We selected this Guest House based on its location slightly outside of the overly touristy town of Killarney and its proximity to Killarney National Park. As walkers, we wanted access to the Muckross area without parking hassles and competition with tour buses. We also wanted a quiet location and non-fussy atmosphere without compromising comfort and quality. Friar's Glen Guest House... more

Pure luck when we (me, my wife and two kids, nearly 5 and 7 years old) were looking for a home for a couple of nights. We nearly drove past but i decided to find out, whats at the end of this beautiful gateway. We were both very surprised about this wonderful place to stay and the warm hearted welcome.... more

This is a beautiful B&B and one of the only ones that actually sits in the National Park itself. We had a huge room on the ground floor with a big bathroom, and table and chairs, a desk, an armchair, a closet, and a double bed and twin bed. The rooms are so comfortable, you won't want to leave-- except... more

We've just had a wonderful stay in Killarney and will be returning to the area & stay at the Friar's Glen. John & Mary Fuller run a beautiful country house with lovely grounds, generously-sized ensuite guestrooms & a delicious breakfast. We travelled with our 5yr old daughter & they were very accommodating, they even allowed us to check-in at 9am... more

Tea on arrival and a long chat about the area with Mary was very nice and very helpful. Dinner at the Lake Hotel is a must - the best view you can imagine (straight out at the lit up ruins of a castle or turret with the lake directly behind it). A hike up Torc Mountain before breakfast, then a... more

My wife and I were planning to spend the second half of our Ireland vacation on the Iveragh peninsula and wanted to stay around Killarney. We found Friar's Glen online in our search for a B&B close to the National Park. I made reservations for our two nights' stay online through the website without a hitch. Accommodations don't get much... more

We spent 4 nights at this Bed and Breakfast and found it to be great. We were welcomed with tea and biscuits by Bridget and some great advice as to what to see. The kindness of Mary and Bridget was second to none and the food was to die for. We cant begin to express how wonderful it was to... more
