Very good spot for an overnight stay. Grandiose views and very friendly owners. Emptying the toilet and filling with fresh water is no problem.
You can also spend the night in the parking area below, but that would be rather foolish. The photos posted here also show the pitch further up, which is listed elsewhere. Down below it is ugly and costs the same. For us, it would only be an emergency solution. The view on foot is naturally beautiful too.
We used the place only for parking while visiting the cliffs; we did not stay overnight, choosing a free place nearby instead. Visiting the cliffs is highly recommended—they are beautiful! There are plenty of spacious places in the parking area, and daytime parking is free.
Great place to stop overnight, we had a toddler and there was loads of space for her to run around. The views from the mountain are unreal! All of the staff were super helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again! Clean toilets and taps to fill up the motorhome if needed.
If you are travelling through the Ring of Kerry and want a magnificent place to sleep, you must go there! €20 per night with a view of the cliffs, plus €5 per person for access to the Cliffs. There are clean toilets accessible all night in the lower parking area. You can park on several levels once your vehicle is inside. It is truly excellent! Be careful, as it can be quite windy, so make sure your vehicle can handle it. But really, it is great!
Great view of the cliffs, you can either park at the B&B or drive all the way up the cliffs. Amazing experience, had some wind but not heavy. It can get very unpleasant in heavy wind and rain though. We were lucky with sunshine. Night was total darkness and quiet, 12/10!
A really great spot for the night! You can choose whether to sleep down on the meadow or up by the cliffs. We stayed up top and were the only ones there. The sunset was beautiful! We paid €20 for the overnight stay and €5 per person to access the cliffs. Quite expensive, but the view is absolutely worth it! Arrive before 18:30, otherwise everything is closed.
We were annoyed to pay the 5€ each to walk up to see the cliffs at first, but once we walked up there it was totally worth it. Absolutely amazing views. Overnight parking in a mobile home up on the cliff is only available during “camping season,” which is March to September. Still worth it to stop and see, our favorite part of the trip so far!
FYI - we were told that no overnight parking is permitted in October. It runs until September end. We were hoping to park at the cliffs tonight.
Came to view the cliffs for 5 euros, on the way out asked about their hose taps, they were more than happy for us to fill up! Water tap is by the white building
Great views from the top. 5€ to walk up. I asked about staying the night and was told €20 . I wasn't sure so I left it until I had walked around. Decided to stay and went back to pay an hour later but was told by a different person it was €30! It would seem the price is made up depending on who is at the pay desk.
We decided not to stay overnight; they asked us for €10 each, and there are five of us, even though we had already paid €25 to see the cliffs. The place is very beautiful; if there had been two of us, I would have stayed. It is better to arrive directly at 8 p.m., so you can enter and pay €10 per person including the cliff visit. The place is worth it, but the price is absurd!
20 euros to stay the night, you may drive up whenever you ask (we drove up at 5pm, it closes at 9 pm) and leave in the morning whenever you like. Were completely alone on the top of the cliffs, awesome experience! A lot of wind and rain, so decided to close the rooftop tent at 2 am at night and sleep in the van instead, just to be sure we didn't destroy the tent. 10/10 would recommend!
Quite full, and there is no view of the water from the parking area.
Great place, with a wonderful view over the sea and cliffs. The price is high, but you can fill up with water. No other services.
5eur per person to see the cliffs, 20eur to camp. Can park up right at the top of the cliffs, but has a pretty steep ascent might be too big for bigger motorhomes. Toilets are very clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. In the evening had the whole place to ourselves, absolutely amazing.
