First, let me say that we stayed in 2 lovely guesthouses while in Ireland - Waterloo House in Dublin and Virginia's in Kenmare. Maybe our expectation that B&Bs in Ireland are like B&Bs in the US were incorrect, I don't know, but this was not what we expected. I agree with other reviews that John is friendly and outgoing, but... More

Stayed here for one night with English friends during August. John, a most affable host , met us in Kinsale and led us up to the property which had rooms with great views overlooking the pool.Too cool to swim and the pool needed a clean anyway. Rooms clean and bathrooms large and well fitted out. We arrived back after dinner... More

We arrived in Kinsale without reservations and were feeling quite discouraged after being turned away from 4 B & B's. At the 4th one, the proprietor told us to go down the street and check with his neighbor who often rented out rooms. "Just look for the trailer and the old dog in front." In my mind I envisioned a...

Adequate B&B located in a quiet residential neighborhood above the village of Kinsale. B&B has a pool, but we couldn't figure out when it's actually warm enough to swim, given the typically cool Irish temperatures. Friendly host, John, and dog, Cindy. We only had cereal for breakfast, but John offerred eggs, bacon, etc. Most expensive B&B we stayed at in... More

I would highly recommend Serenaville..great location - a 10 minute walk from the centre of town, overlooking the harbour with fabulous views, lovely clean pool and very clean guestrooms..I rarely feel like I can walk across the carpets of any guesthouse or hotel but felt like this room was well hoovered and spotlessly clean - even with a cream carpet!...

Our host John met us in front of the Spar down in the village and escorted up, up, up a little mountain overlooking the town. The accomodation is in a lovely residential neighborhood, so you truly feel like a house guest, not like you're staying in a hotel. We walked through a beautiful great room with lots of glass out...

A very relaxing stay. Our first, but it wont be our last. Our daughters new mobile fell down a manhole in the town and of course was not useable. The following morning thanks to John the proprietor after much time and patience the mobile was back in action. Where would one get this service. Thanks John and Gina. See you... More

Serenaville is an outstanding bed and breakfast establishment. The quality of the accomodation, food,service,and genuine Irish hospitality provided by the host John Murphy is second to none. My wife and I will certainly tell all our friends about this excellent B@B. Len and Ruth Jones Cheshire UK More

We stayed one night with John and his family on the way to Baltimore as part of our two week honeymoon in Ireland. John was most friendly and helpful, to the extent that when we came down for breakfast in the morning he gave us a wedding card that he had made for us on the computer - above and... More
