I just finished my (unfortunately) short stay with Pat at Avelow House B & B. It was a WONDERFUL place to stay and I'm not sure how this place isn't number one in Kenmare. When we first arrived, he was expecting us and even greeting us my our names. He showed us to our room (room #3), which was at... More

Everything about this unpretentious B & B was first class. The rooms were spotless, the breakfast was wonderful, but best of all was our lovely host who could not have been more pleasant. He gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner, helped us with our luggage and generally made us feel welcome. Highly recommended.

We arrived at Avelow House quite bedraggled and haggard looking after taking our GPS's suggested "scenic route" between Kinsale and Kenmare. The route took us on some seriously narrow and terrifying roads- roads scary enough that even the LOCALS were shocked we had made the drive. When we explained that we had just been through Priest's Leap to Pat, he... More

I have been to many Ireland B&Bs each year and yet none have ever exceeded my expectations enough to write a review... unitl now! I felt like Pat Downing was a close family member right from the start as he welcomed my father and I in late one night. The accomodations were so class! My dad's favorite part was the... More

Just before you come to Kenmare, after coming Down the Killarney Rd from Muckross,etc you will spot this little b and b on the right. Nice car park in front, and ten minute pleasant walk on sidewalk into town for dinner. Kenmare has three streets and is very small. Avelow House is just what you are looking for--hot shower, warm...

Avelow House is everything a good B&B should be. Pat was very friendly and welcoming. He freely offerred his help and advice and welcomed us into his home like old friends. The B&B is just a short walk to the centre of Kenmare. The room was clean and tidy and fresh and the breakfast was top notch. The owners obviously... More

An excellent place to spend two nights at the start of almost three weeks in Ireland and Scotland. Set the standard for the rest of our trip - warm hospitality, convenient parking, suitable bedroom and en-suite size, fine breakfasts, wi-fi, and convenient proximity to town.

We were so fortunate to find Avelow. The host, Patrick, is the kindest man one could meet. He was so friendly and great with my nephew. He was such an asset in helping us make our travel plans! Accommodations are super clean and comfortable!! Delicious breakfast!! Very affordable!! Excellent free wifi!!! Thank you, Patrick! What a gentleman you are!
