Algret House B&B

Algret House is located outside of the Killarney city center in a quiet residential neighborhood. I know this was a issue for some previous reviewers, but for my wife and I we enjoyed being outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown Killarney but still only a 10-15 minute walk away. Gretta and her husband live next door to the B&B, and her husband helps cook breakfast in the morning. Algret House has its own car park attached to its property. We were welcomed by the owner, Gretta, when we arrived, and she is a delightful person. We chatted a bit and she showed us the eating area and explained how everything worked around the B&B. She is very organized and has everything that you might want. There is a common refrigerator for people that want to keep things cold. Our room was nice, clean, and appointed with everything we needed. Breakfast was served between 7-8:30am. Gretta has a good list of breakfast options, including a 1/2 Irish Breakfast, which was the perfect amount for us, and she even offered to do some modifications (like 2 eggs instead of just 1). When breakfast wasn't busy she chatted with us after we ate. We learned so much from her about the area and the way of living around there. And did I mention she was delightful! We would definitely stay at Algret House again. Gretta does a great job making sure your stay is pleasant and comfortable.

A fantastic place to stay. Our room was spacious, comfortable, well-appointed and very clean and neat. Our host Greta was delightful and helpful,even packing us a take away breakfast with our early departure. Breakfast was plentiful,delicious with many options. The location is 5 minute walk or so from High Street and National Park. Highly recommend!

Everything is perfect! Spotlessly clean throughout, ample choice of delicious breakfasts - with the most delectable homemade scones (thanks to Greta), a very comfortable bed, en-suite room, a kettle and plenty of refreshments in the room, a usb socket, a very handy shared guest fridge, a bookshelf and information leaflets/guides are accessible, great location for walking into the town, ample parking, and a very warm welcome from our hosts. Can’t rate this B&B highly enough.

From the minute we arrived and greeted by our host Greta until we left with a warm cheerio, this was a great night's stay in what is a very welcoming and well appointed bed and breakfast This was an excellent facility with well appointed room which was exceptionally clean and warm. Good to see that there was bottled water in the room which helped if we wanted to make tea/coffee. Very comfortable bed and the shower was brilliant with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was delicious, all cooked fresh and the home made scones were an added bonus. Algret House is no more than a gentle 10 minute stroll into the centre of Killarney but it is far enough from the centre to guarantee no excessive road noise from traffic. Without doubt if we are ever back in Killarney, we will certainly be looking at staying in the Algret Bed and Breakfast again. A gem of a place at a very reasonable price.

My favorite accomodations in Ireland. Greta was such a great host! She was attentive, helpful and super nice! Her Irish breakfast was delicious, my favorite one while in Ireland. Not to mention she had fresh scones every morning! The room was cosy and warm. I highly recommend!!

We stayed at Algret House in February for a night, and it was a wonderful experience. We drove the Ring of Kerry that day and were pleased that we had until 7pm to check in. Upon our arrival, Greta greeted us and she was a delightful, kind person. She explained everything we needed to know about the house and the things to do in Killarney. Our room was perfect with a view of the church spires in town, it was so comfortable after our long day. I the morning, the breakfast was delicious. We had the Irish breakfast (cooked by Mr. Doyle) as well as the assortment of cold options that were laid out buffet style. We were so happy to have a lovely conversation with Greta about her upbringing and the changes that have come to Killarney over the years. The entire experience was such a delight that we hope to return again. We can’t recommend Algret House enough! It added so much to our already amazing trip to Killarney ❤️

I seem to have had a different experience than most of the people who have posted. My welcome was not friendly at all, it was rushed and not very welcoming. My exit was the same way, very rushed by Greta. The doors to the rooms are so heavy they are difficult to open. However, the food was good. I would not stay here again.

Greta and Al are excellent hosts and a perfect complement! to each other Their breakfast is wonderful, my wife enjoy every dish, including the black pudding, a version of the blood sausage from Argentina. Do to my health condition, I required a low cholesterol diet do to my previous awful diet. They kindly prepared special breakfast for me! Egg whites, non-fat milk, berries, etc. Rooms nice an super clean. Great example of Irish people this wonderful couple.

This is an outstanding B&B situated on a quiet clos, with impressive views of the Killarney National Park and an easy ten/fifteen minutes stroll from the town centre. From the moment we walked through the front door and were welcomed by Greta we both knew that we had selected the right place to stay. The bedroom was comfortable and we slept well for all three nights of our visit. Greta provided us with plenty of information about Killarney and the surrounding area. Her husband, Alfie cooks a mighty fine breakfast that set us up for the great walks that the Kerry countryside offers. And of course it would be wrong not to mention Greta’s cherry scones which fuelled us up so well whilst enjoying the sights and sounds that were is such easy reach.
