Mary is a wonderful hostess and her home is a delightful place to stay in Killarney. It is an easy walk to the heart of Town or stroll through the National Park. Our room was comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. Elyod House was excellent value & a memorable stay.

What a find! Our host Mary was absolutely exceptional, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We contacted Mary on arrival at the train station in killarney and she actually collected us herself. I think that she must have worked for kerry tourism as she was able to provide with loads of information on the area which is a big help when trying to entertain two children.
The accomodation at Elyod house is perfect, the bedrooms are lovely and spacious, spotlessly clean with beautiful views of the mountains.The dining room is beautiful and our breakfast was lovely. We will definitely will be back and i would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Elyod House to anyone.

This place was the worst B&B of our entire trip. Not saying that this place is horrible either. The room was clean, but tight. We found it difficult trying to place our suitcases down without tripping over them. The bathroom was average sized. The owners were of absolutely no help in suggesting sites to see or places to eat, and was the only B&B to not have pamphlets available to guests that we stayed at. The location was ok, as you could walk into the center of town or to Ross Castle if you don't mind a walking a bit of distance. The breakfast was horrible. It was like the owners wanted you out of there so quickly that they didn't completely cook your food. I certainly was not feeling well after the first morning there. On the second morning I order fruit and yogurt and was given a yogurt cup, an apple, a banana and an orange. First it was surprising to me to have that as a menu item as all other places offer you those things along with breakfast, but secondly I expected something more along of lines of a fruit salad or at least something that showed it took effort to prepare. Very disapointing. The entire experience felt like the owners just wanted to get you in, take your money and get you out.

Overall if you're only looking for a clean comfortable bed then this is the place for you, but if you're looking for something more than I suggest you keep looking.

I stayed in Killarney in April with a group of student studying abroad. My friend and I ended up staying in Elyod House for two nights. Although we were split up from our group, and both took turns being sick, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We saw our fair share of B and Bs and this was one of the best. The hostess was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the rest of the family was the same. When my friend came down with a stomach bug, they were very concerned with our well-being and went out of their way to make us comfortable.

The house was gorgeous. The rooms were spacious and had big windows that looked out over a nice area of Killarney. It was right around the corner from a busy area of Killarney, but it was quiet and residential. The rooms were HUGE, and the beds were comfortable. The hosts took great care to make the house as quiet and relaxing as possible. There was a nice sitting room with a piano and the breakfast room was very elegant with big windows to the street, where one can watch the jaunting cars drive by. The whole house was clean, which is more than some Irish B and Bs can say!

I cannot comment on the price, as the arrangements were made for us, but I am sure it was definitely worth it.
