Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We stayed a couple of nights for a wedding nearby and Bills Barns was a perfect base. Everything was clean, comfortable and cosy especially with the little stove and there was plenty of hot water. Geraldine responded promptly and helpfully to my questions and it was a lovely touch to provide home baked scones and bread, milk, butter, tea, coffee, orange juice, jam and firewood for the stove. Thank you for a great stay.

Beautiful location and everything inside so new and comfortable.
Liked everything
Superbe appartement, décoré avec beaucoup de goût et une ambiance particulièrement cosy. L’endroit est très calme et agréable, on s’y sent immédiatement bien. Nous avons vraiment eu l’impression d’être chez nous dès notre arrivée. Nous avons adoré notre séjour et nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
Whe appreciate the calm of this large apartment, with terrasse. It was nearly Kenmare and the kerry way. Thank's for the pieces of homebread and scones, so delicious.

Mooi appartement met moderne keuken. Goede bedden maar bovenal fijne badkamer met een fantastische douche. Mooi uitzicht op de bergen. Verder ruime parkeergelegenheid.
Geen persoonlijk ontvangst door de host maar wel prima instructies gehad.
Super easy to find, good communication with the owner, quiet, clean, great view from the back patio. Loved the extra care for us - found milk, juice, preserves, and baked goodies upon arrival.
Location was great - we would have liked to be able to walk into town but unfortunately the road was too busy. But we were very near by car so it was fine.
Terrasse très appréciée avec belle vue. L'ensemble est très agréable et décoré avec goût. Petites attentions dans le réfrigérateur, à l'arrivée.
Des petits soucis ponctuels de coupure d'électricité ou eau liés à l'emplacement rural du logement.
Was für eine schöne Wohnung. Direkt am Ring of Kerry, trotzdem ruhig. Schon beim Eintreten fühlten wir uns wohl. Geraldine, wir kommen gerne wieder.
This is a delightful place just out of Kenmare but great for touring the Ring of Kerry.

