  A beautiful and welcoming place to stay in Kenmare.

  27 Apr 2026

  Lissyclearig Thatched Cottage is a beautiful and welcoming place to stay in Kenmare. Carmel and her family were lovely hosts and made me feel right at home. The breakfasts were delicious and the room was very comfortable. I was so impressed that they had built this cottage themselves and put such care and whimsy into the details of the decor. I would highly recommend staying here!

  A lovely place to stay.

  Our hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was delightful! I love all of the rustic wood furnishings, and the cosy atmosphere. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable place near Kenmare, which is a great little town with a nice selection of pubs.

  Lovely B&B

  14 Oct 2024

  Lovely thatched roof cottage, looks exactly like the pictures. The room was very comfortable. Host Carmel cooks a wonderful Irish breakfast. The cottage is a short drive from Kenmare and fairly centrally located for trips further away, such as The Kerry Cliffs or Gap of Dunloe. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this B&B!

  Unique place, perhaps not my cup of tea but could be yours, in a beautiful part of Ireland

  The good … the gardens are lovely and the flowers are simply gorgeous. The thatch roof style of the home is charming and inviting. Host Carmel is welcoming and helpful; she was also very understanding when I embarrassingly started to leave without paying, as I thought I’d booked a prepaid rate rather than just a deposit. Yikes, that was not great on my part but she was very kind about it and we settled the payment quickly. The not so good … the home is more rustic than I’d prefer, and generally felt a bit dated and dusty. Also, the stairs to the second floor were very steep and felt especially so with bags. Traveling as two older adults - one elderly - this was concerning. Booked through B&B Ireland and I assume if I’d booked directly my request for an accessible room would have been easier to communicateKenmare is wonderful and this area of Ireland is absolutely worth a visit. Enjoy!

  LIVE IN THE MOMENT -BOTH PAST AND PRESENT

  You’ll get a true, traditional and unique Irish experience at Lissyclearig. You instantly become and are treated as family by Carmel, the owner, who is available to assist in anyway (and who serves up a full Irish breakfast). Our room (double and single) was on the main floor which meant no climbing stairs - if you have mobility issues, be sure to call ahead). Also, be advised that your room may not have enough outlets so if this is a concern ask first. Overall, Lissyclearig is a place that will make your trip to Ireland special. Immerse yourself in Irish history whilst living in the present.
