Oaklawn is definitely a 4 star B&B and a perfect location to walk into town and enjoy the evening. Our group of 10 enjoyed the ambience and comfort of the B&B. IrishTourism, Tina O'Connor, booked this wonderful stay along with our 2 week whirlwind drive of Ireland. We also had IrishTourism book our driver and van. Wonderful stay at Oaklawn.

This B&B is a little difficult to find because it must be approached from what is more a private alley than a street. Once found it is worth the visit. The rooms are pristine, beds comfortable and service friendly and welcoming. The host offers free Wi Fi, but the plus on that is there is a reading room with big... More

Found the home to be very lovely. Our room was on the main floor and we found it to be quite spacious. Loved the litte area upstairs to relax and use the internet. Loved that we were able to walk into town, it was so close! Only downside was the access road to the house is off a VERY busy... More

Killarney has so many options.... this one should only be used if there is any other option. Very clean, but very minimal and much of the furniture broken and unkept. Breakfast was very minimal and burnt. The owner was very rude and abusive to such a degree that we had to change hotels... litterally running to get away. I have... More

Shh! Be very quiet when you stay here. The walls are very thin. We could hear all the bathroom sounds from the room next door. Having said that, the room though was clean, comfortable, had extra blankets and pillows as needed and had plenty of shower space. No washcloths though. I prefer a washcloth when showering. It is centrally located... More

I had read reviews about Oaklawn house so was reassured that it was a nice place. However, i was thoroughly dissappointed with the service in particular. Oaklawn itself is clean and within close proxomity to kilarney. However, i found the manner of the lady there very rude. Maybe we just caught her on a bad day but i assumed with... More

Just around the corner from the busy center of Killarney, Oak Lawn is an island of tranquil charm and warm welcome. Clean and modern, it's filled with beautiful antiques and comfortable furnishings, all sparkling clean. This is an excellent location for day trips to the Ring and (even better) to Dingle. Rosemary will have you feeling like family as soon... More

We spent two nights at Oaklawn and couldn't have been more pleased. Rosemary is a wonderful host and gave us suggestions for restaurants and pubs. Our room was very comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect. We were able to walk into town easily for dinner and evening activities, but the location just off the main drag... More

Rooms barely large enough to set luggage down and move about . Bathrooms extremely small. Hauling luggage up flights of stairs is a big deal breaker. Rosemary was welcoming and friendly:-) Delicious Irish breakfast. Close and convenient walking distance to town center.

A place I'd be happy to return to. Our host was most helpful and very friendly, as they all seem to be in Ireland. I think as long as you stick w/ a B&B Ireland establishment, you'll be fine. Breakfast was good and the room was clean and warm.
