Uniqueness and location. Convenience of the pub in the first floor was nice after hours of sightseeing. Used it as a hub for the ring of Kerry.

Difficult to reach location as it’s in a beautiful area of Glencar, a tiny village up the mountains. Staff were exceptionally warm and friendly and went above and beyond.

Fantastic place

Easy to find with friendly staff, the room was very clean with an amazing view and is only a short journey to the mountains. Made it back for dinner and the food is delicious with plenty of choice. Will be back to explore the area as I only stayed for one night. Thank you for a great visit

Beautiful surroundings

Spent 2 nights at Climbers Inn. The inn is in a stunning location in the mountains. The inn is a bit dated but clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location will not appeal to everyone as it is deep in the mountains away from any major cities or towns.

Good for folks looking for convenient stay.

Served its purpose of a quick overnight stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was average. Seems like a good place for hikers. Shower head sprayed sideways which we tightened a bit.

Great for access to the Kerry Highlands. Friendly attentive staff, great little shop, lots of parking. The bar gets lively on the weekends (End of Apr 24) but you can't hear it from the accommodation. Good food menu & well set up for camper vans too. Would recommend.
