Best view in all of Ireland The most stunning scenery of the trip and one of the most stunning I've ever stayed in period. We had to go to the B&B from the local pub in two car trips, and by the time I got in the car for the second load up I had already gotten messages from my group extolling the glorious views. We sat, heavy and injured from the Kerry Way, just watching the sun set over the water. Absolutely incredible.

What a find! We had a wonderful stay with Claire and Dezy in their wonderful home overlooking the best views and stunning sunrises and sunsets. The breakfast was tasty and Claire was so accommodating to Sue who is vegan. Lovely chats about the local places to eat and we will look forward to returning. Thank you Claire from all 3 of us- Caroline, Sue and Bella x

We didn't want to leave. We didn't want to leave. We stayed two nights on our Kerry Way hiking adventure. Clare clearly loves sharing the space and hosting guests. From the night before we arrived she was helping us out with information and suggestions. Then on our rest day she provided great suggestions for how to do sightseeing on foot, including the use of insect repellent. The accommodatations were comfortable. It was nice to have a chair that I could sit and enjoy the view from. Breakfast was delicious and the view unparalleled. The lunch we got for our next hike day was the best we had on our trip. It's all the little touches that make it wonderful. Thank you for a hightlight to our tour.

Das beste BnB unserer Irland Reisen Traumhafte Aussicht, große saubere Zimmer, Claire machte ein fantastisches Frühstück, man konnte Wünsche äußern und sie hat alles erfüllt! Claire ist sehr aufmerksam und gibt gute Tipps für Ausflüge. Ihr Mann ist Musiker und es gibt viele Instrumente im Haus. Leider waren wir nur 2 Nächte hier, es ist ein Traumort ! Die Bucht und die Umgebung ist wunderschön, die Skelligs in Sichtweite. Schöne Wanderungen , Strände, Daniel O’Connor House, alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Pub blind Piper ist urig und voll mit Einheimischen, hier kommt man noch mit Iren ins Gespräch.

Definitely recommended! We stayed at the Thidwick B&B for four days in July 2024 and enjoyed every day. The view from the breakfast room is breathtaking. The location on the Ring of Kerry is great, from there you can go on beautiful hikes on the Kerry Way (Derrynane House and Beach) and take trips by car to Skellig Drive. Clare is an extremely nice and helpful host. The breakfast is varied and extremely delicious. The rooms are very clean and appropriately furnished, so that you feel at home as a guest. The B&B is definitely recommended! Greetings from Andrea and Carsten

Wonderful trip to Thidwick Had the most wonderful time during my second and my husband's first trip to Ireland. It's the first time we did a B&B for such a trip and found it more relaxing than the usual full schedules offered with the large travel companies. We arrived there at night so had no idea what a picturesque place it was until the next morning. I was delighted to see the sheep through my window when I opened my eyes. The Ring of Kerry is filled with such natural beauty and the people are warm and lovely, as were our hosts. We signed up for a tour excursion with Clare who knows the area like the back of her hand and is an excellent driver. Also, Clare cooked us a delicious breakfast each morning and allowed for us to be flexible as to our eating time, as well as the time we embarked on our tours each day. You can't go wrong in booking at Thidwick!

Das schönste B&B am Kerry Way Das Ende unserer Wanderung am Kerry Way war auch der Höhepunkt: das Thidwick B&B bei Caherdaniel. Das wunderschöne Haus von Claire und Desmond liegt hoch über dem Strand von Derryname und bietet einen fantastischen Blick auf den Atlantik. Unser Zimmer war riesig, supersauber und hat das gemütlichste Bett auf unserer gesamten Reise. Claire ist die perfekte Gastgeberin und zaubert ein großartiges Frühstück. Desmond hat uns auf eine Rundtour bis zu den Kerry Cliffs und Valentina Island mitgenommen. Noch besser als die Landschaft sind seine Geschichten. Dez ist ein begnadeter Erzähler, kritischer Geist und ein weißer Mann. PS: vom Thidwick B&B bis zum Strand oder zum hervorragenden Blind Piper Pub sind zu Fuß nur 40 min. PPS: min 2 Tage bleiben. Dieses schöne und gastfreundliche B&B ist es wert!

A Stay with Amazing Views and Wonderful Hosts We were on a Hiking holiday and stayed here for three nights. It was the best B&B we‘ve stayed at on this vacation. From the beautiful room to the amazing view, super nice and attentive hosts and great breakfast, everything was perfect. We will definitely come back and can fully recommend staying here.

Vue fabuleuse et accueil chaleureux L'accueil était merveilleux, très chaleureux et l'hôte a pu nous trouver une solution alors que l'hébergement était en partie fermé. Le petit déjeuner était très savoureux avec une omelette fraîche. Mais le plus frappant est la vue magnifique sur la baie depuis la chambre ou la salle de petit déjeuner. Merci pour l'accueil et j'espère revenir un jour.

