Kerry Coast Inn in Cahirciveen

A long evening with live music, would love to do it again.

We had a really positive experience at the Kerry Coast Hotel, and would definitely go back there for a stay. We only stayed one night, and got quite lucky as we had booked the stay for May holiday weekend, and as it turned out, there was a Folk Festival going on that weekend and there were live bands all over town but also at the pub of the hotel, which was lovely and loads of fun. We were completely shocked at how quiet it was in the rooms. The pub (and live music) was right next to the hotel with the rooms but we could barely hear anything when we went to the room, which was really lovely because we were quite tired after a long day of adventures in Kerry and the folk festival right after dinner. Dinner was nice and there were quite a few options. We ate in the pub and they even had a vegan option for me, which was wonderful and very handy, because we didn’t have to search the whole town to find something for me to enjoy as well. Same goes for breakfast. I had asked the day we arrived if there is a possibility for me to get a vegan breakfast in the morning and they accommodated me with no problem. We'd like to give a huge shoutout to Geraldine, who welcomed us and who made sure I was looked after when it came to having vegan food. She was absolutely brilliant and so sweet. She even remembered a brief conversation we had on a very busy night for her because of the festival, where I had told her that this trip was a surprise trip for my birthday, which was coming up on the Monday after the weekend. She surprised me after breakfast with a slice of cake and a candle in it, which was so unexpected because I had completely forgotten about our conversation about that. It made me so happy and was such a sweet gesture. She was a wonderful host and made us feel super welcome and looked after. The rooms were clean and the bed, covers, and pillows were super comfortable. We are looking forward to coming back, and have even recommended the place to family and friends.

Popped in here for a roast beef lunch 🤩🤩 Chef Shaun outdid himself. Food was amazing and promptly delivered by the chatty waiter Keiran jnr, who was full of the craic. Can't recommend this place enough! ❤️❤️

Wonderful and cosy place to stay on our cycling tour through Kerry. We only stayed for one night and genuinely didn’t want to leave. Everyone was so welcoming, kind, and helpful from the moment we arrived. Kieran Jnr sent us off with brilliant tips for the next stages of our trip and made sure we were leaving well fed with delicious food. Couldn’t recommend this place more — we’d love to come back.

Perfect, comfortable, and very clean room. The food was great and the service extremely friendly!

We had a fantastic stay at the Kerry Coast Hotel on the weekend of the 2nd/3rd of May to coincide with the Folk Fest Cahersiveen. From the minute we landed, our wonderful host Geraldine made sure all our needs were looked after and continued to check in with us throughout our stay at the newly refurbished hotel. The hotel itself is situated in the heart or Cahersiveen town and has the very cosy Franks Bar, with a fantastic few and drinks menu daily. Situated centrally, within walking distance to all local shops, pubs, eateries, which was very handy for the Folk Festival. Just a 5 mins walk brings you to the wonderful marina, with views out over bay to Begnish and Valentia Island. The rooms have been newly refurbished and finished to a high standard, with relaxing and comfortable decor, spotlessly clean, with a generous bathroom and shower facilities which was very welcome. The food in the old maritime themed bar was a great mix locally caught fresh seafood, the best of Irish beef, as well as tasty lunch bites to suit all tastes. Traditional music in the bar most nights. As a treat for one of the days, we visited the nearby Cuas Crom beach which is hidden away "over the water" via the old Castlequuin Bridge. The winding road brings you to a secluded beach which has a lovely small inlet for swimming. This is complimented by Skellig Sauna which is located at the beach and we spent an hour enjoying the facilities, looking out the window at the wonderful views, finishing off with a dip in the sea after emerging from the sauna. Kerry Coast Hotel is a wonderful hidden gem on the Ring of Kerry, having been extensively refurbished to the highest standard, it celebrated its 1st anniversary under new management over the past week and is ideally placed to become a tourist hub over the coming years, as the Greenway starts to bring more holidaymakers to this beautiful South Kerry location. We will be back again soon, Paul & Paula.

We stumbled upon this place by chance during our Ireland road trip and were very happy with it. The room was spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the bathroom large and lovely. The attached pub offers excellent food and, of course, drinks with live music – and the superb breakfast is also served there. We felt completely at home!

very cute Hotel, lovely Bar with great Food and Music --friendly staff and Management

Popped in today for some lunch with my 4 yr old son. Greeted straight away by Geraldine, so friendly and immediately she gave my son crayons and his menu had pictures to colour, this was a big hit!!! Food was delicious, really fresh, quick and just what we wanted. All staff were so friendly and it had a cosy atmosphere. The bathrooms are exceptional. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and really gorgeous soaps and hand creams. Small touches but they made a big difference. We will definitely be back soon.
