We stayed at O'Sullivans B&B last week and it is simply not possible to praise the accommodation, our hosts and our overall stay highly enough.
The accommodation is clean throughout and it has modern finishes but still with a nice traditional feel. The location is great. Right in the National Park, on the edge of the woodland and surrounded by mountains. It is a 5 minute walk to the nearest pub which is attached to the Muckross Spa and Hotel. There is a communal sitting room for guests which is comfortable and kept warm by a real log burner. The breakfast is delicious and all home cooked with really good ingredients. We had the full Irish everyday but there is also cereals and yoghurts on offer. We were also offered poached or scrambled eggs one day for a change. The full Irish was too good to pass up though!!
Bernie and Seamus could not do enough for us. They were always on hand to offer pots of tea or coffee if we were in, but without feeling intrusive. They provided us with local knowledge and literature on walking and climbing routes and offered to take our wet gear to dry it ready for the next day after a days walking or hiking. They also dropped us to meet our bus and take us in to town on several occasions. We were there when storm Ophelia hit and our flight was subsequently cancelled. Not only did Bernie and Seamus make our room available for an extra two nights until we could fly home, but they also provided us with a home cooked lunch as it was too risky to leave the house while the storm was hitting. All of this I would class as 'above and beyond'.
Put simply, it is one of the best places we have ever stayed, we have already recommended it to others and we cannot wait to go back ourselves.
Thanks Bernie and Seamus, we will see you soon!!
