Mid-Kerry Stay.
Great location in a small beach town. Lovely owners whom were kind to chat with. Dinner in house was the best Italian I’ve had and I’ve traveled all around Italy. Wonderful place to stay a night in the middle of the Ring of Kerry. Coffee at the Fox Coffee wagon was the best in Ireland.

Friendliness of the owners. Great food and room was excellent. Would recommend to others. They even gave me a 220 adapter. Cheers

The pillows could use replacing, as they were quite flat. Other than that it was a great value. The innkeepers were very kind and welcoming. Dining was delicious

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately due to the plumbing issues had to move to another hotel.
elina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very disappointed in the service and the property. The staff did not seem to want to welcome or interact with us and the pictures were quite misleading. The place itself was not particularly historic or charming and was quite far from the waterfront without any views in sight.
Shabnum, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We were not expected even booked a stay 6-7 weeks
There were no any communications from the property owners, we have arrived during check in window and the owners were surprised they have guests. The room was clean, ok comfortable, the lady seems irritated, maybe had a bad day.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

a beautiful seaside village well off the beaten path. I don't recommend the shortcut thru the mountains unless 22 miles of 8 ft wide road appeals to you. The couple who own and operate old cable house are outstanding. Breakfast was excellent, they have a nice little bar, and they make you feel very welcome. It is a couple hundred meter walk to get to "downtown"...very small. My only criticism is the hardware, doors, fixtures, etc. are well used and in some cases loose.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not what I chose.
The owners were great. However we were given two separate rooms upon check in. One with a restroom and one without. This was not what I had chosen. It was terribly inconvenient to have to get up in the middle of the night and unlock my door, go across the hall and unlock restroom door each time I needed to use the restroom.
