Our stay at Muxnaw Lodge was delightful! The room was big, the bed was very comfortable and breakfast offers several great options to get you through the better part of the day. Hannah, the landlady, is a lovely woman who cares very much about the house and her guests.

I think the place could do with a bit of a spruce up. the drive way is dangerous no room for error. the stairs inside need attention.

the staff were friendly. the beds comfy slept well. the view is spectacular. the breakfast delicious.

The host was very kind and helpful, and we really enjoyed speaking to her. It's a lovely, old house with plenty of character, and we'd definitely return!

Other than a not quite perfectly comfortable king bed (felt like two twins put together, each with a slight dip in the middle), everything was great.

The lodge is historic and beautiful with superb views. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip with several choices. We had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast.

I honestly can’t think of anything.

Our Breakfast which was included was absolutely delicious. There was a nice variety to choose from and the presentation was just so lovely. The fresh bread selection a bonus! and the room was so very charming and comfortable. The location of Muxnaw Lodge was just perfect! We were able to easily access all the places we planned to go👍🏻😊

The only drawback to the place was the relatively narrow driveway off of the road, which then heads rather steeply to the lodge - just go slow a be careful!

Our hostess was very accommodating with our request for a different room layout. She was also helpful with information about where to eat and places to visit while in Kenmare. The room we stayed in had a nice overlook of the river with two chairs arranged for comfortable viewing. We were interested in hiking in the area and the location next to Kenmare was convenient to accessing trailways as well as providing a variety of fare. We even walked to town and back on one occasion.

There were a couple of cleaning "oversights"...one was a moldy teabag in the teapot in our room and there was some sort of hair (animals with previous guests, perhaps?) on the bedding. Muxnaw is a bit out of town, and the driveway from the road up to the property is steep and narrow, but it sits up on a hill and is well back from the road, so very quiet.

Staying at Muxnaw Lodge is a bit like going to stay at Grandma's House...you instantly feel comfortable and "at home" on arrival! Hannah and her daughter Nina are very outgoing and very receptive to questions, etc. While the property is an older one (and what a history it has!), it is clean and, for the most part, very well-maintained. Our upstairs room was spacious and well appointed; while some might find the older style of furniture and decor a bit "off-putting", we found it wonderful, adding to the overall charm of the property. We felt we got got good value for the price; lots of on-site parking, and wonderfully prepared breakfasts in a well-appointed dining room. Outstanding views of Kenmare Bay from our second-story room.

I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique inviting Irish experience. If you are looking for modern amenities and aesthetics do not stay here.

My husband I took our first trip to Ireland and stayed at 3 luxurious modern hotels, one 1797 pub & inn and 3 bed and breakfasts. After 3 weeks I cannot stop thinking of how charming, comfy and inviting the Muxnaw Lodge Bed and Breakfast was. It wasn’t the nicest, newest or oldest but it was my favorite; mostly because of how welcoming and accommodating the host, Hanna was. Staying at the Muxnaw is like taking a step back in time, staying at your fairy grandma’s. Antique furniture, rugs and knickknacks fill every room and corner. The grounds are magical; a bit wild, filled with beautiful gardens, trees, shrubs and birds. On a couple occasions I saw a gold-crowned fairy wren. Poems are engraved on large stones surrounding the area to the west of the lodge. The views from our room and the grounds of Kenmare Bay and Our Lady’s Bridge were spectacular especially first thing in the morning when the bay was misty and clear as glass. The hearty full Irish breakfast was delicious, Irish bacon, sausage, eggs, fresh orange juice, toast; all started off with tasty homemade breakfast breads. The salmon (kind of like lox) and eggs were amazing too. The Lodge is close to the historical town of Kenmare, a bit touristy but cute with fun pubs and gift shops. I hope to get the opportunity to stay at The Muxnaw again!!! Thank you, Hanna for your warm hospitality and an unforgettable experience!!!

We had to leave.

What an awesome place!! It is a converted historic home with a stunning view of the sea and bridge. The rooms are huge and the bathroom was great with a tub and loads of room!! The hosts were just terrific with lots of great suggestions for touring and dining. Breakfast was really good and served with a smile. We thought the location was great. It feels like you are in the country, but we were only a 10 minute beautiful and easy walk into town where all the shops, pubs, and restaurants were. We wish we could have stayed another night we loved it so much!

Hannah is a wonderful host! She was full of good travel recommendations. Breakfast was delicious and we slept really well. The location is a great jumping off point for many local attractions. We stayed 2 nights, and wished we had booked one more.

The fact that it was built in the 1800's and had unique qualities but still updated to have modern conveniences.

Hanna, our Irish host, extended the warmest of welcomes during our two-night stay. Her homemade breakfast, featuring delightful tea and soda bread, scrambled eggs, and salmon, was a highlight. The peaceful surroundings and comfy beds ensured a restful sleep. Hanna's hospitality made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommended for a charming and tranquil stay.

Great start for the ring of Kerry. Close to Kenmare. The house keepers were exceptional and a pleasure to talk to. Good hardy breakfast to start your day.
