The Scarriff Inn is a family run guesthouse under the new ownership of David and Katie Farrell and their family. The Scarriff Inn takes it’s name from Scarriff Island one of the many islands which it is overlooks. It is famous for overlooking 'the best view in Ireland' with views of Kenmare Bay and Bantry Bay and of Derrynane and it’s beautiful beaches and park. Patrons are treated to this view from every seat in the bar and restaurant. Guests staying at The Scarriff Inn can wake up to this magnificent view as all our accommodation boasts a sea view.

The Scarriff InnThe Bed and Breakfast in Caherdaniel is located exactly half way round The Ring of Kerry, so it is an ideal base from which to explore The Iveragh Penninsula, The Dingle Penninsula, Killarney Lakes and of course the World Heritage site of Skellig’s Rock. The boat to Skellig Rockleaves from the pier under The Scarriff every morning, weather permitting, so you can have a fabulous Irish breakfast before steeing off for the day to explore one of the world’s most famous sites. We will prepare a nice packed lunch for your voyage and organise all booking arrangements for your trip if needed.
