The rooms were lovely and it was very close to town. We were there just after lunch and Eileen asked us if we needed any washing done, we got them back that night as there is no laundrette in Killarney it was a great help. The breakfast was the best we had throughout our 9 days in Scotland. Would recommend... More

I can't understand the negative reviews on here. They must have visited a different establishment. Friendly welcome, helpful hostess, ulimited tea. coffee and snacks, including packet soup which is great if you don't fancy going out to eat. The breakfast was, as others have said, amazing, with huge choice and generous portions. Free wi-fi, too, which is important these days... More

As other reviewers have said the rooms and bathrooms are small,[ after an evening at one of the many pubs with music-- who cares?], but this is more than compensated for by the location,[easy 5 min walk to town], helpfulness of the Host,Eileen,[who volunteered to do our washing for no charge], the great beakfast, and the range of complimentary snacks,...

We were very disappointed with this B&B. Our bathroom had mold on the walls of the shower and the bathroom. The overall appearance of the B&B is quite worn. I am shocked to read such good reviews on this location. I would never consider this B&B on our next trip to Ireland.

Our family of 6 spent almost 2 weeks in different B & B's throughout Ireland and this was by far our favorite! The breakfast was absolutely amazing. The hostess gave us extra help & information when we needed it, and plenty of privacy too; perfect balance. She was ready to book outings for us & arrange for pick up out... More

The location (approx. 5 mins walk from town) was great but we were quite disappointed about the overall experience for many reasons. Firstly the room had a very strong smell of damp and mould. The owner wasn't particularly welcoming or friendly.The lights didn't work. We couldn't have a proper shower due to lack of water pressure. All our clothes were... More

The Mountain Dew B&B is well situated in the town of Killarney. Mrs. Eileen Carroll was very helpful in scheduling a Ring of Kerry bus tour for us, her husband found us lost and had us follow him to the B&B. This B&B is cozy. Of the four B&Bs we stayed at during our trip, Mountain Dew had an outrageous... More

Position is just perfect to visit Killarney and the Ring of Kerry, there is plenty of information and a free Wi-Fi. Also, all the snacks, teas, cereals, coffee and cookies in the reading room are for free!!! And at Breakfast you are gonna need an hour just to decide what to have: there is a wall filled with cereals, snacks,... More

When we drove in to The Mountain Dew parking lot, we were a bit worried about the lack of parking spaces available to us. Immediately we were greeted by Eileen who told us her husband would move his car and park ours for us in one of the tightest spots in Killarney. He whipped into the spot as our jaws... More
