The Fertha in Cahirciveen

14/06/2026: A long evening with live music, would love to do it again.

02/06/2026: 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.
