Josephine was so hospitable and thoughtful. To be offered tea and homemade scones upon our arrival after a long drive was such a kind gesture which we'll always remember. Everything about Edencrest is absolutely top notch from the huge comfy bed, large bathroom to the homemade produce...I would say to anyone contemplating a night or 6 in Bantry , don't miss this unforgettable experience!

“The house and room superb but the star of the show was Josephine!”
The property was beautiful, rooms immaculate and very comfortable and the views were breathtaking. Every detail for guests had been considered. The breakfast was fit for a king! However despite how fantastic everything was, the absolute star of the show was Josephine! She was so warm, welcoming and entertaining, we left feeling we were leaving behind a friend!

“Wonderful”
Everything. :) stayed for one night, the room was extremely clean, comfortable and neat, with an amazing view of the bay. The breakfast was absolutely amazing with a good selection. Excellent location, especially if you’re looking for a place to stay before doing the Ring of Kerry like we did. Josephine was super friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t ask for better hosts! Will 100% stay again :)

“Excellence on so many levels.”
This is an exceptional B&B surpassing any we have ever experienced. The hosts Josephine and her husband provide accommodation that is spotlessly clean with unreal attention to detail. Breakfast is excellent with great choices to meet all preferences. The friendly atmosphere and Josephine's enthusiasm for excellence makes this a B&B to return to and I'd highly recommend it.

“Superb property and wonderful hosts”
Lovely welcome from Josephine, made even better with home-cooked welcoming goodies. Our three rooms were large and very well appointed. The shared sitting room was comfortable with superb views across the bay. The breakfast was excellent and on departure Josephine and Barry took the time to see us safely on our journey

Our stay at Edencrest was a joy! Josephine was the perfect host as was Barry who drove us to our restaurant when we couldn’t get a taxi. We were made to feel very welcome, cleanliness was excellent, breakfast very tasty and plentiful.

Josephine and Barry have a beautifully appointed home. They are the most charming of hosts and offer the warmest welcome imaginable.

“Edencrest was more than anyone could hope for.”
The welcome from Josephine was exceptionally friendly and set the scene for our stay. Barry recommended two trips to us, both of which were amazing. The room was spacious, well decorated and extremely comfortable, there was the bonus of the visitors lounge, which although we didn’t use, was good to know was there if we’d wanted to.
