Lagom in Kenmare, Kerry
We have just returned from a two night stay in Lagom in Kenmare, County Kerry and I highly recommend it if you are looking for place to stay in Kenmare. We were in Kenmare for the finissage of PIGSY's "Catharsis of Collapse" in the Kenmare Butter Market. We had been down three other times over the past few weeks for the show and had made a promise for our last visit we would treat ourselves to a stay in the newly opened Lagom. Owners Liz and chef Brendan have really created somewhere special and it was indeed a treat to stay here.
Lagom is a Swedish word that can be translated to "not too much, not too little, just right". With little special touches they have certainly made the place more than "just right".
On our arrival, we were met by bottled water in our room along with a welcome treat of a little home made lemon bun. I adore lemon sponge and this was the most lovely baked goods treat.
The room we were staying in had a great big super king bed with stylish and tranquil decor. But topping all of this was the shower which was a really really powerful warm and roomy shower - quite possibly the best shower I've ever had!
And then the breakfast! Well that can only be described as quite delicious with the best ingredients. PIGSY had the full Irish both days and I had Brisket Potato Hash for my first breakfast. Then the next day I had an omelette (a 3 egg omelette with a choice of fillings) - both really delicious.
Lagom is centrally located in Kenmare and is an excellent addition to the restaurant and accommodation scene in Kenmare. And as far as I am concerned it is definitely "just right" and quite possibly perfect in my eyes!
