I also left a review on Tripadvisor. Salmon Lean Farm was our favorite place to stay during our 10 day vacation in Ireland. Sean was an outstanding host and went out of his way to accommodate us: helping us figure out our GPS, carried my luggage and fixed us an early breakfast due to an early check out on our last day. We felt like it was our home away from home. We are planning another trip to Ireland in 2021 and we would love to return to Salmon Leap Farm.

I would call Salmon Leap the almost perfect B&B: perfect hosts LOVE mother Sheila; perfect location to town; perfect setting; perfect room even the pillows were good; and perfect breakfast. The only think not perfect was, well, actually I can't think of anything. Sean helped us tremendously with scheduling a taxi, serving breakfast, booking a tour of the Ring of Kerry. I only wish we had noticed his notation that the property housed a 5th-century archaeological site--would have enjoyed that, so if you go, make sure to ask about it. Wish we had stayed here longer.

One of the best places I have ever stayed! They owners were very easy and pleasant to be around. They were very knowledgeable about the area and even showed us how to use the GPS and helped us program it for our next destination. I will definitely stay with them on our next visit!

The Salmon Leap Farm Inn was the perfect place for us to stay as we explored County Kerry. We had a great room over looking the farm with a beautiful mountain view. It was quiet and spacious with a newly updated bathroom, so needless to say the room was overwhelmingly comfortable. We had the best nights of sleep and best full Irish breakfast of our Ireland vacation. Moreover, Sean was absolutely the best host giving us a tour of the ancient archeological site on the grounds as well as going above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. I would HIGHLY recommend the Salmon Leap Farms Inn to anybody who would like a peaceful, comfortable, and all-around great time staying in Killarney.

We stayed in late June. We very much enjoyed our stay. The environment is so peaceful and quiet. Even though the property is on a major road, there was no road noise whatsoever from our room, nor do we have direct line of sight to the road. All we see is the green pasture, the hills in the distance. Definitely a nice change of scenery for the city dwellers. The service provided by Sean and his team is first class. Knowledgable, helpful and just right. We had a wonderful time.

Salmon Leap Farm provided a fabulous experience for my grandson and I while we stayed June 6-8. We were welcomed warmly by Sean and his delightful mother, and the country setting was so serene we were able to relax. Sean gave us a history of the Farm which had been in his family for 3 generations. Our room was so comfortable and quiet, breakfasts were outstanding, and Sean provided very useful advice about sites to see that weren't listed in the literature, around Killarney. It was a wonderful memorable experience. We would recommend this B&B as one of the best in Ireland for our 10-day visit. Thank you Sean and family and staff.

Salmon Leap Farm is a jewel. Sean was so kind, as was his lovely mother. They welcomed us graciously and the time spent there was wonderful. Such a clean, comfortable place. Sean showed the burial site to us and gave us an outstanding history lesson. He also gave us tips for driving to, and in, Killarney. My husband and I would recommend this B and B to everyone. It was actually one of the lower priced B and Bs that we stayed at, yet roomy and exceptional. It was perfect. Thank you Sean and family.

Beautiful B and B in a convenient location. On our first day there we were welcomed with a tea service. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. We stayed at Salmon Leap Farm for three nights. Our room was very nice and cozy. Breakfast was delicious. The B and B also has an environmental conservation policy, which we really appreciated. The only negative thing was that there was only wifi access in the common areas. It wasn't a big problem but it would have been nice to be able to be in our room and plan the next day of our vacation or check emails rather than in the living room. We would stay here again.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time at Salmon Leap Farm! We had booked the B&B in advance believing we would have a rental car; however, when we arrived in Ireland we learned that the cost of the rental car was out of our price range. We had to take a taxi out to the B&B it is a little ways outside of town and were worried about having to take taxis around the next day that we were in Killarney. Turned out to be no problem because Sean was kind and not only took us into town in his car, but also showed us exactly where we could go to rent bikes and have a wonderful day in Killarney National Park. We are very grateful for his generosity! We also loved the Irish breakfast, the room we were given, and getting a tour of the ancient burial site on the grounds of the B&B. We will absolutely be back the next time we were in Ireland...next time with a rental car!

We were so happy we stayed at Salmon Leap. It was the most peaceful part of our trip through Ireland. The room was a great size, the bathroom and shower was awesome as well. The view out the back of the property is amazing. We received excellent service while here, and enjoyed our coffee/tea in the afternoons sitting by the cozy fire.

Salmon Leap was one of the best experiences I have ever had at any B&B. The proprietor was friendly and very professional; the room was ultra-clean, the breakfast great, the locality stunning and the proximity to town just lovely.
I can recommend Salmon Leap with a very clear conscience; a great place to stay, and very convenient for the journey onwards to Cork.

Salmon Leap Farm was one of the most unique B&B experiences during my week long trip to Ireland. It's hard to believe that the farm is 200 years old since the facilities have been updated - a great combination of old and new. The host Sean practices green tourism including natural soaps and toiletry products, suggestions for low environmental impact activities. He is also very knowledgeable about local history including a historical location on the property. The location is within easy driving distance to Killarney and the Ring of Kerry. Last but not least, the hospitality and breakfast were exceptional.

Our stay at Salmon Leap farm was definitely the highlight of our week in Ireland. Everything about our much too short visit was outstanding. We especially appreciated Sean's concern for our comfort, his family's/property's rich history, and for the environment. We can hardly wait to return, and would definitely stay longer the next time! Thank you, Sean!

This b&b was of a high standard. The house and surroundings have lots of character. Our room was beautiful and had everything we needed. We had a choice of breakfast which came promptly & lived up to expectations. Above all though was the standard of hospitality...the owners were so nice & helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

I loved everything about Salmon Leap Farm. The hospitality couldn't be beat. Sean was everything you would want in a host. A great location, beautiful views, excellent hospitality, a wonderful room in which guests could socialize, and an excellent breakfast. The only negative was that I had only booked one night. I should have spent more than that and will upon a return to the area.

Loved the area and were glad to have had three days to explore.
Thanks for your kind hospitality.

We had a lovely stay at Salmon Leap, unfortunately we were only stopping over for one night, once we saw how beautiful the surrounding area and accommodation facilities were, we were sorry we didn't have more days available to explore. Shaun and his family are warm, friendly and helpful. They've really worked hard to offer quality accommodation facilities showing off the best of the beautiful environment they live in. We would definitely love to come back!

Very nice, spacious rooms in a large, quiet, comfortable, and spotless house on an interesting property. Location 14 km from the center of Killarney was an easy drive to and from town, while away from the bustle. Sean O'Donoghue was a perfect host. Salmon Leap was recommended by friends who stayed there, and I heartily endorse their recommendation, and hope we can return.
