Bianconi

Ring of Kerry


This Victorian-style pub has a classy ambience and an equally refined menu. Its spectacular salads, such as Cashel Blue cheese, apple, toasted almonds and pancetta, are a meal in themselves. Upstairs, stylishly refurbished guest rooms (singles/doubles from €95/125) have olive and truffle tones and luxurious bathrooms (try for a roll-top tub).
