An angel on the Kerry Way.
We were walking the Kerry Way, the long stretch from Sneem (36km), I rang Julia to let her know our time off arrival and she immediately hopped in her car to pick us up when we " hit the tarmac". at the bottom off the hill.
In the evening, Julia dropped us at a Pub to get some food. So attentive, we were very tired.
The B&B is a lovely place with a very beautiful garden. You will feel very comfortable.
Julia and Efna prepared our breakfast, Efna is the sweetest person and the breakfast is delicious.
In the morning, Julia dropped us at a point to get on the Way again, but first stopped at a shop to get some snacks. She is very concerned about her guests. 
Best place to stay, especially when you are walking the Kerry Way.
We wish Julia and Efna all the best.

Absolutely a hidden Gem of a B&B..! The owner( I think name is Clare?) and her friend that did breakfast…! 11 vintage bikers stayed at the same time.. added to our experience too..! Really comfy beds, clean & lovely bathrooms breakfast was very good& friendly almost like mom was cooking for you..!! Also fantastic value don’t miss this one..!

Hidden gem in Kemare comfy, friendly experience

From the moment we arrived until two days later when we hated to leave, we enjoyed our time with Julia (I'm ready to get back right now) .  The home in itself is a "showplace" but, above all else..It's Julia that tops the cake here.  Her genuine friendliness, knowledge and laughter make you want to stay longer I know we did..Perfect spot for a day on the Beara Ring and then setting off for Kerry..also the closeness to Kenmare make it superb location..Breakfast is awesome too.  Thanks Julia, we totally enjoyed An Bruachan.! xoxo

Pure Irish Hospitality and Much More!

We received the confirmation, with CB as a guarantee. We had the day of our arrival on the phone to specify the time of our arrival. Until then nothing very normal. We arrive around 8:00 p.m., and then the owner apologizes to us, and explains that she can't accommodate us! There follows a smoky explanation, where she tells us that she is working in addition to her site with another reservation, that it usually works well but that there was a bug there! and in addition to that there is a day in the room where a family has also organized a small meal with a friend, then she had to book lunch, and then she has to make sure that she is not a victim of the B&B. But in 2017 we have a small coffee shop where B&B.

We got a lot of scammed!!!

A very nice welcome for a very nice B&B. The family room was very comfortable and the Parents/Children space a little separate. Breakfast is very cozy. A little away from the city centre but quiet (with a small stream at the back) High-end services for a very light price....

It's a great B&B.

A lovely home by a bubbling brook, beautifully decorated, with comfy beds and a lovely breakfast! A home away from home! An will even “mother you” by giving advice or scolding you if you’re late. All part of the Irish experience! I enjoyed every minute :)

An Irish experience

Old fashioned greeting with all the pleasantries that one would expect .
A very helpful and fun lady . The premises were very clean and the  breakfast was plentiful. A very nice just out of town .
Even a lift into town for our evening meal .
Thank you to a lovely lady.

Great place with a lively fun and helpful lady.

Host Julia was welcoming, warm and full of fabulous suggestions to add to my itinerary. Her library is amazing and she is generous in allowing guests to borrow books. 

I stayed in the Twin Room (solo traveler) for 7 nights and it was comfortable, spotless, tided up daily and had a beautiful view of the brook behind the house (and a calming soundtrack at night).  My entire stay was peaceful and absolutely wonderful. The other guests were courteous, respectful and friendly. 

Breakfast daily was delicious and varied. 

It's a short walk into town on a paved sidewalk and Kenmare makes an amazing base to visit many wonderful things in County Kerry. 

Would highly recommend and will book another stay when I return to Ireland again. :)

Absolutely delightful

What a fab hideaway, on the banks of the river. The host Julia could not have been nicer. The room was perfect for two friends travelling together. Breakfast was great, with a choice of dishes to suit all. 

Within walking distance of the town. Where there's a choice of bars with outside dining. Julia recommended some places which were spot on. Lovely lady, lovely place. 

Highly recommended this  as a base. 
Thanks so much for everything.

Just great

We had a very negative experience staying at An Bruachan. I was travelling there from Dublin, along with 2 friends coming from different parts of the country. I was delayed in work on Friday and then caught in bad traffic exiting the city as a result. We had previously contacted the host out of courtesy with an ETA of approx. 9pm. The host never responded to this message. On our way down we were further delayed due to driving conditions after storm Ellen. I rang the host at around 8.30pm to explain that had been delayed and would only be able to arrive by 11pm. The host was extremely aggressive and derogatory on the phone. I asked the B&B owner could she leave a key outside (considering she was so furious that we were going to be there at 11) and she said not a chance. My friends and I were completely shocked by how we were spoken to as a result of this delay and stressed for the rest of the car journey as a result. The host again was extremely rude to us upon our arrival, commenting on how driving to Kerry at night “wasn’t a sensible thing to do”, speaking over us and questioning us in an incredibly aggressive manner. The next day someone else served our breakfast and all was fine until when we were leaving and she then decided to give us another talk because ‘we are young girls and obviously don’t understand that this is not a hotel’. We love to hike and regularly stay in B&Bs and would never intentionally disrespect hard working people in the hospitality industry. Similarly we have never come across a host like this in all of the wonderful places that we have stayed. We are surprised that the reviews are so positive and disappointed we weren’t treated in the same regard as other guests obviously have been. I don’t usually write negative reviews and am keen to support irish businesses (particularly at this time) but our experience at an Bruachán was horrendous and being fair to ourselves I want to comment on it. To point out the positives of the place, it was clean and we were happy with the breakfast. We left immediately after it, however, as the atmosphere was very uncomfortable.
