O'donnabhain's Guesthouse

On Henry Street in the heart of Kenmare, a tiny town on both the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Beara. Easy basecamp for touring — Kerry Airport is 48 km and Cork 96 km, ferries arrive into nearby Cork; shops, pubs and nightspots are about 100 m away and the bus station is a two‑minute walk.

This intimate 10‑room guesthouse was renovated in 2009 and is rated as a 3 Guesthouse by the Irish Tourist Board. Rooms are spacious and decorated in a simple country style with pine furniture, double or king beds, en suite shower and bath, TV (6 channels), hairdryer and tea/coffee facilities. Rooms sit at the rear and away from the bar and street so you get a quiet night's sleep.

Downstairs you'll find a bar, pub area, TV lounge and a restaurant, plus a breakfast room and guest lounge. The property also offers a reception, private rear car park and a cellar for storing bicycles, with internet access in public areas — perfect for guests ready to hit the coast and hills.

Internet access is available in public areas and in rooms; phones are modem‑friendly for basic connectivity.

An on‑site restaurant and bar serve breakfast and drinks downstairs. The guesthouse is popular for its standard of food and drink, making it a handy spot before you head out to explore Kerry.
