We stayed for five nights at Friars Glen in April. What a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. Mary and John were the best host. They made you feel right at home with a pot of tea just after you settle in. Bridget served the best breakfast with a variety of great choices. Tried something different each morning. Living room is very... More

We stayed at Friars Glen in August 2012. We could not have been more pleased. This was everything we were expecting in a Bed and Breakfast - a beautiful room in a beautiful inn, warm, hospitable hosts, and delicious breakfasts. This B&B is ranked #1 on Trip Advisor for a reason. Mary and Bridget are wonderful people, and they treat... More

We stayed for two nights at Friars Glen. John and Mary are gracious and helpful innkeepers. By the time you are finished with breakfast, Bridget has your whole day planned with helpful hints about the area. What makes the experience at Friars Glen memorable is the inn's extraordinary setting and sitting room with a cheery fire and comfy chairs and... More

We only stayed one night in beautiful Killarney - wish we could have stayed another night at least. Friars Glen is fantastic - a bit more pricy than the average B & B but a fantastic location, huge comfortable rooms and a huge breakfast. We would definitely stay here again if we got the chance and spend more time exploring... More

From our arrival to our departure, every aspect of this B&B is wonderful! The room was beautiful, the morning breakfast is superb. Much attention is given to each guest upon arrival and throughout your stay.

Cannot say enough about FG. John had warm fire going both evenings we were there. Everything seems new and fresh. The food and view at breakfast were wonderful as we're the other guests we met. Bridget is breakfast server and the 'official' tourism expert at FG. She made our day trip around the Ring absolutely perfect. Her advice and maps...and... More

This was my 5th stay at Friar's Glen and I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Killarney. Friar's Glen is just off the main road and is set in the Killarney National Park. The breakfast room is all glass, and it is just wonderful to sit and have breakfast surrounded by beautiful scenery. This time, the red deer came out... More
