We stayed in the driftwood inn on a 3 night stay and absolutely loved it. The place was immaculately clean,quiet and peacefull. Peter was the owner and ensured we had a perfect stay. Peter cooked a very good breakfast and allowed us space to chat with our friends. overall a lovely stay.

One of the best trips of my life! One week in ireland . Small tour on a bus with about 14 other people. Off the beaten path. We were passing the tour buses in the other direction. Kevin the tourguide was awesome. He knew where to go and when. People, sites, country, food, stout and music were beautiful! Highly recommended!

Kenmare was our starting point for the Ring of Kerry the next day. We stayed at Driftwood with Peter and Mignonne for one night and we didn't get to spend too much time in the B&B. Overall, I rated it excellent because it really fit our needs and the price was outstanding. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.... More

Lovely B&B - Modern - light - airy! Spotless! We hadn't realized our room would be a self catering studio style apartment with all the amenities or we would probably have booked longer up front. Has large refrig; full stove with oven; dishes; silverware; pots pans etc. SuperVal grocery is in town and this allowed us to prepare an evening... More

My mother and I were traveling around Ireland for 17 days and booked at the Driftwood for 2 nights. We really wish we would have stayed here longer and made additional days trips. The house is spotless! Peter and Mignonne are fantastic, friendly and as hands on or off as you like. We stayed in the lower studio which had... More

We showed up in Kenmare without reservations and were fortunate enough to book here with the help of the tourist information office. While the property is a bit of a walk to town, the house, furnishings, and food were all excellent. Peter and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful place to stay and just a short walk to the town itself which is one of those places you would love to live in. My friend and I were staying for four days so were fortunate enough to have the apartment which was self contained and such a bonus. It was all wonderful. Everything was beautifully done... More

My husband and I stayed here 2 nights with our infant son and had a great experience. The room was very clean with lovely unfinished wood decor. Peter and Mignonne are very welcoming and make a delicious breakfast. They are also more than willing to show you maps and give you advice on where to go on your touring. It's... More

My husband and I stayed here for a one night mini break. It was fantastic. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom was spotless and the shared living area was comfortable and had lots of reading material and games. The breakfast was lovely, the only comment I would make is that a full vegetarian breakfast would have gone down well!... More

We stayed in Kenmare for 1 night in July 2012. Although the weather was shocking, we had a great stay thanks to Driftwood. Peter welcomed us on arrival and showed us to our very modern room. I loved the room as it was so similar to a regular homely bedroom. It had great facilities - tea/coffee making, TV, info on... More
