4 best bed & breakfasts in Kenmare

Bed & breakfasts in Kenmare suit travellers who want a small-scale, personal stay with breakfast included and a more homely feel than a standard hotel. In practice, that usually means fewer rooms, a quieter atmosphere, and hosts who are closely involved in the day-to-day running of the property. The best options combine comfort, good service and a strong guest rating, which is exactly what stands out in this Kenmare collection.

Kenmare itself is a good fit for this style of stay. It is a compact, welcoming base for exploring the surrounding area, and bed-and-breakfast accommodation works well for couples, solo travellers and anyone planning a relaxed short break. It also suits guests who prefer to start the day with breakfast on site before heading out, rather than relying on a larger, more impersonal hotel setup.

The list below includes a range of choices, from simple, well-rated stays such as Gortnaboul House and Laburnum B&B to higher-rated favourites like Valhalla BnB, Ashfield and 2 Mile Lodge. Misty Bay, Grenane Heights and The Rose Garden add further variety, giving you options across different comfort levels while still keeping the emphasis on a friendly, B&B-style experience. If you want a stay that feels personal, practical and well reviewed, Kenmare has plenty to offer.
