Ideal location for exploring the Gap of Dunloe. Clean and well decorated room. Charming host . Good breakfast More

My GPS in Ireland sucked so it was a bit tough to find the place, but it was an adorable little house and the host was very nice. The room was a bit small, but it was clean and served our purpose. My friend and I had a delicious breakfast the next morning and were on our way with a... More

We loved the purple heather. Very very gracious hosts. the location was perfect. We hiked the Gap of Dunloe, and we were about an hour drive to Skellig. Our hosts dried out clothes, without even asking. Full and very good Irish Breakfast. All in all a flawless setting and good experience. More

We stayed at this bed and breakfast during a very cold 2 nights in Killarney, with an outside temperature of 30 - 40 degrees.

Plus they had heated blankets. Bathrooms were nice and new with power showers and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was very good. Nice sitting... More

We spent two days at the Purple Heather and I wished we would have spent more time there. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. Tim and Nora our hosts were wonderful people. The B&B was in the heart of the area of Ireland I love most of all. More

My wife, daughter and I stayed at the Purple Heather for 4 nights at the end of June. After a long drive from Dublin we were given a very warm welcome from Tim, the owner, which immediately made us feel right at home. We were extremely pleased with the rooms and especially the chance to unpack after a long flight... More

Thankfully, I only spent one night there. When I arrived at 3:30 pm, the owner - Tim - asked what I wanted for breakfast the next day. What??? Oh well, I gave him my order. Room was damp, musty-smelling. No carpeting nor throw rugs on the floor. Walls scuffed and badly in need of paint. Obviously added on to the... More
