O Donnabhain's

Another nice find this time in Kenmare. Booked in for 2 nights B&B. Lovely reception by very cheery staff. Great room nice spacious clean and tidy. Shower over bath was a bonus as was ready for a good soak. The pub itself is full of the history warm and welcoming. Lots on offer beer wine and the spirits. Plenty on the menu and the food was well presented and plentiful. The staff as I said were very chatty and nothing was too much. Breakfast sets you up for the day a good hearty meal. All in all good value for money and a great base for exploring.

The host family is very cheerful and genuinely concerned about the well-being of their guests. We ate the best fish and chips here so far (after many trips to England, Scotland, and Ireland). We spent five wonderful nights there. On the second floor (room 112), you can't hear any live music in the evening. Perfect, we'd come back anytime!!

The young Aussie lady who served us was lovely, the atmosphere was great, but the food was 50/50. I had chicken wings and duck spring rolls and they were both good. HOWEVER, my wife had what was described as crispy pork belly. What she received was overcooked gelatinous and inedible. There was no crispness, it was just a blob of fat on top of the meat. No thank you. If you don’t know how to cook crispy pork belly, don’t offer it. More attention to detail required so people get what was described on the menu.
