We stayed 2 nights at the Stepping Stone while walking the Kerry Way.
This is a very remote place an it is very special getting the opportunity to be in such a beautiful environment. John and Sandy are great hosts. And we loved Columbus (a talking parakeet) and Lilly. 
We arrived wet to the bone; John and Sandy arranged all our gear and were very attentive.
John prepared delicious diners and the breakfast was splendid (that cheese tomato omelet!!).
You will feel very welcome and John and Sandy will do everything to make your stay complete and special.
We had a Mountain View from our window, while staying there, you can use the lounge our the cafe. We loved it all.
Take your time in Bridia Valley, don't rush, certainly not when it rains. The path can be very tricky then.
Make a reservation at this lovely guest house and you will have a magical time.



Magical place in Bridia Valley with great hosts.

John and Sandy have created a truly delightful, one-of-a-kind guesthouse in their beautifully restored stone cottage in the dramatic, wild Bridia Valley. A friendly welcome, comfortable room, cold Guinness and sensational food - what more could you want at the end of a day on the epic Kerry Way hiking trail? Oh, hang on...how about a budgerigar which says 'Zelenskyy'? Yes, you read that correctly. Recommended.

Great guesthouse on the Kerry Way

We stayed here on part of the Kerry Way walk. John and Sandy were hugely accommodating. We enjoyed delicious Guinness and stunning food., The bed (at top of house) was the most comfortable I’ve ever been in. 
We had great fun here with the hosts. John has a quirky sense of humour and turns out a fabulous rack of lamb!

Lovely place

We stayed at the Stepping Stone for one night before climbing Carrauntoohil and it was the most lovely experience. We have never received such warm hospitality before in a B&B, John and Sandy went above and beyond to make our time memorable. We arrived late in the day and opted to stay there for dinner - we had 3 courses which were all delicious! The breakfast was also faultless - the best we have had! The views from the dining room and our bedroom were breathtaking, and we had a very cozy sleep. Could not recommend enough!

An unforgettable experience!

This is an incredible place to stay, a unique place in many ways. It’s down the end of the Bridia Valley, which is a cul de sac on the Kerry Way, surrounded by mountains that tower around the valley, so it’s ideal for getting away from it all. John and Sandy are so welcoming and friendly, and the room was very cosy, with a very modern fitted bathroom. The food is delicious, from the freshly cooked breakfasts, to the three course dinners. For dinner, a varied menu with several choices is provided, which changes every day. How John and Sandy manage to do this for multiple guests is beyond me, but they do! In fact, I would strongly recommend adding the dinner to your stay, as you won't need to leave the valley during your stay. The B&B is directly across the road from the start of the safe and scenic Lack Road route up Carrauntoohil, a route which you will likely have all to yourself until you reach the Caher Ridge, unlike other routes on the northern side which are overcrowded. John is also a mine of information on the mountain, having climbed it over a hundred times. Packed lunches can also be provided on request for your day in the mountains.

A little piece of paradise in paradise

We came here as part of our honeymoon and were more than impressed with location, quality of food, and the warmth and interaction with Sandy and John (and other guests) - we had a fabulous time and much better than in pricey hotels in Killarney.  
It was wonderful to start walks from here, and enjoy the much less traveled and serene route up Carrantoohil - armed with a fabulous packed lunch from Stepping Stones that was more than ample for a days walk.  We will definitely be back.

Amazing hidden gem!

We stopped at the Stepping Stone on our second day of walking the Kerry Way. After a long day of hiking and a bit of rain, we were welcomed with hot tea and homemade scones. John and Sandy are the delightful hosts of the B&B. The small guest house is warm and welcoming, and the dinner John prepared and Sandy served with outmost care was delicious.  The place is run with precision and efficiency, probably thanks to John’s experience as a butler to important people and to the partnership both of them have formed over the years at this beautiful place in the Brida Valley.

A good night rest in the Brida Valley

John and Sandy created this lovely place by restoring an old house back to life in 1991. Now it's doesn't just serve as a very welcome lunch place for hikers on the Kerry way (the cookie monster Cafe), but it also has a B&B attached.
John and Sandy do not just give you the warmest welcome they also make their own bread, scones and ice cream. The food is wherever possible lokal and freshly prepared.
A delicious dinner was served last night and afterwards John showed us the Milky way which is easily seen on a clear night. Bridia Valley belongs to the Dark Sky Area so stargazers have quite something to see 😍
All in all a lovely, comfortable and cozy place to stay in the middle of nowhere. 

What a gem!! 

Sandy and John were delightful hosts! They were so kind and welcoming, we felt like we were staying with family. Sandy is an excellent cook. We both had the lamb for dinner, and it was perfect. Breakfast was also amazing!! Our room was cozy and clean. We hope we can come back again some day.

Kindest hosts ever and delicious food!

Wonderful lovely hosts....John is a no nonsense sensible and great guy with his feet solidly planted on the ground~get him to tell some tales....Sandy seldom showed up without a smile and graciousness...welcomed by both warmly & served  one of our favorite meals in Ireland. Our only regret is we had but one night at The Stepping Stone-would have luved to spend more time. Don't miss this spot for great food, laughs and a goods nights sleep.
