Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Blennerville windmill is a must if you are in Kerry. We visited as a group of friends with our 11 year olds and everyone loved it. There is loads to see and do and the staff are just about the friendliest I have ever come across anywhere. It was the icing on the cake of a fabulous weekend in Kerry. Thank you Blennerville Windmill. Blathnaid

This is just a simple windmill located in the middle of a village but it’s an interesting enough thing to see along the way. There’s really not much to see other than the windmill itself for just a photo opportunity, so I would not recommend making a long trip to see it, but if it happens to already be along your route of the Wild Atlantic Way, it’s worth making a quick pit-stop.

This a famous landmark and it has been lovingly restored. You can take a guided tour and get a great history lesson from a great story-teller. It’s an hour of fun and experience that is worth every euro.

We got there by chance and did not expect much. The miller himself gives a tour through the mill. You see that he loves to do this and fascinates you with a lot of details about the mill and its history. And he is always funny and entertaining.

A brilliant tour guide (didn’t get his name!) He was so engaging with the children and they absolutely loved it. Very informative and interesting but the guide made it!

Last Saturday our bus tour of 42 visited Blennerville Windmill in Tralee. We had a great experience here and Des who guided us through it all was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humour. It was such an interesting trip and our time there absolutely flew. It is seriously well worth a visit. We shall definitely be recommending Blennerville.

I visited Blennerville Windmill during my solo trip to Kerry. Very easy to reach from Tralee - whether by car, on foot or by bike - the mill and its visitor ventre are well worth a visit. First of all, I took part in a site visit to the mill itself. This was both informative - personally, I knew very little about how to operate a mill! - and entertaining as our guide very capably involved all visitors. I then visited the railway exhibition, with miniature recreations of the Irish railway landscape and pictures from the historic line between Tralee and Dingle. Finally, I visited the rooms dedicated to bread-making across centuries and the Irish emigration experience, with a painstakingly accurate reconstruction of the transatlantic experience of coffin ships as opposed to the Jeanie Johnston. I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone in Tralee, the experience being enriched by the kindness of the museum staff, who are as competent as they are ready to exchange a few words with visitors.

The tour of the Blennerville Windmill was fun and enjoyable. Des was awesome as he took us through the windmill level by level. He involved everyone on the tour in the experience. Prior to the tour, as we were walking through the exhibit, we got to talk with Des and he provided us with information on places to eat while we stayed in Tralee.

We visited the mill on a rainy day. The mill is in a location with a great view. First you will see a film in the visitor centre about the mill. Then you look around the exibition. At the end one of the guides will take you to the mill and give you an explanation, you will go up to the top of the mill via steep stairs where you can feel the windforce on the mill. Children get special attention in the explanation.
At the end you can visit the model train layout of the former Dingle line, which makes a nice end to the tour. Really a nice visit.
