The Scarriff Inn is a must-stop destination on the Ring of Kerry, famous for what it calls ["Ireland's Best Known View"]. This family-run spot in Caherdaniel overlooks the stunning Kenmare Bay and Derrynane.
The Experience
The View: Breathtaking, "million-dollar" vistas of the Atlantic coast and lush green hills are the main draw.
The Vibe: It operates as a busy, well-organized stop primarily for tour groups, featuring a cafeteria-style setup designed to get large crowds in and out efficiently.
The Food: While some find the quality average or "tourist-priced," others highly recommend the Seafood Chowder, Irish Lamb Stew, and Shepherd’s Pie.
Added Perks: There is a large gift shop filled with local souvenirs and Skellig-themed items, as well as a cozy fireplace for blustery days.
Pro Tip: If you want a window seat with a view, try to arrive either very early or late to avoid the peak tour bus hours
