My Mother and Aunt have stayed at the Fairview for a week every October for last 14 years, they must be doing something right!! They love everything about it and health permitting they will continue with this tradition. I stayed at the Fairview for one night (June 16) and I can see why my Mother returns so often. They run...

I stayed here with my partner Friday the 8th June for one night. I arrived at 1.30 and was told I was too early, however James advised we could leave our bags if we wished. No biggie, we went for a stroll and checked in at 4pm. James asked me would I like an upgrade, I declined. We stayed in... More

Wow!! Returned home today from a fabulous weekend in Killarney. This was my 3rd time staying at this property and I would never stay anyplace else in Killarney. The location is ideal, only a stonesthrow from shops,pubs,restaurants etc. the breakfast was delicious and the staff are amazing!! On Sunday I fancied a lazy day so asked the cleaners to skip...

The Fairview looks great in pictures and it does not disappoint when you arrive, it feels homely yet elegant. However, we found the rooms noisy at night with the shouting and singing of people partying in Killarney centre. Also the dining room is tiny and cramped at breakfast and it seemed like everything at the buffet was running out. Although... More

Dear Bill, Thank you for your review. The facts are untrue. You booked a Junior Suite for 3 nights which we kept for you and you got a special 3 nights stay rate. You made a very late cancellation and according to terms and conditions it was 72 hours notice required. You then decided to stay just one night on... More

Nice, BUT beware. Web site shows it as a B & B but not always true. Original reservations quoted rate consistent with WEB site for B & B. However 2 weeks prior to check in the wording was changed to room only. Soured our stay. Make sure your reservations are very exact and read carefully. Do not assume it's a... More

I stayed at the so-called "executive room". I paid 110€ and lateroom claimed the original price was 300€. I was expecting a premium room at that price but everything was average really. Maybe I got confused by the 5 stars of this guesthouse and the rating system probably varies compared to hotels. I would say this is equivalent to a... More

Dear nicmart84, Thank you for your review. We are surprised that we did not meet your expectations. For clarification purposes we are AA 5 * guesthouse. In relation to your stay we are not aware of any complaints that you made. The windows are a designer sliding sash not guillotine. All rooms are individually designed with original genuine Jacuzzi baths.... More

No doubt the place has curb appeal, but we were not blown away by the hotel. The location is rock solid for exploring downtown Killarney, but the service was unremarkable and the beds were uncomfortably short. I'm 5'9" and my feet were hanging off the end. My 6'3" husband was miserable. The breakfast was OK, but the staff had trouble... More

Dear sseaton68, Thank you for taking time and reviewing our hotel. We are little surprised with your review, very specifically in relation to the beds being short. Our superking size beds are 6`6" in length. So we are totally confused when you mentioned that your feet were hanging out of the bed and you are 5`9". Enough said. In relation... More

The hotel is along the main street. Check-in parking is done by parking on the sidewalk where a sign tells you this is for check-in only. The real parking lot is half a block up the street, not a problem. The hotel is small and quaint. Our room was well appointed with heated bathroom floors. No cold marble to greet... More

My wife and I spent nearly a week at the Fairview. We didn't stay at the main guest house but in the B&B around the corner, "The Copper Kettle", which is also owned by the Fairview. The moment we came in we were welcomed by the friendly concierge Les. He was very professional, helpful and well-informed - right from the... More
