We recently stayed at The Lodges in Kenmare Bay Hotel, no 22 to be specific. Such a fabulous accommodation and perfect for a girls getaway break. The Lodge was so beautifully decorated, warm and inviting, such a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a few drinks together while we chilled & chatted. The rooms are very spacious , really comfortable beds, with 2 en-suite bathrooms. We were in our element. We had dinner booked in The Kenmare Bistro Restaurant at the hotel, literally a stones throw away from The Lodge. The food was absolutely divine. We had a 3 course meal with so much variety to choose from and of course we all had a nibble at each others to taste each dish. All were amazing!!! Particularly the Chicken Ballontine! The Restaurant was comfortable full and a buzzing atmosphere. The staff were so attentive and seemed to genuinely enjoy working there and interacting with guests. Of course we had a few from the cocktail menu, a girls weekend wouldn't be complete without a few tasters. The whiskey sour being my favourite, just really hit the spot and is inevitable if the best I've tasted. It's not always easy to get them right !! Breakfast the next morning was equally fantastic, so much choice, and to top it off the Executive Head Chef Bobby kindly gave us a loaf of their finest Guinness Bread & Ginger Bread loaf, DIVINE !

We recently stayed in the Lodges at the Kenmare Bay Hotel and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The lodges were spotless and incredibly inviting, with comfortable pillows and a mattress that made for a perfect night's sleep. It was the ideal retreat for us gang of girls escaping husbands and children. Our three-course meal in the restaurant was nothing short of Michelin standard, followed by delicious cocktails. We love eating in restaurants when we go away and taking photos of presentation and this far exceeded our expectations. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere that made the dining experience even more special. It was clear that everyone dining was thoroughly enjoying their food. The kids' menu was another highlight—thoughtfully designed and very appealing to our little ones. They seemed to love the variety, and it was great to see such attention given to younger guests. Breakfast the next morning was equally outstanding, with an impressive variety of choices and everything bursting with flavor. The homemade Guinness and Treacle bread was absolutely to die for! We were a little hungover to take pictures but trust me when I say the menu and the carvery was one of the best I have ever seen and I travel a lot. What really made our stay special was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the staff. Everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy working there, and it made the experience all the more pleasant. A lovely touch was the chef personally coming out to check on the diners to ensure everyone was happy with their meals. This is a well-run hotel that I will highly recommend to family and friends, and I can’t wait to return for another stay! Try the Chicken Ballantine!! AMAZING

As a treat for my husband, I booked us in for an afternoon tea, in The Bay Bistro. I honestly can't recommend this enough, the food was excellent and displayed like a piece of artwork, absolutely stunning! Service was perfect, (we had Andrej ) with enough attention to make sure we had everything we needed and then left in peace to completely devour our food! We even needed a box to take leftovers home!! We'll definitely be back again!!

We're home two weeks from our stay at Kenmare Bay and are still talking about it. We remembered the hotel from a time in the 1990s when a relative lived in Kenmare and at that time we used to think it looked a decent hotel but it was a bit outside the town for comfort. As we discovered, that is not the case at all and, in fact, the location is perfect! From start to finish our experience was excellent. We had a fine spacious room on the first floor ideal for our needs. The staff were friendly and welcoming and their operation during busy breakfast times was like clockwork. The breakfast itself was very good with all the options, hot and cold, that you would expect on offer. We arrived by car and unlike many hotels there was ample parking and, importantly, generous spaces for easy access to the vehicles. It was great also to be able to leave the car there and walk to the town centre in 5 to 10 minutes using a quiet pathway that was a real bonus and the reason that we decided the location was ideal. We didn't get the chance to use the Leisure Centre this time as the weather was so good we spent all our time exploring but it would be a great option at other times. All in all, we had a great stay and will definitely return.
