In the past we both lived in Killarney and found that the place and people were brilliant. So now every chance we have we head to Killarney for holidays.
On this occasion we went to Rathmore House B&B, which has a fantastic location and the rooms are spacious, though a little bit dusty, but for 35 euros per person per night we though it was a good deal. Our first impression of the couple running the house, Pat and Mary, was very good as they were warm and friendly, but to our surprise, the last day, when we were leaving and were in a rush, something suspicious happened: They didn’t accept any card payment as the machine to process the payment was broken and had been for a week or so (I work in retail and know that faulty machines are always replaced the next day!) He suggested us to go to town to get money from the cash point. This situation caused us a big inconvenience mainly, because Pat waited until the last minute to inform us about the machine.
After expressing our distress we were shocked to hear a different reason from him, and this was that he had to pay a high commission to the Bank for accepting cards. We didn’t find this very fair as when we originally booked the room he told us that they accepted card payment. Naturally we would have to pay extra charges to remove more cash from the bank cash point. This situation was very distressing for us as we suspected that he had lied about the machine being broken, so we refused to pay the full amount by cash (10euro discount), and from there more lies started to come up: if we booked a single room instead of double, etc…but they hadn’t realised that we had all the emails with the booking details printed, and anyway if they allowed us to stay in a single room how could we be charged for a double one??? The situation was very uncomfortable.
Anyway, we will be returning to Ireland because we believe not everybody is like this couple, but would like to say that it is a pity that these two people get away misleading and deceiving tourists, as that is one of the main income sources of the country and should be well look after.
We have to say despite of this black spot we enjoyed Killarney and its people as usual.
