We loved our stay in Kenmare. The location was wonderful. The property was clean and the attention to detail was fabulous. ❤️❤️ thank you for helping to make our vacation memorable.
We had a wonderful time in this flat in the heart of Kenmare. Above The White Room shop, it is secluded, private and quiet, yet within walking distance of all the great pubs, restaurants and shops Kenmare has to offer. Beautifully decorated and fully equipped, this is a real gem. Would love to stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay in this excellent apartment, which was clean, tidy and beautifully decorated. Situated in the centre of Kenmare with easy access to the attractions of the town. Kenmare itself is a very attractive town, with many artisanal shops and many quality restaurants. A bonus was the secure parking provided by the owners. The countryside around is breathtaking with lovely seascapes and mountain scenery. We would highly recommend this property.
We spent a week exploring Kenmare and Shrubbery Mews was the perfect headquarters: luxurious, located right above a chic high street shop and steps away from restaurants, markets, historic walks, plus easy parking. The team are welcoming and always available for questions. The apartment is comfortable, quiet and very easy to use. Kitchen is fully-equipped and large. The 2.5 bathrooms have plenty of hot water and great showers, all modern fixtures. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and our deep dive into the cultural richness of this beautiful corner of Ireland. Thank you, Sarah and friends. It was a magical week.
Imagine a postcard picture of a lovely Irish town. Imagine a pretty linen and other homeware store in the centre of town. Imagine that the store owner has furnished a charming, comfortable and spacious two story apartment above that store. That is Shrubbery Mews. It is clean, well appointed and has a large, eat-in country kitchen which is fully appointed with all you need to eat at home. We had arranged to meet friends in Kenmare and had them over for two nights for dinner and wine. If you prefer to eat out, there are Pubs, bakeries and nice restaurants literally at your door step. The bedrooms were not only country chic, but very comfortable. I would be proud to recommend Shrubbery Mews to family or good friends.
Shrubbery Mews 5 is an outstanding apartment that is impeccably maintained. The property, located above the White Room in Kenmare, is in the heart of downtown and walkable to everything one might need when visiting. The apartment is new, modern, and well-appointed. Sarah has gone above and beyond in her efforts to create a warm, inviting place for guests to relax and unwind. The little details, including locally made chocolates, toiletries, and wine were waiting for us at check-in. What a delight! The queen beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, the towels and linens were quality, and the furniture was stylish and comfy (including the patio furniture). We appreciated the use of the washer and dryer on the premises; it is so nice to wash clothes during travel. Our family also took advantage of the well stocked kitchen to eat in for two nights of our stay. In addition, guests may also receive a discount in Sarah's shop, which we took advantage of when purchasing the diffuser scents Sarah used within the apartment! Having a designated parking spot in the rear of the shop is a relief, as street parking can be tricky with so many tourists and visitors to Kenmare. There is so much to love about Kenmare and we felt lucky to have found Shrubbery Mews 5 for our visit. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
One if not the best VRBO property that we have ever stayed in, overseas or in the US.Attention to detail and communication with the owner was beyond expectations.
We stayed in this darling apartment for 3 nights as we toured the island. The location is perfect and Kenmare is a great little town. We enjoyed the restaurants and coffee shops in the area. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 4 and we would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed this perfectly curated townhouse in the very center of Kenmare. Stayed four nights with another couple. Fantastic kitchen, nice living area, comfortable bedrooms, small but well laid-out bathrooms. Half bath downstairs was a nice bonus. Everything the town has to offer is right outside your door. Great coffee, breakfast and pastries at both Maison Gourmet and Bean & Batch. Big thumbs up!
We had a wonderful time in Kenmare and the Shrubbery Mews apartment could not have been lovelier. It is in the center of town, close to everything, and the apartment is beautifully finished and appointed. Sarah and Tracey were the perfect hosts. I highly recommend.
Tracy was the best. She gave us all the local inside info we needed to have an awesome vacation.