Can’t Wait to Come Back We had a wonderful stay at Thidwick. From the warm welcome and dinner suggestions to the impromptu evening concert, Clare and Dezy were exceptional hosts. We greatly appreciated all the suggestions for activities in the surrounding area. The breakfast omelette was one of the best we ever had. An outstanding view from the B&B and short drive (or slightly longer walk) to Derrynane beach. Highly recommend. - Jason and Sarah

Ein Juwel auf unserer Rundreise durch Irland. Grandiose Aussicht vom Frühstücks- und Aufenthaltsraum und den Zimmern 1 (geräumig), 3 und 6. Schöne gemütliche helle Zimmer, sehr sauber, gute Matratzen. Leckeres gutes Frühstück. Schön ruhig. Clare ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin,  der das Wohl ihrer Gäste sehr am Herzen liegt. Das Wetter mit viel Nebel trübte unseren Aufenthalt zeitweise etwas, das gemütliche Zimmer und das tolle Lokal "Blind Piper" in der Nähe entschädigten. Eigener PKW notwendig - außer man wandert den Fernwanderweg "Kerry way": ausgeschilderter kurzerAbzweig zum Haus. Traumhafte Rundwanderung mit Start direkt am Haus möglich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

"Thidwick B&B near Caherdaniel was a stand out due to its amazing location and super host Clare. Clare contacted us earlier in our walk to invite us to dinner as they were having a catch up that night up with friends and family, two of which were walkers we had met in the early days of walking. Lovely home cooked meal, great company (about 10 people for dinner) and Clare’s partner Desi entertained all later on the piano with his often hilarious original songs. One of those special travel experiences!"

“Amazing spot! Great point to start with exploring Kerry. Everything was perfect and chats with Clare added lovely, personal touch into it. Highly recommended.”

Daniel, August 2020

Clare is an amazing hostess so friendly, informative and accommodating. Definitely will be returning. Outstanding ❤️

Geraldine, August 2023

OUTSTANDING Air BnB!! The owners are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. We felt directly like home and were amazed by the great view you have on the ocean (by 270 degrees around). The breakfast is the best start you can have in the morning. Clare is a great cook and makes you awesome food of a well chosen list. The area it is placed in is perfect for fabolous hikes, beach-time or even just relaxing in the garden or the living-room. We will definitely recommend everybody to go there and enjoy the stay (It was our Favorite Air BnB of Ireland and made our stay there the best Ireland-experience)! 6 out of 5 stars!!

“Clare's house is amazing. I would highly recommend staying here. The view from our room was out of this world with picture perfect scenery and it's in a great location with a stunning beach close by (just a few minutes drive). Clare made everything very easy for us with check in and breakfast and we will definitely go back again.”

“Clare is a wonderful host. Her place is stunning, with the best views in the area and close to Derrynane and Caherdaniel. I had the most comfortable stay, the place is spotless and covid compliant. I would highly recommend this place to stay in a beautiful part of Kerry.”

C'est endroit est époustouflant, une vue à couper le souffle, la tranquillité, le calme, sont au rendez vous, Clare est une hôte super dynamique, accueillante, toujours le sourire, la chambre d'hôte correspondait exactement à la description, idéalement située sur la wild atlantic way, nous avons passé 5 jours merveilleux pour notre irish road trip. je recommande vivement

Catherine, August 2023

Everything was perfect in this accommodation, from the first contact to our departure. We were delighted by the place and the hosts. The room is immaculate, and the bed is of high quality. The host is very attentive and will prepare a customized breakfast for you. Bien sûr, voici la traduction en anglais : "The bedroom and the living room offer an incredible view of the Kerry coastline; no matter the weather, the scenery is breathtaking. We had an amazing stay and will gladly return! Thank you to Clare and her Dezy for the warm welcome in this beautiful part of nature.

Pascal, October 2024

Clare was an extraordinary host! And the house is better than your wildest expectations. The views from the lounge are spectacular and literally breathtaking. As much as I wanted to explore the area I also wanted to sit on the couch with a hot drink and just… watch the views and light and storms and clouds. The bedrooms were so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. I could have stayed here for many days and been quite happy. We explored the derrynane beach and abbey ruins just south of the house and it was stunning. Clare’s recommendations for dinner at The Lobster and The Blind Piper were perfect (we went to both!). You won’t want to leave here, trust me.

Breakfast options and quality are top notch, and lovely sea views from the tables are provided to make the morning meal all the more special! The house is in a gorgeous setting and is the ideal base to explore the peninsula. Would highly recommend a stay here for your Irish staycation.”

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit herrlichem Blick sowohl aus den Zimmern als auch aus dem Panorama-Aufenthaltsraum. Clare ist eine großartige, hilfsbereite und aufmerksame Gastgeberin und das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und köstlich. Gleich vor dem Haus beginnt eine Wanderung an die Strände mit tollen Ausblicken. Gern wieder!

Dieses Haus ist einzigartig. Nicht nur die phantastische Lage, die sehr gemütlichen und sauberen Zimmer, sondern auch die Gastfreundschaft von Clare. Wir bekamen ein fürstliches Frühstück, zahlreiche super Tipps und im Bett konnten wir sehr bequem schlafen. Das Auto kann ganz einfach vor dem Haus geparkt werden. Dieses Airbnb ist ein echtes Juwel. Danke Clare.

Expect nothing short of one of your top overnight experiences. This is a five star with a great host, comfortable and squeaky clean accommodations, the best views in the entire Ring of Kerry and an adventure right out the front door. Host is Lovely. Do Not Miss!

What a beautiful home. Lovely panoramic windows at the front overlooking an amazing view (which was a reason for our choice). Clare has thought of everything and was always around to answer any queries we had. It was so comfortable. She explained everything and we felt at home right away. Lovely cooked breakfast. Great recommendations for eating out and walking and anything that goes on in the area. A really lovely stay.

“Had a brilliant stay in Thidwick bnb! 5 mins from the gorgeous Derrynane beach and a good location to base yourself to go along the Ring of Kerry. The place was very clean, lovely breakfast, great shower after a day at the beach, has everything you’d need! It is pet friendly too which was ideal for us. I would recommend this place.”
