We had a most lovely stay at Fern Rock B&B.
Beautiful place with a great homemade breakfast that even included special requests. Our host Irma, was so welcoming and very responsive to anything we needed. She also gave us great recommendations for what to do and see and great local spots. This enhanced our holiday greatly. We were sad to leave such a special place.

Picturesque and quiet location, with very helpful owner, good sized bedroom, huge guest lounge, good range of breakfast options and lots of helpful advice about how to spend time as a tourist in that part of Ireland. Only little glitch was the wi-fi but that was fixed by rebooting the router, so just like home ;o)

The property is very well located to access the Dingle Peninsula, The ring of Kerry and Killarney. We arrived in Ireland via Rosslare and the drive over is relatively easy and quick using N72. You will receive a very warm welcome and your room will be clean and the bed comfortable. Our room had a lovely view over Dingle. There is a choice of breakfast starting with 'help yourself' cereals and juices. There is then a choice of a traditional cooked breakfast, salmon and scrambled eggs and a more basic 'vegetarian' option. The salmon was excellent, portions generous and whilst the 'cooked' breakfast was nice and fresh I think I might have expected some produce that was more obviously 'local' and 'artisan'. Ireland has some great bacon and sausage and I don't think that this was it...I could be wrong (hands up). It's the only improvement I would suggest...if it's properly local say it...I am middle class aren't I!. We received lots of very helpful advice both about local restaurants...the golf club has wonderful views and OK pub like food...and about travel around Kerry and Dingle especially about avoiding the tourist buses!! This is a great place to stay overall...genuinely I recommend it for your stay in the far South West.

Clean & comfortable B&B. Breakfast was delicious. Irma, the hostess, was darling. She had great suggestions for dining in town & places nearby to visit. Each morning she asked her guests where they were planning to visit, then she showed them on the map the best route to take & interesting points along the way.

Comfortable, impeccably clean bed and breakfast close to the route of the Ring of Kerry, Killarney and Killorglin. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable and offers ideas about how best to spend the day, depending on what you'd like to do and, of course, the weather. The breakfast is excellent and choices of cooked breakfast are offered as well as cereals, toast, etc. Guests also have access to complementary tea, coffee and biscuits and also a lounge, so once back at the property you don't have to stay only in your room. There is ample parking for guests. I would strongly recommend this property if you are looking to stay somewhere quiet and also if it is your first time in the area and would benefit from guidance on how to make the most of your time there.

Good Little Bed & Breakfast on the Ring of Kerry

Although the bathroom was not up to date, like having a sink with separate hot and cold water faucets instead of a single faucet that mixes the hot and cold water, the bathroom was otherwise acceptable.
Other that this the hostess was customer friendly and cooked a good breakfast for us, and gave us some helpful suggestions on our sightseeing that day.

Lovely b&b. Close to Killarney and ring. Owner prefers cash versus credit card which may not be on the booking site. We were able to withdraw from bank atm using debit card at nearby bank no problem. Although another couple of b&b’s had similar preferences and not noted on the booking site, so that may be becoming more common. Doesn’t hurt to verify with owner via email beforehand.

Feels like home.

Overall our experience was good. Our hostess was not around when we arrived, was checked in by her husband, who seemed pretty laid back. Irma came to introduce herself while we were watching tv in the common area. She is a terrific, friendly lady that does her best to see that your travels are enjoyable. Once she sees that you're about done with breakfast, she comes by to suggest a route for the day and places to see, things to do. Same thing with the morning your're leaving....she suggests the best route and anything along the way.
The bedroom seemed a bit dated,but it was clean and very comfortable.

La proprietaria di casa è davvero una persona speciale, molto accogliente e ospitale. Ci ha dato tante informazioni utili sui luoghi da visitare. Lo stile della casa e dell' host rispecchia l' ospitalità di un tempo, la casa della nonna in tutto e per tutto. Avevamo una camera familiare con un matrimoniale e due singoli. Il bagno un po' piccolo, gli arredi di un tempo, ma è stato un soggiorno molto piacevole, soprattutto per la pace in cui è immersa la struttura. Colazione con piatto a scelta preparato dalla signora, tè, latte, caffè, pane, marmellata, scones, burro.

Wir wurden herzlich von Irma empfangen. Sie hat ein lustiges Wesen und hat uns Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben. Frühstück konnte man auswählen und war ausreichend. Ich hätte mir auch etwas Käse gewünscht. Als wir wegen eines Ausfluges die normale Frühstückszeit nicht einhalten konnten, hat uns Irma dennoch eine Kleinigkeit gerichtet und wir konnten uns auch selbst einen Kaffee bereiten. Im Hinblick auf das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis liegt dieses B&B an letzter Stelle unserer bisherigen Herbergen. Wir haben uns dennoch wohlgefühlt.

Irma is a very nice hostess and the accomodation is at a beautiful and quiet location. Room with a view. Shower was all right for me. nice breakfast room. No luxury at all, dated '80 and a small room. Twin room, no privacy because guests pass close at your big window and - off course - look into your room. Had to close the curtains. You can hear the guests and the floor above clearly. Brochures in the room from years ago. Breakfast from 8.30, not earlier. Simple breakfast. No choise for cheese, yoghurt, fresh fruit etc. only if you ask for it.
Maybe I am spoilt with Irish Farm B&B. Everything home made there, bread, marmalade, scones, pancakes, fresh fruit salad, fresh pressed orange juice, local cheeses etc.

Bon pour une nuit.

Nous avons passé une bonne nuit dans ce B&B... l'hôtesse était très gentille... Le petit déjeuner très agréable à prendre en regardant les oiseaux picorer dans leur mangeoire... Petit bémol : la chambre n'est pas isolée pour le bruit et nous entendons toutes les conversations des autres personnes dans la maison, jusqu'au coucher de tout le monde... Pour un restaurant, il faut faire environ 4 à 5 km, sinon il n'y a rien d'autre...
