The Driftwood is a wonderful place in Kenmare. Peter and Mignonne take great pride in their home and it's comfortable and immaculate. They are helpful and friendly hosts you are anxious to share their love of the area with their guests. Their suggestions about where to go and walk made our stay in the area outstanding. Breakfast was a treat in a sunny diring room. Our bedroom was comfortable and well-fitted. Loved being able to stroll into town for dinner and shopping - about a 10-15 minute walk in a resdiential area with sidewalks.

Guests have access to a lovely lounge with lots of books and a small balcony overlooking the mountains and Peter's lovely garden.

Kenmare is a great location for seeing the coast of Kerry.

We stayed with Peter and Mignonne our one night in Kenmare and we absolutely delighted with everything. The house is immaculate and attractive. Our room was very comfortable. We enjoyed homemade yogurt and bread at breakfast and Peter's omelette was exceptional. We enjoyed chatting with our hosts during and after breakfast and wish only that we had more time to enjoy their company. Peter was very helpful in assisting us with dinner reservations ahead of our trip. We would love to stay here again in the future and recommend this bed and breakfast without hesitation.

One of the nicest B&Bs during our trip to sunny(!!) Ireland in May 2008. Large room, immaculately clean, 10 minutes walk to town, tasteful and generous breakfast and very charming and helpful innkeepers. Mignonne knows every spot in Ireland, trust her!!

My husband and I just returned from an eight night stay in Ireland and The Driftwood was the highlight of our B & B experiences. We spent three nights in this lovely home and it exceeded our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and convenient. We enjoyed the strolls into and back from Kenmare. Peter and Mignonne spoiled us with terrific hospitality. They went out of their way to pamper us. The breakfasts were delicious and there was a nice variety to the menu. Mignonne's homemade bread and yogurt were nice additions to the hot breakfast options. Peter gave us great suggestions for pubs and restaurants when we inquired, and Mignonne sent us off with pamphlets and instructions for our day trips. I will definitely recommend this B & B to my friends.

“Great B&B!”

Driftwood Kenmare

Apr 29, 2008

My sister and I stayed at Driftwood for one night last August during a 5 night road trip around Ireland. This was our second to last night, and it's a good thing because it put all of our previous B&Bs to shame. The B&B is a nice, short walk to the BEAUTIFUL town of Kenmare. The place itself was beautiful; our room was clean an elegant, with a very good shower (this was a first for us on this particular trip). Down the hall from our room was a balcony for guests where we sat and watched the sunset over the hills. See my pictures! Peter and Mignonne were wonderful. Mignonne listened to the itinerary for our last day on the road and recommended something else, then outlined the route for us on the map and recommended stops along the way! Such a great trip, and the drive to Kenmare itself made it worth the visit here worthwhile (spent the previous day at Killarney National Park, the drive down was spectacular!). Definitely stay here if you get the chance!!
