Loved our stay at Abbey Court. The staff were wonderful, from early check-in, to tips on what to do, to the fantastic breakfast each morning. On top of that they are just friendly and lovely people who provided us with the perfect space to enjoy Kenmare, and tour the Ring of Kerry. 5/5 and would highly recommend.
