we originally booked to stay for 2 nights at this B&B but checked out after one. On arrival we were greeted ok by the daugther of the owners, but given no suggestions of things to do or even told what time breakfast was! we were shown to our room which was incredibly damp and cold, despite the previous days being... more

We arrived at the Old Cable Historic House on a chilly stormy night - my husband & I were both sick (on his birthday), so we weren't in the best of spirits. We were greeted with a very warm welcome by Margaret, and wonderful smells coming from the kitchen where Alan was preparing our dinner. Once we got settled into... more

I recently made the trip to Ireland and was lucky enough to find this little gem. The owner, Margarette and her family are very kind, warm people. Their B & B will make you feel right at home. Getting there is fairly easy although there should probably be a little more signage pointing travelers in the right direction. It's walking... more

A very warm welcome is extended by Margaret and Alan O'brien who cannot do enough to make your stay in Ireland an interesting, comfortable, and pleasant one. The rooms had everything we needed for our walking holiday and we were warm and cozy too. Hearty, generous breakfasts greeted you in the morning and Alan's evening meals smelled delicious even though... more

Beautiful Waterville, halfway around the Ring of Kerry, has an important place in history as the landing site of the first transatlantic undersea cables that provided first telegraph and then telephone capabilities linking North America and Europe. Innkeeper Margaret is thoroughly versed in the details of this technological marvel and her historic house contains fascinating memorabilia. It is easy walking... more

We stayed for 4 nights in this historic house and we didn't want to leave when it was time. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding. Alan is an excellent cook. He served us a superb and perfect dinner menu in the restaurant. Margaret and Alan were extremely friendly and helpful. If we are ever... more

We stayed for 1 night whilst touring the ring of Kerry. In fact, it was our only bad experience and did overshadow otherwise perfect accommodation. We were met, hardly greeted, by the presumed owner who didn't seem overjoyed to see us. Our room was shabby. A TV with no reception and a grimy taped together remote control - yuck. No... more

Looked good on the net. Very different once we got there. Looks like a place in a lovely spot. In reality it is in the middle of a grimy estate. We arrived and it looked like the place was abandoned. Finally got an answer from the fron the front door and unbelievably we were directed to stay in another house... more
