Hidden Treasure
The Grove Lodge is hands down the most beautiful place we have stayed on our trip. I would honestly come all the way back to Ireland just to spend a few days here. The rooms were clean and cozy with a beautiful view of the river and mountains. Breakfast was spectacular and they do all of their own baking on the premises. The spread was unlike anything we've seen at other B&B's. Fergus and Delia were great hosts and took the time to talk to everyone individually about their upcoming travel day giving helpful tips and tricks about where to go. Killlorglin had a surprisingly great dining scene and some really neat local pubs as well.

Best breakfast on our trip!!
Even if website says breakfast is included it isn't ! Best breakfast in Ireland! So reserve the room directly with the B&B (and get breakfast included) or when reserving via hotel.com request no breakfast and pay when you have enjoyed the huge selection of morning treats! Check in only 5-7pm!! Lovely couple!

Wonderful Location to explore the Ring of Kerry
We stayed here for three nights while adventuring around the Ring of Kerry and it was an excellent choice. Wonderful location right on the river with a view of the mountains. Very peaceful. The owners are absolutely lovely and accommodating in every way. We were so incredibly happy with our stay. The upkeep of the grounds is wonderful full of flowers and lush plants. They also have tables set up down by the river to enjoy an evening beverage - or morning coffee/tea. BnB features- Breakfast: DEFINITELY get it with your booking you will not be disappointed. An amazing selection of breads, cheeses, pastries, fruits and a full hot breakfast menu to choose from. I had the salmon option and my husband enjoyed the delicious pancakes perfect portions to get the day started. Locations: Walking distance to the downtown area. A quick drive to Killarney for adventuring AND an easy 45 min drive (without traffic) to the southern area of the peninsula. And we ended up not making it but a reasonable drive over to the Dingle peninsula as well. The local town is tiny cute and full of excellent restaurants to choose from. PS For Indian cuisine try - (Sethu) it was probably the best we have ever had.

Beautiful B&B
My husband and I stayed here for two nights while we explored the Ring of Kerry and Killarney National Park. The B&B was beautiful, had a nice view, friendly staff, and a very comfortable room. Everything was clean and homey. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! The area around is very beautiful. It's a great place to start the Ring of Kerry from. Killorglin itself isn't the most amazing of towns, but we did find a charming restaurant for dinner and enjoyed our visit. The Grove Lodge is a bit outside the town which we liked. The only downside was that they ran out of hot water in the showers one night--must've been busy. But I got a nice hot bath the next day so no harm done. All told a wonderful place to stay! One of our favorites.

Lovely lodge right next to the town.
We stayed in Grove Lodge during Puck Fair. While the accommodation and surroundings are lovely we were given the wrong keys for the front door which only became apparent during the middle of the night. Unfortunately having to stay outside for two hours until another person came along to let me in put a downer on our experience here but overall it was a nice place to stay and very close to the town. I suggest testing the keys before you head out to experience your surroundings!

Stunning Lodge!
The owners are incredibly nice and friendly! As we arrived, we couldn’t help but notice that the grounds were stunning! Beautiful garden! Best of all, we were greeted by the owners’ grand puppy, Oscar, a shepherd of some sort. The lodge is located along a waterway where we woke up to white swans swimming by, early in the morning. The rooms were nicely appointed. The ONLY downfall was 3/4 of our guests did not shower due to lack of hot water. It was luke warm at best. Otherwise, loved it!c

Haven on earth
If you want to meet the nicest people on earth, you have to stay at Grove Lodge. It is located next to a river with beautiful and very well maintained garden. The rooms were clean and organized. If I want to fingerprint one thing that that is above everything, it’s the owners of this lodge. They were one of the nicest people I have met. From the first minute we entered the lodge to the last minute, we felt like we were visiting a relative and felt so welcomed. I wish them health and happiness.

Incredible value for the money
The Grove Lodge was one of the nicest surprises of our trip. The owners were so kind and chatty. We had a view of the lovely gardens framing the river. The room was spotless, spacious and the beds were comfortable. Spend the extra 10€ for the breakfast. It was easily the most delicious one I had the entire trip. This was the one time that Google maps failed me in Ireland. It took us about 800 meters past the entrance. For everyone complaining about nighttime noise, using a white noise app (easily downloaded for free) is a simple solution when staying at any hotel. There is a tapas restaurant located in an old converted church in downtown Killorglin that has fantastic food. A bit of a splurge, but worth it.

A delightful setting by the river, beautifully laid out and a very comfortable room. But the breakfast, oh my that was sensational, the variety of fresh fruits, cereals and cooked options was a feast for the eyes and the stomach. Topped off with real Irish hospitality the Grove Lodge was a fabulous stay.
