Dallas Chip Woods
I thoroughly enjoyed my time visiting the Torine House. A beautiful house, very clean. The host was kind and welcoming. Breakfast was good. Especially enjoyed meeting Catherine's husband Tony (I believe I have his name correct). He was most kind and gave lots of wonderful advice for how to see and experience as much of the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula (and more). Wonderful hosts in a great location. Wonderful communication with them. Highly recommend!

Of all the places we stayed in, Torine House was our least favorite. We needed to be up very early the next morning for a planned ride in the National Park and were not offered an early breakfast of any kind. We requested cereal and fruit when we noted that the courtesy had been extended to another guest. We did not feel welcome.The room was spotlessly clean and the breakfasts were good but I would not recommend Torine House.

Dear Barbara I was very disappointed to read your review. I am sorry you did not feel welcome in my home, this was certainly not my intention. I start serving breakfast at 7am and if guests are looking for breakfast before this time, like yourselves, I always leave out cereal and fruit for them. This is certainly not a problem in my home as I don't like anyone leaving my house, hungry. Thank you for the lovely comments about our rooms and breakfast. I hope that you enjoyed your trip to Ireland. Catherine
