Latest Kenmare hotel reviews
miam Says: The Secret Garden Beauty Salon in Kenmare is the perfect way to pamper yourself on an afternoon in Kenmare. Ideally located in the centre of town, their treatment rooms are a haven for relaxation. Whether you treat yourself to a full body massage, the "Seaside Goddess" body...
Glen Inchaquin Park - fantastic scenery
matras Says: If you like a stirring walk, go to Glen Inchaquin Park and treat yourself to something special.
Dabs Says: Our 1st stop after leaving Kenmare was Glengarriff, 13 miles south of Kenmare, to visit Ilnacullin on Garnish Island. In 1910, a Belfast businessman, John Annan Bryce, purchased the island and developed it into a lovely botanic garden with the assistance of Harold Peto, an...
Dabs Says: The Ring of Kerry is the most popular drive in County Kerry, and probably all of Ireland based on the number of people we saw doing it, and the Dingle Peninsula to the north of the Ring of Kerry the second most popular drive but we decided to skip that in favor of the Beara...
Dabs Says: I thought one of the most interesting parts of driving around the Beara Peninsula was the Healy Pass (R574) which meanders up through the Caha Mountains, connecting the towns of Adrigole in County Cork and Lauragh in County Kerry. The route with the best views is from...
beingthere Says: Oh my God!! While walking from Killarney to Kenmare on the old Killarney road, my friend & I were so thrilled but tired from our hike ( the scenery is only amazing by the way) we happened to pass me-time (great name)beauty salon and saw a sign outside for pedicure etc.... We...

littlebush Says: A 2 minute walk from town is the Limestone Lodge, a new looking Bed and Breakfast. The rooms are spacious, ensuite with tv, but being the fat pig I am, I wasnt inpressed with the breakfast - an egg and 2 bacon isnt gonna set me up for the day! costs 56 euro for the double.
Dabs Says: The restaurants in Kenmare and Killarney were more expensive than we found in the rest of Ireland, presumably because they are two of the more tourist oriented locations. We had a walk through town looking at some of the menus and we settled on Foley's, in part because of a...
littlebush Says: The Coachmans pub does a lovely bit of steak for 16 euros!
littlebush Says: After a few beers with ya steak in Coachmans, head around the corner to O'Connors where you'll meet some locals havin' a typical Irish conversation. You'll go in for a quick one and end up coming out several hours later...well, we did!
Dabs Says: The Beara Peninsula is much less traveled than the Ring of Kerry so we really didn't worry much about which way we were going. As with the Ring of Kerry, do not think that you can, or will want to, drive the 137km (85 mile) ring at 100km (62 mile) per hour. It may not sound...
Dabs Says: We saw the sign for Blue Pool Ferry first so that's the one we used, it was 10€ per person round trip out to the island. We were the only ones on the ferry at 10am, the ride takes only about 10 minutes and they slow down to take you by the seals basking on the nearby rocks....
Dabs Says: Our hotel, Virginia's Guesthouse, was on Henry Street, one of the main streets in Kenmare. We didn't see any parking in front of it so we drove up the street, turned right on Main Street and right again on Shelbourne Street and on the left side on the street there was a...
fotos4web Says: On the weekend nearest to 15th August each year is the Kenmare Horse Fair in County Kerry.The centre of the town is jam-packed full of stalls ,booths and fortune-telling caravans and the area around Fair Green is roped off for the horse market there are horses of all kinds...
Truly Rugged Ireland not yet been commercialised
pmallinson Says: Truly Rugged Ireland Not Yet Been Commercialised If its real taste of Ireland your after then the Ring of Beara really does knock spots off its nearby rival (the infamous Ring if Kerry) both these routes basically cross at Kenmare in County Kerry so easy really to compare...
challenger Says: Bonane Heritage Park is a community run project and charges a ridiculously low entrance fee of just €2.00… which is pretty much unheard of in this day and age for Ireland and borders at being practically free of charge. The volunteers who are manning the entrance booth all...
AR76 Says: Who could think of a more appropriate name for this phenomenon??It's in Kenmare,It's a bunch of stones,They form a circle.That's it, basically. The story goes that, just like Stonehenge, this stone formation had something to do with druids and sun dials (???).Well, having...

I discovered Bonane Heritage Park pretty much by accident. Having previously never even heard about it, I came across it purely by chance when passing through Kenmare. A little research online showed...

An easy 5 minute walk from the centre of town, the Stone Circle should not be missed. When we went, our daughter Rebecca, not usually a superstitious person, refused to touch the rocks. An Irish...

Kenmare, in County Kerry was a surprisingly charming town with typical Irish pubs and quiet streets. I stopped for an afternoon and night.
