Algret House Bed & Breakfast

Killarney

My favorite accomodations in Ireland. Greta was such a great host! She was attentive, helpful and super nice! Her Irish breakfast was delicious, my favorite one while in Ireland. Not to mention she had fresh scones every morning! The room was cosy and warm. I highly recommend!!

Highly recommend!!!

We stayed at Algret House in February for a night, and it was a wonderful experience. We drove the Ring of Kerry that day and were pleased that we had until 7pm to check in. Upon our arrival, Greta greeted us and she was a delightful, kind person. She explained everything we needed to know about the house and the things to do in Killarney. Our room was perfect with a view of the church spires in town, it was so comfortable after our long day. I the morning, the breakfast was delicious. We had the Irish breakfast (cooked by Mr. Doyle) as well as the assortment of cold options that were laid out buffet style. We were so happy to have a lovely conversation with Greta about her upbringing and the changes that have come to Killarney over the years. The entire experience was such a delight that we hope to return again. We can’t recommend Algret House enough! It added so much to our already amazing trip to Killarney ❤️

A joy

I seem to have had a different experience than most of the people who have posted.  My welcome was not friendly at all, it was rushed and not very welcoming.  My exit was the same way, very rushed by Greta.  The doors to the rooms are so heavy they are difficult to open.  However,  the food was good. I would not stay here again. 

Not a good experience. 

 Greta and Al are excellent hosts and a perfect complement! to each other Their breakfast is wonderful, my wife enjoy every dish, including the black pudding, a version of the blood sausage from Argentina.  Do to my health condition, I required a low cholesterol diet do to my previous awful diet. They kindly prepared special breakfast for me!  Egg whites, non-fat milk, berries, etc. Rooms nice an super clean. Great example of Irish people this wonderful couple.

Do not look any more

This is an outstanding B&B situated on a quiet clos, with impressive views of the Killarney National Park and an easy ten/fifteen minutes stroll from the town centre. 
From the moment we walked through the front door and were welcomed by Greta we both knew that we had selected the right place to stay.
The bedroom was comfortable and we slept well for all three nights of our visit. 
Greta provided us with plenty of information about Killarney and the surrounding area.
Her husband, Alfie cooks a mighty fine breakfast that set us up for the great walks that the Kerry countryside offers.
And of course it would be wrong not to mention Greta’s cherry scones which fuelled us up so well whilst enjoying the sights and sounds that were is such easy reach.

Home from home!

What we liked best about Algret House was Greta’s warm hospitality and the proximity to the center of Killarney.  You’re away from the tourist scrum, but it’s only a ten minute walk into town.  Breakfasts were also good, and our room was very quiet.  The B&B isn’t located in the most attractive neighborhood—it’s in a treeless suburban development.  But, as I say, it’s a short walk into town.  The room was fine, although it was rather small and cramped.  The best thing was really Greta: she gave us excellent advice on restaurants and on the best pubs for traditional Irish music.  (Be sure not to miss Paddy Sheehan’s!)  We didn’t find this to be a lovable place, but it was a good strategic choice for enjoying Killarney, which is, unfortunately, glutted with tourists--best to stay at a place outside the center like this one.

Strategic Stay in Killarney

I’d highly recommend Algret House to those visiting Killarney. Close to the center of the town, but in a quiet neighborhood, the house is immaculately clean. The breakfast room is large, and the food cooked to order, with delicious home-baked scones a highlight. The proprietor is friendly, attentive and eager to assist guests in any way she can. 

Great Option

We were here in Quattroruote, we had two rooms, the NS with parquet, bathroom with shower and bath products. The lady welcomed us as dear friends. The typical English breakfast is very good and prepared on time. The b and b is about 10 minutes' walk from the centre and has parking.

Kindness and Good Price

When B&B's are this good I wonder why we ever use hotels.
From the moment Greta greets you with her warm and friendly tones, you feel at home and know you have chosen well. Everything that follows confirms this.
Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Ample off street parking is available. The walk to centre of town is an easy 5 mins. Greta's restaurant recommendations are spot on.
Breakfast is always a highlight for me and Algret House does not disappoint. Cereal, fruit and coffee are all plentiful, the cooked options are varied and flexible. The rarely seen Alfie produced eggs of a masterful standard and consistency across our 3 day stay. Greta's homemade cherry scones came out with us every day as a delightful accompaniment to our mid morning cuppa.
We were sad to leave and would highly recommend Algret House to anyone visiting Killarney. 

Well located, wonderful hosts, why bother looking elsewhere in Killarney?

Our favourite stop in Ireland! We felt at home instantly, the breakfast was like a high-end hotel with so many delicious options, and homemade waffles, and scones. The room was clean and the location was quiet yet mere steps away to the town of Killarney. Greta was personable, kind and very accommodating. I would recommend a stay here. 

My only negative, is that we couldn’t stay here longer due to our busy itinerary.
