I cannot speak highly enough of Clare and my experience staying with her!
Not only is she kind and nurturing, she is so knowledgable about the area! She sent me and my companion on a beautiful walk along the Ring between her house and Caherdaniel, and gave us great suggestions for pubs and restaurants all around the ring of kerry. When it was time for me to move on, she sent an email full of suggestions of places to stay, things to do, based on where I'd been telling her I wanted to go. She even let me do a small load of laundry free of charge.

The view from her house is nothing short of breathtaking - even better than the pictures she put up. I guarantee you won't find a better view at any of the hostels or other B&Bs around. I extended my stay with her because of how beautiful it was and how wonderful she and her husband were. When I next come back to Ireland I will make a point to visit her and this house.

Also - she is an amazing cook!! I definitely suggest leaving time for a good breakfast because 1) the food is amazing and 2) she'll give you great advice about your goings on during breakfast.

Obviously I had a wonderful time staying with Clare and Dezy. You're cheating yourself if you're staying in the region and don't stay with them.
