“Best B+B ever!”

Kilburn House was one of the best B+B's we've ever stayed out - an absolutely incredible location, surrounded by the mountains, and on a lovely farm with horses and cows. The house is beautiful, our room was very spacious with an enormous bathroom, and there's a great sitting room with a peat fire, tea, coffee and books, that you're able to relax in - we had a great evening there once, chatting with fellow travellers and Podge. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, with lots of choices every day if you didn't feel like the traditional Irish breakfast. Gret and Podge truly bent over backwards to make us feel welcome, and even woke up super early on our last day to make sure we had a full breakfast (at 6AM!!) before we had to leave for the airport - we felt like they were family friends by the end of our 3 day stay. Even their dog Bailey was unbelievably friendly :) The only thing is that you do need a car to get to nearby towns for dinner/supplies, but if you're visiting Kerry you probably have a rental car anyway. All in all, Kilburn House was fantastic, and I didn't want to leave!

We had an absolutely fabulous four night stay in this memorable B&B just off the Ring of Kerry. All the positive comments from other reviewers say it all really - a lovely house run by a fabulous family who couldn't do enough for you. Breakfasts were an absolute treat, the bedroom was super and the sitting room a great place to relax. We really couldn't praise it enough. Kilburn House also represents extraordinary value for money. Service and hospitality were absolutely flawless - with B&Bs like this around, you wonder why people ever stay in hotels.

Our only warning is that it's hard to find anywhere decent for dinner nearby - local restaurants are cruelly expensive (presumably because of a captive tourist market) and the local pubs pretty dismal. Best bet is the local Indian, where you can get a perfectly good curry without being stung for 150 Euros for two. But you can't blame any of that on Kilburn Lodge, which really is impeccable and a great find.

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at the Kilburn House. We had a party of 4 adults and 1 6-month old and we were all happy with our time there.

Fran and Podge were very friendly and so were their boys. They accommodated some additional needs we had since we were traveling with an infant, all done with a smile.

We had two rooms to accommodate our party and they were very good sized and clean. The breakfast possibilities were pretty good; the oatmeal and full Irish breakfast were tasty and got us energized for the day ahead.

The surrounding area was quite beautiful and we found Milltown to be a great starting off point for our travels around the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. Many good food options are available in nearby Killorglin.

My son and I were on a ten day vacation in Ireland. My son is Ireland for college so I went for a visit. Kilburn House B&B was our first stop. We stayed two nights so we could visit the Dingle Pen. and the Ring of Kerry. It's right in between the two and close to both. The house is beautiful and our room was perfect. We were greeted with tea, coffee, brown bread, cookies and more upon our arrival. The owners are both wonderful people and couldn't help us enough with directions to the areas we wanted to visit. They are both just really nice people. Our breakfast was excellent both mornings with a nice food selection. My son had the Irish breakfast and I had an omelet with fresh cheese's. We stayed at a total of 6 B&Bs while in Ireland which were all very nice but not as exceptional as the Kilburn House. When I go back for a visit I will definitely stay there again. Two nights just weren't enough. This B&B is a perfect example of what Farm House Bed and Breakfast's are all about.

“Great location!”

Great location to ring of kerry and dingle peninsula. The hosts were very hospitable. Great breakfast!! we didn't even need to eat lunch the days we were there. We brought our baby along for the trip. The B+B had a high chair and crib for her. Large, beautiful house in the middle of pastures. very lovely and peaceful.
