Muxnaw Lodge in Kenmare is an attractive Victorian house, with spectacular views of the Kenmare River and Suspension Bridge. In 3 acres of gardens, at the foot of Muxnaw Mountain, this family-run bed and breakfast is listed as a historic house and offers attractive en suite rooms with free Wi-Fi.

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!

    Fantastic well designed house, with magnificent views. The Kerry Way is at the end of the driveway so great opportunity for lovely long walks. Wild swimming off the pier at Templenoe. Deer wandering through the garden at dusk. Kenmare is a lovely local town not far away.
