We enjoyed our stay at Harbour View - we had the best breakfast in all of Ireland there. Maureen was very nice and warned that we might prefer the downstairs rooms since my husband and father are around 6 feet tall, but we enjoyed the view from the upstairs windows. That being said, if you are not familiar with the... more

This was a lovely house and sparkeling clean. We were greeted by Maureen McCarthy, the owner. She was most gracious and friendly. She served a wonderful breakfast. The best we had in all of our 11 day travels. Lovely location. more

We spent three nights at this wonderful B&B which has beautiful views right on the water. There is a reason it holds a AA 4 Diamonds Award. Our room and the entire place was always clean and well appointed. The breakfasts were excellent and bountiful. Our Hostess, Maureen McCarthy, could not have been more charming or helpful. She is knowledgeable... more

The business cards advertise "Luxury Bed and Breakfast" however this is not the case. The carpet has not seen a vacume for quite some time in the bedroom assigned, no kettle, tea coffee or condiments in the room, (everywhere else in Ireland had this facility) TV did not work, no clock radio as advertised, room very small and bathroom ceiling... more

This review baffled and upset me very much! I remember this party who stayed at my house recently. At the time of their telephone booking, I clearly stated my per person sharing rate of 45 euros. I also stated the rate for single occupancy in a double room as being 85 euros. These rates are clearly advertised in all guide...

We booked at stay at Harbour View as it was recommended to us by the owner of the place we originally wanted to stay (Virginia's Guest House), which was booked. It is a few miles outside of Kenmare, but since we were going to be driving everywhere anyway it didn't seem to be a problem and the pictures from her... more

This is a stunning location, and the service, welcome and cleanliness matched. Marine activity centre and good restaurant next door but one. Maureen (and her Polish assistant) were most welcoming, and the breakfast is enough to keep you going until the evening. I was also impressed with the choice of cereals (including home made muesli) and the provision of grapefruit... more

We stayed here in July of 2006 for two nights. Definitely a wonderful view from our window. This property is well-located 10 minutes from Kenmare on the Ring of Beara road. While the accommodation and breakfast was quite adequate, this family have been doing it too long. They no longer live at the site, and had a young women with... more

Just returned from 2 nights a la Harbour Inn. It was a OK B&B nothing special. The Harbour is in fact across a road (and not in the garden as the pictures sort of imply). The room we had was small, very friendly cat which we liked. Could have done with more attention to detail on cleaning, i.e I made... more

I was shocked and most upset to read the unkind words written by this anonymous reviewer who stayed at my house recently. I am very interested to hear any comments about my business at any time, but in this instance, I must make some points of my own with regard to this review. I have never been advertised anywhere as...

I stayed at Harbour View in July. I must say that the magnificent location convinced me to stay more than was first planned. It's one of the places you usually stop by to take some pictures; so the possibility of living there for a few days and having the view (to the ocean and mountains) all the time, in the... more
