The views from our room were absolutely stunning. We woke up to mist rolling over the mountains and it felt like a dream. The breakfast was the best we had in all of Ireland.
The O'Sullivan family made us feel so at home. They recommended the most wonderful hidden spots along the Ring of Kerry that we would never have found on our own. A truly special place.
We've stayed in many B&Bs across Ireland and Hillside House is hands down the best. Immaculate rooms, incredible breakfast, and the kindest hosts. We're already planning our return trip.