Fantastic
The apartment was fantastic!!! It was like new and very, very comfortable. Three of us stayed here for three days and all of us would come back and stay again.
We had a lovely, relaxing break in this gorgeous apartment. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, we felt very much at home from the start of our visit. Sarah and her team were so welcoming and Kenmare was a great town to base ourselves in. We would highly recommend and look forward to a return visit! Many thanks.
The apartment is lovely and very comfortable. Plenty of space, clean and well laid out. Sarah and team left a nice bottle of wine and a welcome gift - a nice touch.
There are stairs so you'll need to be able to climb them to get into apartment, but they are wide and easy to climb.
Close to everything in town and very walkable. Overall, I'd highly recommend!
Beautiful furnished apartment with everything you would need, with private car parking at the rear.
Kenmare is a beautiful village with lots of pubs and restaurants and you are just a walk away.
To explore further you couldn't be in a better position.
Finally, we received a warm welcome from Tracey and we knew if we had any problems she was close by.
Hopefully one day we will return.
Paul and Joyce.
This rental was beyond amazing. Sarah, the owner is so responsive and when meeting her in person just a lovely person with a wealth of suggestions from food to places to see. We followed all of them and were not disappointed. The apartment is gorgeously decorated and has everything amenity needed for a very comfortable stay. Apartment is large and has a nice terrace. It is right in town so after traveling all day you can park your car and walk to many pubs and restaurants. Despite being in the heart of the town apartment is very quiet. We loved Kenmare, locals are so friendly, food is amazing and it is centrally located to explore Southern Ireland.
Overall, very good. Although the location is on the high street, it was quiet. Parking is very good, secure and easy to access. Host very friendly and the bottle of wine was a nice touch. Beds are not super king, although there is room in the bedrooms, but were comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it seemed to be well equipped.
Suggestions for future guests
Put dressing tables in the bedroom. There was no socket near a mirror which made drying your hair difficult. Nowhere to sit and dry your hair or put on makeup.
A magnifying mirror is a good idea.
I am so happy that I decided on the Shrubbery Mews apartment for my four-week stay in Kenmare in Sep-Oct 2022. It is well-deserving of its 5-star reviews, checking all of my boxes and more. The location was perfect: a spacious 2 bedroom unit with 2 1/2 bathrooms, situated above a high end linen/home decor shop on Henry Street, with access included to gated, private parking immediately behind the building, located in the centre of the beautiful, safe, tidy, walkable, laid-back, charming heritage town of Kenmare. The apartment is no more than a 2 to 5 minute walk to a number of excellent restaurants/pubs/cafes, music, shops, and services. While one side of this apartment faces Henry Street (one of the town's three main streets), we did not experience any issue with street noise at night or otherwise.
The area immediately surrounding (and within short walking distance of) the main part of Kenmare town offers lush, scenic greenery, parks (including lovely Reenagross Park), trails (including some of the Kerry Way), and the beautiful Kenmare Bay (with a nice pier area with public benches). Renting here, I had all the conveniences of residing in town while at the same time having an ideal launching pad for day trips to the Rings of Beara, Kerry, and Dingle (this part of the Wild Atlantic Way is without a doubt one of the most strikingly beautiful regions of Ireland), along with easy access to other areas like Killarney and County Cork.
The apartment itself more than exceeded my high expectations (the website photos are very accurate). The 2 bedrooms are upstairs; one is en-suite and the other has a very nearby bathroom, all with lovely decor and thoughtful touches. There is also a very nice half bathroom on the main floor (toilet and sink), ideal for when I had visitors. The apartment is immaculately clean and well-maintained throughout. The furniture and decor are a mix of modern & traditional -- warm, tasteful, and comfortable. All the appliances in the large kitchen worked well, as did everything in the rest of the apartment including the wifi, heat, water pressure, etc. The outdoor roof patio off the living room entrance was an added bonus.
Sarah and her team including Tracey are the consummate hosts, highly responsive and very professional, friendly, and accommodating. I plan to rebook this apartment for when I return to the area in 2023.
