"Iskeroon is a marvelous house, a true design icon. Built by
the Earl of Dunraven in the 1930s, its unique, mesmerizing design
is exceeded only by its astonishing location."
Bridgestone Guide 100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland 2009
"There's no finer setting in Ireland than that of Iskeroon, a beach-house chic B&B near Caherdaniel, set amid four acres of rambling subtropical gardens on the Ring of Kerry's tranquil Derrynane Harbour. Indoors, the palette is bold and warm; outside, the rugged coast gives on to wide, deserted crescents of sand."
Condé Naste Traveler

"There's beauty in simplicity and Iskeroon does it better than most in this stunning part of Ireland."

View of Derrynane Harbour from the dining room
"Spellbound by the view, you can breakfast while watching the locals pass by: seals, seagulls, the odd boat. And there’s more magic outside: Derrynane Bay, Abbey Island, Hog's Head. Walk through the semi-tropical gardens (rare Kerry lilies) to the private pier, swim in clear water, or take the boat to the enchanting Skellig Rocks. Come for a couple of days and forget your car."
Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay Ireland, 6th edition
 
Suite A: Bedroom; Bathroom; View from the balcony
(entrance to Derrynane Harbour and Deenish & Scarriff islands)
"David and Geraldine Hare's wonderfully light B&B has an arrestingly beautiful setting overlooking Derrynane Harbour. It's got the best of both worlds: tranquil and yet just a short walk to the beach or a lovely pub, or the pier for cruises to the Skelligs. Breakfasts are excellent here, too. With only three rooms, this place gets sold out long in advance, so book early."
The Washington Post
 
Suite B: Bedroom; Bathroom; View from the balcony (Derrynane Harbour and the Beara Peninsula on the horizon)
"There's a minimum two-night stay. This isn't a quick stop on the way to somewhere - it's an end destination. If you do succeed in getting a booking, you'll want to stay longer. Geraldine Burkitt and David Hare's wonderfully situated and beautifully renovated home is lauded by everyone from Condé Nast to the Washington Post. And they only charge €75 pps. There are never more than six guests at a time, so get booking!"
