The home is clean and comfortable. The host was lovely. There are no amenities (no breakfast) and the walk to town is considerable (and a rather large hill!). But, it was an excellent place to lay our weary heads. Check in and checkout were simple.

Lovely Torine

Catherine was a lovely host. The small town of Killorglin was wonderful and a short walk from the house. The garden at Torine House was absolutely beautiful. Even though we only stayed 1 night I would definitely stay again!

Not a B&B. More like a nice hostel w/no breaky.

This place is advertised as a B&B, but we were told *only after we arrived* that they were not serving breakfast anymore - and that they had not been for a year (after the death of one of the owners).

Catherine, the owner who met us and let us check in early was so kind and friendly, l'm reluctant to say anything negative, but unfortunately, the place was not as nice.

For the same price: 180€, we had a large modern room and a glorious breakfast at the Hotel Killarney just a few nights before. With no breakfast, and an older space with seriously tiny rooms, I can’t say Torine House was worth anything close to 180€.

Our double room consisted of two very small alcove-like connected rooms: so small that once we put our suitcases on the floor (because there was no other place to put them), there was hardly any room to walk around - the slanted ceilings were hard for us to maneuver too. (We anre of anverage height, and we each bumped our heads multiple times.) Both little alcoves had a bathroom (which I confess was a bonus), but the showers were so tiny we could hardly move in them. We both commented that they felt like tiny phone booths (remember those?). I can't imagine how a larger bodied person would do in there; would they even be able to move at all? Unlikely.

So, while Catherine was a kind host, the Torine house was a disappointment for us -had it been priced and advertised as an upscale hostel w/no breakfast, we might not have been surprised and disappointed.

Disappointed.

When we arrived we spoke to the proprietor. Firstly we had been advised to pay by card but was asked to pay cash and asked to go to town and get cash. We then had a conversation about our booking and was advised we had booked just a room not B&B. I said that wasn't clear but maybe I had assumed wrong. It was advertised as a B&B and there was no mention of extra for breakfast. I was assured I had booked room only but then told if I had booked breakfast it wasn't available as chef had called in sick.
There was tea/coffee making in the room but when we made a cup in the morning the milk had gone off so we left without even a drink.

I made a reservation for a five night stay expecting to do some hill climbing. However a week before my arrival I injured my leg and was using a wheelchair and a walker. I was not able to use the wheelchair inside because the halls were very narrow and the door frames were narrow and there were heat registers on the walls making the halls even narrower.

The place is listed as a “Bed & Breakfast”. There is no mention of an additional charge on the website for breakfast. A continental breakfast (dry cereal, juice, tea, coffe) was €14 per person. We passed on the breakfast and did not even ask what the charge was for the full Irish breakfast which was another option.

The website said that there were newspapers available in the lobby. None were evident during our 5 night stay.

The website says the facility is “family friendly”. The rules on the door of our room said no children under 12 allowed. So much for family friendly.

A sign in the lobby made a statement about guests feeling right at home. The rules on the door stated that no food could be consumed in the room. A strange limitation. Not like any home I have ever lived in or hotel that I have stayed in.

The hostess reassigned us to a first floor room because of my mobility limitation which was helpful.

The front yard was nicely arranged with shrubs, flowers, and pathways. The shrubs were overgrown and made the paths hard to navigate in a wheelchair. There is a very nice monkey puzzle tree in the yard.

Comfy quiet B&B

Stayed 1 night on my Ring of Kerry road trip and it served my purposes quite well. Free parking on site, breakfast available but optional (I don't typically eat until noon so I'm just as happy not to pay for it if I won't be hungry), easy walk to the small downtown area with restaurants & shops. The room was comfy and just what I needed for a brief stay. The bathroom for my room was in the hallway just next door, though some rooms may have en suite. I did have a sink though, which was convenient. The hostess was friendly and very helpful, but stayed out of the way if not needed. Good value and comfy place to stay.

The property was adequate. We liked the location to get a jump ahead of the tour busses on the ring. Street signage helped find the property. Check in was easy. Property was plain and basic. Host was not unhelpful but certainly added nothing to the experience. Rooms were lined up side to side in an addition to the property.

Great B&B if you like and are familiar with B&B’s

Friendly yet a bit of a rule master with the posted rules on doors and the exact breakfast times. We weren’t clear on if the living spaces were available to use but it didn’t appear welcoming since the doors were kept closed and we weren’t invited to use them or given any sort of tour. Catherine is very efficient and answers any specific questions and her husband is a fascinating man with much conversation and history to impart and share. The rooms have thin walls and very doors and everything may be heard between the rooms and the hall. That was unnerving but the town is amazing and very under appreciated. The local pubs are an absolute delight.

The Torine House was the perfect Irish getaway, we loved it! Having never traveled internationally we were a bit nervous about what we'd walk into but Catherine and Tony were welcoming and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable and meet any and all needs. The most amazing thing was that Catherine helped us immensely when we were in quite a pickle, I'll always be thankful for her generosity. Lastly, the breakfasts were delicious. We always had a hot Irish breakfast ready for us that filled us for our day's adventures. I hope one day we can return and enjoy the Torine House again. Thank you Catherine and Tony!

Needs updating

Disclaimer-This is written to inform prospective travelers only with no disrespect to the proprietors (I understand that this is someone’s livelihood).
Bed was old and slightly uncomfortable
Bathroom towels were dank & moldy smelling.
There was no flat sheet that separates the comforter from the bed linens. (More my preference)
Breakfast was served only at 8:30am with no attempt for accommodating guests’ holiday schedules. Sadly I overheard a conversation with another guest and the proprietor that the reason breakfast couldn’t be served earlier was because the proprietor had a dentist appointment at 8am the next morning. (Id figured a B&b would try to be flexible in the morning for breakfast).
Overall the room needed an update -bed & bathroom especially.
Payment was also a bit unorganized; proprietor did not know her own rate or whether or not payment was made yet.

The host couple was very kind otherwise.

Wonderful B&B; Wonderful Innkeeper

Getting away from Dublin for a trip to Western Ireland, we stayed four nights at the Torine House and enjoyed it immensely. Katherine was a gracious host who not only ran the premises, but also prepared breakfast (continental or Irish Full) for each guest, would arrange tours of The Ring of Kerry, and also was kind enough to hail us a cab. The inn itself is up the hill from Central Killorglin, a small town that is not too far away from Killarney. We hadn't rented a car and were concerned about walking up and down the hill, but it turned out to be a nice walk; only about a five to ten minute walk from the bus stop (in front of the Tourist Office and the library) that had routes to Killarney and Tralee.
