We loved The Happy Pig 🐷 Claudia was a gorgeous host and wonderful cook! Our breakfast was brilliant and we loved our very comfortable bed. Such a fabulous stay and wished we could stay longer.

Completely wonderful place, Irma and Pickles were true stars. It’s all in the details, the cleanliness and the amazing cooking of Irma - could happily have stayed for weeks. Maybe one day we will. The artwork, the mismatched china, the fireplace, the Keith Richard photos, the red bike outside! Loved it all! 🫶🏻

A beautiful B&B just a short walk from downtown Kenmare. Lovely large home, with a country chic charm. Bedrooms are large and comfortable. Irma made us very welcomed here and made us a lovely breakfast. She also shared some great tips about food & travel in the area.

Irma was amazing… friendly and so helpful with getting us last minute dinner reservations on NYE. The accommodations weren’t comfortable and every little thing we could want was provided. Breakfast was phenomenal… from the fresh squeezed orange juice to the amazing fresh scones and main dishes. Just amazing. I can’t wait to return.

Best place to sleep in Ireland, everything is carefully detailed. A Guest House with a true identity and personality. Loved the way the host welcomed us.

I had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable establishment, and I can’t recommend it enough. The care and attention to detail in every aspect of the property are truly outstanding. From the beautifully maintained spaces to the warm and inviting atmosphere, everything reflects a commitment to excellence. The owner, Irma, and her staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Their dedication to providing an exceptional experience is evident in every interaction. The room was immaculate, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with every comfort and amenity one could need. From the cozy bed to the perfectly curated amenities, it was clear that every detail had been carefully considered. I wholeheartedly suggest this place to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay. A true gem!

Nothing - it was perfect.

Beautiful guest house. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed and there was a cosy sitting room for guests to use. Tea & cake on arrival, delicious breakfast and lots of advice on local sights & experiences.

Only thing we didn't like was having to leave so soon!

The property was easy to find with great off street parking. Our hostess greeted us warmly with an offer of tea and pie in the cosy guest lounge! The room was beautifully presented, breakfast was superb and the whole experience could not have been better. Also ideally situated within easy reach of town and of sightseeing round the Rins of Kerry and Beara.

Every aspect of our stay was perfect. Irma the host was so warm and friendly and gave us great recommendations not only for Kenmare, but for the Ring of Kerry and Dingle. We took her advice on all of it and we were so happy we did, especially about doing a private tour in Dingle :) The room was so lovely, clean and cozy and the bed amazingly comfortable. The breakfast was the best we had our entire trip. Her dog Pickles is a sweetheart! I would most definitely stay here again.

Irma is the most warm and welcoming host, her breakfasts are fabulous, the rooms are comfortable and well appointed and the sitting room downstairs is just perfect for a rainy afternoon.

We were immediately thrilled with The Happy Pig upon pulling up. Excellent property, rooms, location, service, and breakfast. It was a very easy and scenic walk into Kenmare and we were given many suggestions for dinner and for our travels the next day. It was our favourite stay of our trip to Ireland and we were sad to only have stayed one night. Would definitely recommend!

The Happy Pig is awesome. Irma is an outstanding host. She gave us a wonderful overview of the town and great recommendations for touring and restaurants. The room was very comfortable, beautiful sitting area near the fireplace and a great dining are. Breakfast was fantastic. We adored pickle ( the little dog) … very cute.

We have absolutely no complaints.

We liked everything about this place! The breakfast was by far the best we had during our 9 days in Ireland. The hosts were exceptionally gracious.

There is nothing not to like!

Our room was beautiful. The view was just lovely. It was a wonderful bit of respite in the country. Claudia, the owner was friendly and an amazing cook! We enjoyed chatting with Marie, who helps at breakfast.

The staff and the lovely dog (owner of the place). Theme and styling.

Our luggage was a bit heavy so getting up the stairs to our room was a little challenging.

The host Irma was fantastic: caring for us when we were unwell from food poisoning contracted elsewhere. The breakfasts were the freshest and best prepared of any place we stayed in Ireland. The cosy guest lounge with log fire was very inviting and all the quirky decor touches made it a special place to stay.

I could not find fault with it

The owner is so charming she offered us a cup of tea as soon as we arrived and sat down and chatted. She has the sweetest little dog called Miss pickles that I fell in love with. All of these special little thoughtful items like a doorstop that was a pig in Iron. But the grounds were spectacular and when we got there, there was a rainbow in the front yard. I think this was my favorite bed-and-breakfast in Ireland.

Room as large, clean and comfortable. Earma was a great host and made us a wonderful breakfast! Fun and easy walk to town with plenty of pubs and restaurants.

Great great great location. Love the host and the town. Comfortable

Stayed in September 2024

it's about a 10 minute walk to the town, uphill coming home, okay if you want to work off your dinner, not okay if you have issues walking

Breakfast was amazing, the staff and owner were phenomenal

Would have liked the ability to regulate the temperature in the room.

We loved the Happy Pig from the moment we drove up! Irma had a warm welcome and is running a first class B&B. The guest house is cozy and charming with a well appointed, comfortable room. The made to order breakfast was delicious along with warm banana muffins to start. The location was convenient but quiet with a short stroll into lovely Kenmare. Wished we could stay longer!
