We stayed at the Hawthorn House in Kenmare last week. Mary, the hostess, was so friendly and funny, really made you feel at home. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The location of the B&B is perfect, you are right in a charming town close to Ring of Kerry, Killarney and the Beara peninsula. The food in Kenmare is exceptional... More

Mary at Hawthorn was brilliant. She could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Location is great, parking was easy and the breakfast was grand. For a great stay this is the perfect spot. Thanks again Mary! Jeff, Jaime and little Samantha More

Good central location, but limited parking and a lot of nosie at night. Breakfast rushed and not a great choice. Rooms small and a musty smell. Hosts busy but seemed quite nice. Stay here if you want to be in town but do not mind the noise. More

Hawthorne House is located right at the top of the hill in Kenmare and is easy walking distance to all of the local restaurants. The rooms were large, recently remodled and very quiet. Great breakfast! There is plenty of on-site parking. Besgt of all, the innkeeper is really great and very helpful. I would stay here again if I was... More

After reading the reviews, I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Mary! We came in fairly late and base on Rick Steves book, tried the Hawthorne House. We were greeted pleasantly, the room was a nice size, clean and we had a very peaceful night in a comfy bed. The breakfast was very good and I think probably the best... More

A wonderful home run by a wonderful woman. Mary made us feel at home immediately. The room was warm and very clean. Breakfast was excellent. It is downtown with easy access to (and more importantly easy return from) the restaurants, pubs and shops. We would definitely return to Hawthorn House again. More

I agree with previous reviews; this is a very good BandB Great rooms with lots of space and good shower, Loverly hosts (all our children gave her a big hug when we left after two nights), good breakfast with plunger coffee. Car parking out the back. Walk easily to lots of lovely pubs for dinner. Cant do better than this. More

When we arrived in Kenmare it was the first (and only) time the B&B we selected was fully booked. But the lady there gave us the address of Hawthorn House. And we didn´t regret it. Mary, the landlady of Hawthorn House, is extraordinary friendly. The rooms are tidy, big enough and free WiFi is available. The breakfast was really fantastic.... More

This was our 4th stay at Hawthorn House. Mary is one of our favorite hosts with a very outgoing and fun personality. The location is excellent in the heart of Kenmare and a perfect base to use for the Ring of Kerry. Rooms are very clean and breakfast was great. Looking forward to staying there again! More