Schöne, moderne, gut ausgestattete und saubere Wohnung mit kleiner Terasse, in ruhiger Lage, etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums. Sehr nette Vermieterin.
Nothing every thing was perfect
Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön eingerichtet und sehr gemütlich. Die Lage ist perfekt, um diverse Gegenden in Kerry zu besuchen.
Beautiful and comfortable. Everything you would need and more. Lovely homemade bread left, just a very thoughtful place.
For guests who were not diables the bathroom was disappointing but would be good for those disabled.
Mooi appartement met een prachtig uitzicht. Ruime slaapkamer en badkamer. Goed uitgeruste keuken en een wasmachine.
Alles was naar onze wensen.
It’s obvious that much thought and care has been put into this property. This is a renovated barn on a family owned farm and is just beautiful with wonderful views and a very nice patio area which would be idyllic in warm weather. Immaculately clean and fully equipped, it is also handicap-friendly with a roll in shower. Radiator heat and also a wood stove with a days’s worth of wood supplied. Geraldine reached out to us to let us know she was available for any questions. The fridge was stocked for the first morning with milk, orange juice, butter and preserves and a home made loaf was waiting for us on the countertop. Just an observation, not a complaint; due to the fact that it’s a former stone barn, it took a little time to warm up. We were here in mid-December and came prepared with the right clothes. The fire was very welcome.
Beautiful apartment .Spotlessly clean and very well equipped.Gorgeous views across the valley and to the mountains . Comfortable and homely....the homemade pear scones were a lovely touch.
Just a suggestion .....it would be an idea to put another mirror behind the door in the bedroom that could be used for the hairdryer...the present mirror is located too far from the bedside plug .
EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT 👌. NICE AND QUIET, VERY CLEAN GREAT VIEW NICE COWS.
Tv was too high up to watch properly
Beautifully refurbished, tasteful and efficient. Lovely outlook to hills from terrace. Everything new and spotless.
It was perfect on every way.
Clean, comfortable. Beautiful views from apartment. Good amenities. Wonderful fireplace. Lots of TV channels to choose from.
Issue with hot water - no hot water for 24 hrs. It was fixed whilst we were there but this wasted our time. We were only there for 3 nights. Out of landlords control and arranged a plumber to fix, but no good for us after our walk on the mountain in the rain and cold. If you pay premium and don't get a premium experience, something should be done as an apology, more than saying 'sorry'. Difficult to find. Instructions could be clearer. Consider what3words location or GPS coordinates. TV is high up on the wall in living room. Get neck ache from looking up.
From the moment I arrived I was more than pleased with the accommodation. The host left me some brown bread with a few essentials, which was a lovely touch. The apartment was clean and had everything you could need. I was delighted with this apartment and the wonderful views surrounding it.
The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the check in time of 4pm. In my experience 95% of places are a check in time of 3pm. However, it's a very small thing when compared to how much I enjoyed my stay.
Fantastic views from the property and nice location just outside Kenmare to explore Kerry and Cork. Lovely wood fire stove . Can be booked as individual apartment or along with the adjoining larger apartment so great for solo travelers, couples and families.
This is a beautiful modern well thought out apartment worth a 5 star rating
Great location. Easy access. Lovely view.
Great location 5min to village excellent
Nothing just perfect
Bill's Barns is a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed our time there. It was very clean and comfortable and just a lovely apartment. The wood stove was appreciated on a cold and rainy day. The apartment was very comfortable. The delicious snack that was left for us was lovely to find when we arrived. The owner was very helpful when we needed help locking the door. We would stay there again in the future. Lovely place with a great history behind it.
I cannot think of anything I didn't like about Bill's Barns. The directions were spot on and it was close by to the town so getting there was quite easy. Everything about the apartment was great so I have no complaints at all.
My partner and I absolutely loved. It was spacious, well-lit. The location was perfect, close to shops, The apartment was also fully equipped with kitchen appliances Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I would definitely consider staying there again.
Apartment was lovely, nice private view, parking, close to Kenmare, comfortable sofa and bed, good bathroom, well-stocked kitchen. A home away from home. Would definitely recommend.
No soap or shampoo in the bathroom, shower didn't drain very fast. But these are minor issues. Overall we loved it.
Fabulous apartment
Microwave is missing
We were delighted with the stay. We had booked as we were attending a wedding at the Dromquinna Manor. The host was very welcoming and accommodating. The apartment was lovely. The host even left Milk/Orange Juice and coffee in the apartment for us to use in the morning. The host checked in with us via message incase we needed anything.
Orange juice, butter and jams, scones . Fast answers for our questions .
It is a lovely apartment, well laid out and has efficient use of space. It was an ideal base for exploring the area and Kenmare has all the facilities needed.
Nothing
Lovely quiet location, very new and clean. The well equipped kitchen and the welcome pack was great, especially the homemade bread, yum! Appreciated having a well equipped laundry. Great location on the Ring of Kerry and very close to Kenmare.
I was surprised the kitchen didn't include a microwave. If there is someone showering in the other apartment, it's rather loud in the bedroom, (I think their bathroom must be upstairs?). This was particularly annoying at 10.30pm, so perhaps they could be asked not to shower late at night/early in the morning?
Very comfortable, and welcoming
Loved the location as it was close to town but peaceful with a sunny patio and a view of cows and pasture.
Wonderful place and location. Liked being out in the country.
The bed was very creaky. Whenever one of us moved, it made noise. They need to get a new bed frame. The bathroom is designed with the open concept, so there is no shower enclosure. They put up a shower curtain to try and contain the water, but whenever we took a shower, water would spread all over the bathroom floor.
Location, Outlook, Fireplace & Amenities
Tiles on the bathroom floor can be slippery when wet
Wonderful spotlessly cleaning New and a lovely feeling Great little wooden fire

Place was really nice, with a nice touch of home made pear scones\jam on arrival, juice in fridge , fire place set and ready to light. Place was immaculate and very cosy. Nicest place to stay in a long time. Thanks Geraldine.
Leaving the key out so I can check in anytime I like. Clean & the bread 🍞 & milk left in fridge. Sticks & firelighters in stove. Excellent place.
Only thing that let's your place down. If you fix this. 100% probably one of nicest Air BNB I stayed in. The bed , the underneath support legs need the be shaved down as they are not the right height and just fall down .
