Summary: Herlihyโ€™s Halfway House is the perfect little place for all your adventures in County Kerry. Host Marieโ€™s delightful former family pub is a fantastic setting to come back to after a visit to Tralee, Killarney or a trip around the spectacular Ring of Kerry. Marie is simply the best host, making us so welcome, and her knowledge of the local community, culture and best spots is remarkable. Weโ€™ve loved our visit and will be back soon.

Summary: We loved being able to stay in an old pub and so neat to see all the history of our hostโ€™s family. Very comfortable and great location to see many things. How often do you get a pub all to yourself?!

Summary: Staying in a former pub was really something special! Marie is a great and friendly host, reacting very fast on WhatsApp questions, having good tipps as well, good internet. Close to Dingle and RingOfKerry and a store direcly across the street. The street and the craws where a bit loud and the bed a little small - everything else was fine. Unfortunately there is no nice pub in walking distance for food and a beer.

Summary: It was first fun to stay in a place that was once a pub! Beautifully decorated and very well situated. We rented a car and we found it to be very nicely located to explore and have a place to return each evening. Marie was a delight and patient as we learned about plumbing fixtures functions we had not been familiar with. We had a lovely kitchen to cook our breakfast and with a store right across the street, it was quite convenient. There was parking off the road. Marie also let us know the train was within walking distance if we chose not to drive. Thank you again Marie!

Summary: Marie was an amazing host. She provided daily assistance with sightseeing adventures. She is a wealth of knowledge! The house was extremely comfortable and close to all the necessities with a grocery store across the street and a pub and kebab place a few houses down. We ended up staying a couple days longer because we had such a great time!
