Oldchurch House

Kenmare

The most classic of Irish B&Bs in the heart of the beautiful Ring of Kerry, set in the countryside but still very close to the centre of Kenmare, within a 15-minute walk or a couple by car.

The perfect prototype of an Irish B&B.

Had another great pre-Christmas weekend in Kenmare last month, staying as always with Helen and Frank at Oldchurch House. Been staying at Oldchurch House now for 20 years and wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else. I’ve written quite a few reviews about previous visits (have a look!) and, although I’m repeating myself, I can’t recommend Oldchurch House highly enough. Great location, superb accommodation, good value for money and the warmest of hosts. Kenmare is an attractive and lively town with lots of nice places to eat and drink, and is perfectly located for the Ring of Kerry or the more rugged and wild Beara Peninsula. What’s not to like?! 

Festive fun in the Kingdom of Kerry!

Kenmare is an excellent base to discover the wild rugged beauty of the Beara Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry. The town itself is lively and interesting with plenty of great pubs  and restaurants. 

I have been visiting Old Church for about 10 years now and Helen and Frank are the perfect hosts and be only too happy to give you recommendations. There is always a warm welcome and the house is bright and spacious and with great Christmas decoration (well i do always go in December). They are  lively, helpful the   and informative and what they don’t know about the goings on in Kenmare is not worth knowing!
The house is opposite an abandoned church (hence the name) and the back rooms have wonderful views of the mountains.  

If you are planning to visit Co Kerry this is definitely the place to stay.

excellent B&B in a lively town

If you are looking for a lovely little place to stay on a visit to Kenmare and the wild Atlantic coast or as a base to explore this part of Ireland you could do no wrong than book yourself a night or two here.   Kenmare is fantastically placed for touring the Beara peninsula and this bed and breakfast just a short walk (10mins downhill) into town.  Directly opposite an old ruined church you will have beautiful countryside views as you eat your breakfast.  The rooms are comfortable and well appointed and you will have a lovely big full Irish breakfast (or something smaller if you prefer).  Helen and Frank are the most welcoming hosts.  You won’t be disappointed if you stay here.

A perfect place to stay

We had a great stay at the Oldchurch.  There are no "cons" - everything is a plus, including:

-friendly hosts, Frank & Helen, who gladly share expertise for dining and activities (loved the recommendations for driving the Gap of Dunloe and eating at Foley's)
-beautifully decorated rooms in a really beautiful setting (loved the view from the back!)
-10 minute walk to main street with lots of choice for eating; not much further for a nice walk to the marina
-comfortable bed and fast wifi
-tasty breakfast with plenty of choice and generous portions

There are a number of possible activities in the area and we easy could have stayed longer than two nights - we highly recommend staying here.

An Elegant B&B

We had an unforgettable stay in Ireland, including particularly the days with Helen and Frank in Kenmare. Helen welcomed us early in the morning not only with an extensive breakfast at a lovingly covered table, but also with many interesting recommendations for tours to the nearby and further afield (depending on the weather).

Warm hosts

I thoroughly recomend for a peaceful stay a room towards the golf course. The noise coming from the main road, being also a straight road with cars passing at speed, is not to be overheard even with closed windows.

Nice rooms towards the golf course

This was hands down the best B&B we have ever stayed in! Helen and her husband were the perfect hosts and their home is amazing. Every room is spacious and welcoming, with beds that offer a wonderful night's sleep. Breakfast is served overlooking the golf course and the whole atmosphere is very relaxing. Kenmare is a short ten to fifteen minute walk away and is a charming little town filled with all sorts of history. Helen gave us great suggestions for the best places to eat dinner and offered wonderful directions and travel tips for our days' adventures. We will most definitely stay there again!

Delightful stay in Kenmare!

Kenmare is one of our favourite areas of Ireland and this b&b is not far from downtown, about a 15 min brisk walk. Wonderful, friendly hosts. Beautiful home. Patio behind the house to enjoy the lovely gardens and a little Jameson at the end of the day. Cash only, so be prepared.

Charming!

First visit to Kenmare and this B&B hit it out of the park. Helen and Frank are wonderful hosts! Everything about our stay was perfect!! The travel tips were spot on and the full Irish breakfast selection was wonderful! We stayed 3 nights. Location was perfect! 10 min. walk or a quick drive to town! Super quiet and comfy beds. We hope to come back again someday! Look no more. Book this B & B now! You won’t be disappointed!
