We arrived in the Brook Lane Hotel on July 5th and received a really warm Kerry welcome. Everything was regularly cleaned to a very high standard, tables were well spaced out, hand sanitizer provided throughout the hotel, and staff wore masks or visors. Thus we felt safe but very relaxed, as every single staff member was friendly, helpful and efficient.
Our room was very comfortable and quiet, and the food was delicious. There was a wide range of dishes served from 12.00 noon to 9.00 p.m., with emphasis on the best of local produce. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order.
We also ate in the hotel's award winning restaurant "No. 35" in Kenmare, which can be quickly reached on foot via a lovely short cut. The food here was equally tasty and beautifully presented. Advance booking is essential.
Kenmare is a charming town and very well located for exploring the area, especially the stunning and unspoiled Beara Peninsula.
This was our first stay in the Brook Lane Hotel, but it was obvious that the hotel has many "return guests", and that is no surprise. It was a great choice for a "staycation", and we would certainly like to return.
