Sive Townhouse

Friendly, excellent service, and a really good breakfast in the morning: bacon, sausages, eggs, toast, jams, juice and seemingly endless coffee. The single room was small, but clean and comfortable, and exactly what I needed.

The room was small but fine for one night. I was surprised there was no TV. The bathroom was clean, though the sink was tiny and there wasn't room for toiletries. We called to book because that gave us 10% off, and payment was cash only. We'd agreed over the phone on breakfast at 8:15 so we could leave early, but when we arrived the man said 8:40 was the earliest. That was frustrating since we needed to rush out, though the eggs and coffee helped. Breakfast was good, but some vegetables with the eggs and toast would have been nice. It was good for a place to sleep and move on, but I wouldn't choose it for a longer stay.

Mary's breakfasts were a highlight, and we really enjoyed chatting with her in the mornings. She also went out of her way to arrange a cab to the drop-off point for the next stretch of the Kerry Way. The rooms are small, but cozy and very nice for a hostel, and there's a spacious outdoor seating area where clothes can dry. It's in a great location, and we had a wonderful stay. We'd absolutely come back.

After a hike, this was a nice place to stay. Breakfast was perfect and Mike, the French host, was really kind and accommodating. The B&B is clean, in a good spot on the Kerry Way, and the reception was great. It often fills up. It is a bit expensive for hikers, though.
