Just returned from a 2 night stay at this large lovely B&B about 5 minutes walk into Kenmare. I have to say it was lovely. Large , warm and comfortable room tastefully decorated, with a king size bed . Nice bathroom, plenty of hot water for a soak in the bath. Great breakfast & the hosts were all very nice... More

I arrived at The Lodge only to be warmly greeted by the owner Rose Quill. I had originally planned to stay for one night but after the wonderful hospitality and friendly yet approachable staff I was not long changing my mind and ended up staying an extra two nights!! The setting was impeccable with a clever contrast. The outside was... More

Having just spent three nights in the charming town of kenmare I was overwhelmed by the hospitality of the owner of the Lodge, Rose Quill.

I found the accommodation was elegantly decorated .I particularly appreciated the breakfast and I loved the homemade bread and... More

This was, without a doubt, one of the worst b&b's we have stayed at anywhere, let alone in Ireland. Our room was dark and drab. We were promised a King bed, but it was only a Queen (we were told it was indeed an "Irish King", a bold-faced lie, because we had Kings everywhere else). And the mattress was so... More

Hello, A most awful review has been put up on the lodge which has already caused several cancellations to my property. If it is not removed immediately I will have to take action against trip advisor for losses caused to my business to date.I spoke to my lawyer this morning and explained to him that those guests never complained while...

Just outside of town, but close enough to stroll to, The Lodge was the perfect place to stay in Kenmare. This guesthouse was modern on the outside with old world charm on the inside. The best part of our stay wasn't just the place itself but the lovely family that ran the inn, the Quills, headed by the lovely and... More

Our room was very large with fine furniture and a comfortable bed. Water pressure was very good. Staff were helpful and gracious. The only problem is that if you get a room near the mechanical room, you can hear the pump go off and on all night. The location is not right in town. We drove the short distance to... More

My husband and I stumbled upon The Lodge when the Rick Steves recommended B&Bs in Kenmare were full. And what a treat!! Rosemarie was a delightful host and although this was one of the more expensive B&Bs we stayed in, it was also one of the nicest. The room was gorgeous and the mattress was great. Breakfast in the morning... More

What an enchanting place to stay! We were in Kenmare for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay at The Lodge. We were treated with the warmest hospitality imaginable. The rooms are large and comfortable, and we felt like it was worth the money to stay at such a nice place. The breakfast was excellent and they were also happy... More

We stayed here aug 2010. Kenmare is a great town and this guesthouse is a short walk from the center of the town. The rooms and bathroom are fine and Irish breakfast was decent. All in all satisfactory. More
