entertaining, the venue is so intimate (there is room for only about 35 guests), and the owners are very hospitable. The next day we went back and did the self-guided walk around the restored working farm and learned more about life in the early 1800s. This is a class act that is warm, intimate, and not at all "touristy".
