Easy check in w the bartender. We were on the third floor, which was a quick walk up the stairs, I don’t think there is an elevator / lift, which wasn’t an issue for us. The town is pretty small and the pub/inn is right in the middle of town. We were able to find parking 1 street over. We ended up having dinner in the pub which was decent, not great. We stayed for the live music which was nice. Breakfast is included so we headed down to the pub where coffee, tea and juices are available. They have a limited menu but were very accommodating in making some changes. The service was great - friendly Irish hospitality.

We enjoyed our stay, staff were very friendly, breakfast was wonderful. We had to rearrange things in our room to be able to accomodate the tea tray offered. A little less in terms of lamps and large wardrobes, and more thought into what is needed by travellers to accomodate their needs. The wardrobe was excessive and took up so much space. The staff were exceptional, and we enjoyed our stay. Due to room layout not sure if we would choose again. Position was great, parking in street overnight for free was a bonus.

We thought it would be a fun experience to stay above a pub while in Kenmare. And it was! We were right in the heart of the town and it was easy to walk everywhere. Parking was a snap---right on the street. (We were there in October). The music in the pub went until midnight on Saturday, but otherwise it ended at 11:30. Not a problem for us. Room was not fancy, but clean and spacious.

WE LOVED THE QUANTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY, THE BAR BELOW AND THE SHOPPING AND SITES ALL AROUND THE PROPERTY. THE FURNITURE, ROOM AND BED WERE OUTDATED BUT IT LED TO AN OLD FASHIONED EVENING IN A CUTE SMALL TOWN. THE STAFF TREATED US GREAT AND EVEN GOT US A FAB TO HELP THE ROOM GET COOL.
