The guest house is amazing. Our rooms were very spacious and comfortable as were the bathrooms. There was a towel heater in the bathroom and the closet included bathrobes!! There were plentiful electrical outlets everywhere. The suite had abundant natural lighting. The owners Conor & Bridget take pride of ownership in so many details both large & small like the bowl of mints at the front counter. Conor provided guidance with our travel plans as well. There is a generous sized sunroom/common area with ample seating and room to gather with travel mates. There was tea, coffee, and an honor bar available in the guest lounge. As well as a library with books, DVD's etc. There was also an assortment of games and puzzles. There was lovely music playing in the lounge that added to the ambiance. There is also an adorable outdoor patio and the house is set in a beautiful natural setting in the woodlands on a river. A top-notch Breakfast was included in a bright breakfast room with endless fresh homemade delicious choices for both a continental & full irish breakfast made to order. It filled us up and held us over until supper after a long day of travelling.

The location is just a little bit far from the city center to be walking distance after dark. The only other thing that I felt could improve my stay would have been a magnified makeup mirror in the bathroom.

We had a wonderful stay at Gleann Fia, thanks to our exceptional hosts, Conor and Bridget. Conor welcomed us with helpful information about local attractions and restaurant recommendations, making our arrival smooth and enjoyable. Bridget's friendly demeanor during breakfast added a personal touch, making conversations delightful. The choice of breakfast was amazing; I indulged in both continental and hot food on my first day, but by the second day, I settled on the granola, yogurt, fruit, and delicious homemade bread (I even got the recipe!) along with some delightful cheeses—absolutely scrumptious! We also loved the convenience of the honesty bar. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep for both my husband and me. The guest house's convenient location, just a 5-minute drive from the town center, was a definite plus. The beautiful surroundings and lovely grounds further enhanced our experience in this stunning part of the world. Highly recommended!

The only downside was not have coffee/tea making facilities in our rooms, and we had to go down to the lounge to make this. It was not a huge train smash but normally something I love in the morning when I first wake up. However, there was note explaining why.

Beautiful place, room and location, excellent breakfeast and we received a comprehensive overview of activities and places to see in the area, fit to the length of our visit. Most of the suggestions we received turned out to be amazing. Can't wait to try the recipe we received for Bridget's brown bread. 10/10 would recommend.

We liked everything. Do take in mind it's not recommended to walk from the hotel into the town center of Killarney, especially at night. Fortunately we found taxi/uber to be plenty available. Driving to and parking in Killarney center was also super easy and just takes like 6 minutes. Unfortunately we noticed too late for a reservation that there is a falconry (Kerry) a little further up the road, that does private experiences. Just another reason to come back sometime.

Where to start? First of all, the location is great! Just two minutes by car from Killarney, on a quiet street and surrounded by its own peaceful woodland. My husband and I were greeted by Connor, one of the owners, and received lots of valuable information about Killarney and the area. His wife, Brigid, was just as friendly and open. The breakfast was delicious, with homemade brown bread and produce from local farmers. The double room we stayed in was bigger than expected and had a wonderful outlook onto the garden and woodlands. The bathroom was spacious and had a great waterfall shower head.

While everyone has their own standards and expectations, I am sure that everyone will be able to appreciate their stay with Connor and Brigid. I cannot think of one aspect that we did not enjoy.

I don't often give a rating of 10, but Gleann Fia is truly exceptional - or, more accurately, the host Connor and hostess Bridget are truly exceptional. Right from the start they were warm, engaging and so helpful- happy to share their local knowledge and anxious to ensure that we had a great stay. The house itself has large rooms, filled with lovely old furniture - the lounge (where guests can help themselves to coffee and tea and can pay for alcoholic drinks on an honour system) is a delightful space to sit and relax at the end of the day. Breakfast is fantastic, with home-made bread and jam and a cooked breakfast to order. My room was very comfortable, with everything I needed.

It was hard to stop the water from the shower from flooding the entire bathroom floor because of the "walk-in" design.

A lovely house on a really quiet setting (no road traffic noise!!) & the lovely sound of the River Deenagh flowing alongside the boundary of the property Cosy,comfy & very clean throughout. Great space to chill out in the evenings with 2 rooms in which to sit & relax,read a book etc with as much complimentary tea/coffee & biscuits as you need 😀 Huge choice of breakfast options including an extremely tasty Full Irish Breakfast with homemade brown soda bread made with Macroom Brown Flour😋. Cereals, cheese,salami,fresh orange juice & fresh fruit salad.

Nothing to dislike about this property really!!

Very attractive & well appointed property in large grounds. Quiet and serene. Rooms were very comfortable. A comfortable lounge where tea/coffee was available round the clock and also a well equipped honour bar. Gave an opportunity to also interact with other guests. The breakfast was excellent and served in a beautifully appointed breakfast room. The hostess very kindly gifted us a bottle of her home made marmalade which we had really liked !

No tea/coffee making facilities provided in the rooms which is a bit disconcerting if you want your privacy while having your bed tea. One has to go down to the Lounge. The country home is bit of a distance away from the town centre and it's not really a comfortable or pleasant walk to the town. One probably needs to take a car.

We stayed at Gleann Fia Country House for three nights and it was by far the best hotel experience we had during our vacation in Ireland. Surrounded by nature, in a very quiet place a few kilometres away from the city centre of Killarney, Gleann Fia is the perfect location for touring around the ring of Kerry. The owners and the staff were extremely friendly and caring, and provided several tips that turned out to be useful during our stay. Breakfast was great: all the food was either homemade or locally sourced, while hot dishes were cooked to order. The house featured a cozy lounge area with a wide variety of drinks to choose from. Our room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. An overall great experience, we felt at home the whole time!

I love that this place is only 15mins walking distance from Killarney town centre. It means that you can stay out on a little patch of peace and tranquility but can trot into the pubs and restaurants whenever you want. It has a tree-lined drive, a river running through a mini-woodland and an apiary. Plenty out-front parking. Bedrooms are clean and comfy with super comfortable beds. There’s an honour bar for night-time drinks, chats and reading, and a light-filled breakfast room with a delicious spread of local and home-made produce. Conor, Bridget and all the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly, and they always made sure I had the best of their local knowledge and safety advice since I was travelling alone. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Hope to return sooner rather than later.

This is not a ‘dislike’, just something to be aware of. Returning to the BnB at night requires a taxi because even though the road is good, it’s not well lit, and revellers do be drunk. I was informed of this and given a local female taxi driver’s number by Conor, I could always get a lift within minutes, and it only cost 10e to return safely home in minutes. Well worth it. Recommend to all guests.

Conor and Brigid are wonderful hosts, they have invested a lot of love and effort in making a beautiful country house, and made sure guests were welcomed and have a comfortable stay. Gleann Fia Country House has set a very high standard for us to seek every time we look to book a regular hotel / BnB during vacations. We hope to be back again soon. We met incredible group of fellow travelers and made really good friends. Onsite EV charging points, honour bar system, plentiful of parking, sumptuous breakfast (home made breads, preserves) - these are some of the things that stood out for us.

The bedding felt a bit warm for the weather. But overall it was an exception stay.
