We arrived in Kenmare much later than we had expected and arrived to meet David before rushing out to grab dinner. Our GPS had a little bit of an issue finding the house as it's on a small street right before you enter town. The room was very clean but had a little bit of an older smell when we... More

Talk about service! My first hot water bottle treatment->AWESOME! The rooms were quite spacious. Marion and Dan were absolutely wonderful. Our room even had a bathtub nicer than my own. If you are visiting Kenmare, I highly recommend staying at Rockcrest House. Plus, it's only a couple minutes walk to downtown so whether you're seeking a friendly little shop, or... More

We loved our stay at the charming Rockcrest House in Kenmare. The charming well appointed room was lovely, hosts helpful, location a short walk to town and away from noise and clutter with sheep in view from window, breakfast very good. We would highly recommend to anyone staying in this nice little village. Judy and Gene

We had a wonderful experience at Rockcrest House. The landscaping is beautiful; parking is plentiful. The house is lovely and the rooms are large and comfortable. The best part for me was the bathtub where I could soak after a long fun-filled day. The house is located in a rural setting but it is very easy walk to the town... More

The Rockcrest House is a beautiful B&B! The room was spacious and we had our own bathroom which was so great. Marian and David were excellent hosts. This B&B deserves a 5 star rating. We had stayed 3 nights and then we left for Co. Clare to see the Cliffs. After touring the Cliffs, we drove to the nearby towns... More

My wife and I recently returned from an eight day vacation in Ireland. One of the very best evenings was spent with Marian and David O'Dwyer in their beautiful home in Kenmare. Their hospitality was impeccable. The breakfast exceeded that we later experienced in the Ashford Castle, a five star establishment. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bed (brand... More

This B&B is as beautiful as the pictures make it seem. Wifi signal can be iffy in certain rooms, and the speed is dependent on the number of people trying to access it. The bathroom was luxurious and looked recently renovated. We had the King room on the first floor facing the street with the huge picture window (sorry, don't... More

In Ireland there is a rating scale of one through five for many B&Bs. This is very simple... the Rockcrest should be a five. The hostess is wonderful the facility is perfectly sparkling clean and lovely. It is on the immediate edge of the center of Town and is even at a very historic location ...you can't miss this one....

This was by far our favorite B&B in Ireland! Comfortable rooms, modern bathrooms, wonderful breakfast, and lovely people! The B&B is located close to town and across from a small flock of sheep, which was quite charming. We loved having our window open at night and hearing the "baa's" of the sheep. The hosts were very helpful and did everything... More

This house is awesome. The bedrooms are very beautiful and comfortable. The location is perfect, just 5 minutes walking to the centre. The city is also gorgeous. They have a puppy, a big dog of 10 months. Definitely everybody will enjoy and love this b&b, no doubt.
