The Ferris Wheel B&B

“Lovely stay and lovely hosts in a great location ”

Stayed with my mum for a 5 day break to visit the gap of dunloe and other walking spots, location for the gap was very good with amazong views of the mountains from the b&b and a great pub just over a 5min walk, we came slightly before season so unfortunately 2nights of our 4 the pub wasn't serving food so John the host ever so kindly dropped us to another nearby restaurant called the golden nugget, huuuge portions of food and fairly priced also is in sync with the days that Kate Kearney doesn't do food so worked out well. About 8min car ride to killarney and would suggest if doing this frequently then to hire a car as we ended paying a few taxis 20 to 25 euro each way! Min of 45 euro in a taxi from Kerry airport which is 25mins but cheaper if getting the bus to killarney bus depot 5euro each and then taxi from there! The b&b is remote for purpose of being situated for the gap walk so be aware of this and stock up if needing supplies beforehand. John and Nora are lovely hosts with a wide knowledge of the area and willing to help out and are around for any questions or concerns. Breakfast is served in a lovely decorated room with hot croissants and contential choices to start the day. John also does the jaunting car ride with 1 of his own horses called Nelly for 60 euro (for 2) great experience and def recommended for the gap as it is a strenuous walk if on foot, we walked from a point to lord Brandon's cottage which was sadly not as anticipated nore of a grab and go place but again maybe was due to being out of season and if honest maybe not worth the walk again it's just as beautiful walking to the point of the black valley and returning to kates cottage for hot food options and live music which is a great vibe! The walk back from Brandon's took 2hrs 34mins and was very steep and tough going so be prepared. Thank you John and Nora l, myself and Wendy thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you :)

“Tremendous location and hosts”

This was easily the most beautiful and luxurious room that my partner had stayed in on our travels in Ireland. Easily nicer than rooms at Parknasilla which were 6X the price. I have absolutely no issue recommending this B&B to anyone passing through.

“Great location ”

If you don’t want to be in the hustle and bustle of Killarney this place is perfect. The Gap of Dunloe is a spectacular location and The Ferris Wheel is right there.

If you don’t want to be in the hustle and bustle of Killarney this place is perfect. The Gap of Dunloe is a spectacular location and The Ferris Wheel is right there. Walking distance to Kate Kierney’s pub where you can get a little of the Irish culture and an ordinary pub meal. But if you want a better meal we would suggest the Beaufort Bar and Restaurant a short drive away. The only downside is the en-suite in our room was tiny and inefficient.

“A BnB that doesn’t serve a proper breakfast?”

I’ve been to many bed-and-breakfasts all over the world, and this is the first time I’ve seen one that doesn’t serve a proper breakfast. You get a paper bag with fruit, bread, yogurt and a choice of tea or INSTANT COFFEE. Hot coffee is a minimum for many people in the morning, so let’s hope they sp… more

I’ve been to many bed-and-breakfasts all over the world, and this is the first time I’ve seen one that doesn’t serve a proper breakfast. You get a paper bag with fruit, bread, yogurt and a choice of tea or INSTANT COFFEE. Hot coffee is a minimum for many people in the morning, so let’s hope they spring for a Nespresso machine at the very least!
