John & Nora were so helpful. Spotless clean room looking out onto beautiful gardens. Loved the fresh continental breakfast with plenty of choice. We’ll be back!

The location is unbeatable close to the main attractions in the Ring of Kerry. The place is very quiet and the room is comfortable, clean, and spacious. The host John and his wife were very nice and welcoming. Very much recommended.

Did not the idea of breakfast in a bag, especially as the B&B indicated it was a sustainable site.
Location was great, quiet but within walking distance to the local pub.

An absolutely stunning place, the Ferris Wheel B and B is beautiful with a lovely dinning room and garden.
A peaceful location owned by John and Nora, certainly a hidden gem. John and Nora are incredibly friendly and happy to help, give directions and suggestions for the walk through the Gap.
Would highly recommend a stay here! You can walk the Gap of Dunloe or hire a horse and cart, have dinner at Kate Kearney's cottage a short walk away and enjoy the live traditional Irish music, 7 nights a week.
Would certainly recommend spending a few nights here. We had 2 nights but would have enjoyed more if we knew how amazing it was going to be.

The breakfast was a grab and go, along with self-serve cereals. It was very good and filling. Actually enjoyed this as it was filling, yet fast! There was table service for drinks and extras you may ask for!
I cannot think of anything that I did not like. The stay was very pleasant and peaceful in a great location!

The staff were extremely helpful and the local area was lovely.

This place is ideal if you are looking to escape from all the city niose. It is perfect location to stay and explore gap of Dunloe if you cycle or trek. We found this route the most scenic and adventures drive out of all in co. Kerry.
However, if you are driving and looking to start your drive from this point there is something to keep in mind - the horse carriages that operate there during the day are very unfriendly thowards drivers. They kept turning cars back thowards the town and insisting that you start your route from there. Which made no sense cuz the road is narrow regardless whichever way you start.
One more things to consider, if you are planing to go back to the town in the evening after a long day of drive, I'd suggest getting a taxi.
Regardless those few glitches, it was very comfortable and relaxing stay.

This accommodation is located near a very quiet road with views of the mountainside, has well-maintained gardens surrounding the building and is just a short stroll away from the Entry to the Gap of Dunloe with its wonderful scenery!
The rooms are very tidy and comfortable and the host couple is friendly and does go the extra mile!

The manager was so nice gave us loads of advice for the Gap. We let her know that we will be leaving early on our checkout date and she had our breakfast waiting. Super nice.
We didn't have any body wash

The location is amazing. The Ferris Wheel is a beautiful place in an amazing area. Very close to the Ring of Kerry, but apart from that great things to explore close by like the highest mountain of Ireland, Gap of Dunloe, Killarney.. a few very nice places to eat a short walk away. Loved Heathers.
We were provided with nice lunch packages by the very nice hosts.
I would love to visit again!

Breakfast was very tasty. Super location.
4.5
It was explained that with covid no hot breakfast would be served and that a takeaway breakfast would be provided. This breakfast was woefully poor. One scone, a pot of yoghurt and an orange is incredibly miserable and not what I'd call a breakfast.
The bathroom was a wet room and when we had a shower for anymore than 30 seconds the water ran out of the bathroom and all over the bedroom floor creating a complete mess. when reported on night one nothing was done to remedy the problem.

Location is amazing in the Gap of Dunloe. Take your private vehicle through the Gap of Dunloe up to Molls Gap preferably before 9am or after 6pm.
Very polite and wonderful owner with excellent lodging. A+
