Rockcrest House

Our favorite B&B we have ever stayed in. We home based at Rockcrest House for 3 nights on our 12 day trip to Ireland because it was a perfect location for exploring the Beara and Iverage peninsulas, Ring of Kerry, Killarney and the lovely town of Kenmare. There is so much pride of ownership and you feel the Irish family history throughout your stay. Miriam's brown bread is her mothers recipe from way back and not to be missed at breakfast each day. (See the special picture of Miriam and her 8 sisters in the sitting room) Most of the family has stayed in the Kenmare area and if you are lucky you will see grandchildren popping in and out looking for a nice meal. Super private and quiet location and you can walk to everything in Kenmare. As many point out, the breakfasts are really second to none, rooms are generous and super clean. I highly recommend for anyone and can easily say you will not be disappointed with your accommodations, location and the family that is living their passion for hospitality. We look forward to staying at Rockcrest House again if we are in the area. The Porters Denver, Colorado USA

This B&B is in a perfect location, so close that you can easily walk to the main streets where you will find great restaurants, shopping, anything you need. It’s also far enough away that you don’t hear any street noise. The house and yard are beautiful, with great space to sit outside and enjoy if the weather is good! Lots of free parking. The rooms are very spacious, so no problems with tripping over your luggage in the night. Very clean and comfortable, I had such a great sleep. Delicious breakfast with yummy press coffee and many options. We would definitely stay here again. The hosts are lovely and she gave us recommendations on where to eat, although sadly they were closed when we wandered down.

Beautiful place, very clean. The breakfast was wonderful. When we got to our room, a little boy came to our door. He was five years old and we were told his name was Johnny. He politely extended his hand and shook hands with my husband and “pleased to meet you,”. This made a great impression and we will remember Johnny and the friendly people at Rockcrest House.

Very nice and comfortable accommodations in a beautiful setting with great and helpful hosts. Also, it was the best prepared Irish breakfast that I had in my two week travels in Ireland. Location in Kenmare is also very convenient and an easy walk to town.

We had a wonderful experience at Rockcrest House, David and Marion are the perfect hosts. Minutes walk from downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood with sheep across the street. We had a prime room with view as does the public area, and the breakfasts were the best of our trip, featuring Marians’s homemade brown bread. The hosts were full of tips as to where to eat or what to see, I can recommend without reservation.

This was our second time staying at Rockcrest. It is a beautiful home, with plenty of room. It is short walk into town. It has great WIFI, very comfortable beds and sufficient parking. The best part of Rockcrest is David and Marian our hosts. They balance making you feel at home and giving you privacy . David has great tips for what to see and Marian has great instincts for what you might want or need. They both go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. I have to mention the breakfast. I think it is my husband’s favorite part. Marian provides several delicious choices. We are looking forward to our next stay.
