26/09/2026: Very disappointing experience and a complete lack of hospitality.
We travelled for around two hours specifically to visit this restaurant, coming from very far away and genuinely looking forward to having dinner here. When we arrived, roughly half of the tables appeared to be empty, and there were also available tables outside. Despite this, we were not offered a seat or any alternative solution. We were simply told that the next available time would be in about 1.5 hours.
What disappointed us most was not even the waiting time, but the attitude of the staff. There was no effort to help, no attempt to suggest another option, and not even the slightest sense of hospitality. We were essentially dismissed without any concern.
For a place that works in hospitality, this was especially surprising. I would not recommend visiting this restaurant, simply because it did not feel like they were interested in welcoming us as guests.
26/08/2026: Goregous restaurant. We eat there as a large group and all our meals were delicious. From Crab Claws, Scallops, Sea Bass, to kids steak it was all excellent . Welcoming, friendly service. Wouldnt hesitate to go back

Kenmare Ice Cream
Kenmare
23/08/2026: Nice small ice cream shop. Very friendly staff. Daughter has celiac and they managed it super well. Immediately fresh spoon but also from a fresh box to keep her safe. Made her day!
15/07/2026: It was ok, I found the ice cream kind of watery like not as creamy as you would want it to be. I do think Murphys is nicer and they are similar in price. I had two flavours and another evening the soft whip. The service is good.

Heights Hotel Killarney
Killarney
03/07/2026: I really enjoyed our stay at The Heights. My room was very cute and clean. The staff were all incredibly friendly. Special shoutout to Ken from The Mill Bar. He is really knowledgeable about local whiskey and helped us with a last minute reservation at a Michelin rated restaurant in Dingle.
In my opinion, the hotel has the perfect location, only a 4 minute drive to the center of town but also in route to the national park and the Ring of Kerry. I would definitely stay here again. ššš
Tip: when traveling in the summer, ask for a fan at check-in.
27/06/2026: The rooms were grand overall. The only downside was the heat-it was roasting while we were there, so it got a bit uncomfortable at times. Thankfully there was a fan in the room, which made a big difference.
We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was absolutely lovely. What really stood out though were the cocktails made by Alex. You could actually see the care he put into making them look special. He took his time decorating mine, and it genuinely felt like he wanted every guest to enjoy the experience. Fair play to him!
Alex is a brilliant barman-always smiling, always in good form, even when there wasnāt anyone at the bar. And to be fair⦠hes not hard on the eyes either! š
Would definitily recommend this hotel if youāre looking for a lovely place to relax and have a great time. Weāll happily be back.

The Bold Thady Quill
Kenmare
09/06/2026: I didnāt stay here but the staff helped me out with a problem I had for 3 days while in town. Offered me a choice of coffee for free, and a lovely lobby to wait in. The management here is top notch.
04/06/2026: Such a beautiful hotel and welcoming staff. We have a guide dog and they had a fluffy bed for him. The breakfast is delicious and you cannot beat a better location in Kenmare!

25/08/2026: Good food prepared quickly, the only downside was communication problems with the staff.
19/07/2026: Excellent service from the staff. Fast service. The quality of the pizza is what you'd expect from this type of place. Plenty of toppings.

The Green Door

01/09/2026: Excellent vegan choices - not always an easy thing to find in a non-vegan specific cafe. Our selections were delicious. Lovely little buzzy cafe ... highly recommend!
18/08/2026: Busy and interesting cafe in the heart of Clonakilty. Well worth a visit. Good kids play area and spacious tables. Great coffee.

Courtney's
Killarney
09/09/2026: We came to the pub to listen to music and weren't disappointed! Great atmosphere and the two musicians were fantastic!!! Just let yourself be carried away by the music... And the pub itself is special - a great pub just as it should be!
17/08/2026: A very, very bad experience. Terrible service. I strongly advise against going to this place.

Park
Kenmare
20/06/2026: Our stay fell well short of expectations for the price we paid (800 per night). If we had paid half of this price, our review would have been more positive but the service levels were way off what you would expect. On arrival, we were left to park our car and deal with our luggage. We had outside activities booked, the fishing was completely confused and the hotel staff didnāt seem to know what was happening. Dinner at the hotel was lovely but the service unhelpful and unprofessional (examples: when I asked how the crab was served the manager did not know, when we asked what cheeses were served the response was ācheeses from around hereā). The rooms are nice but not up to the standard of the price, outdated. Lastly the spa was closed and we were pressured to order food in the bar before 9pm (remember this is a hotel at 800 per night)
We were told by friends after that management and ownership had changed in recent years and that it was much better before that.
29/05/2026: Thereās a free art tour given at 5pm which was incredible - Jonathanās knowledge was very impressive and just an all round great bloke. Wouldāve given a hefty tip if we had any cash! Followed by a few of the best cocktails Iāve ever had in my life - the 1958. Tastes like a spicy marg, looks like a martini. Stunning hotel and the staff were all class, weād definitely come to stay next time.

The Diner
An daingean
25/10/2026: Really disappointed with the breakfast from here. We both had the full Irish, and at ā¬14 to get two small cocktail sausages and no beans or hash browns is crazy. Probably the worst full Irish I have ever had . We had to ask twice for more butter and I had to get up and get cutlery myself (no one brought it). The service was terrible, no chat or liveliness. I got the impression they didnt care too much at all. Overall just a very bad experience. Iām not one to leave bad reviews but this was beyond poor. If you want a good breakfast, go down to James Longs. Same price and much much nicer overall.
24/10/2026: The food was good and quick. No special atmosphere. And grabbing something tasty quickly was perfectly fine.
