Featuring a Thai restaurant and tearooms, the Kells Bay House is set on 40 acres of unique gardens with subtropical plants. Overlooking Dingle Bay, the Palm Gardens offer direct access to a Blue Flag beach.

Best hotel I've ever stayed in. It's more like a retreat than a hotel. Four or five quiet comfortable bedrooms in a stunning, peaceful location, with its own private path down to the bay, and prize winning gardens where the sound of running water fills your eardrums. I felt totally renewed after one night there and I cannot wait to go back.

Overlooking Dingle Bay, midway between Glenbeigh and Cahirciveen, Caitin's is a traditional old-style pub with guest accommodation.

Access to the Kerry Way walking route runs alongside Caitin's.

Caitin's has been run by the Golden family for over 100 years. It provides very high-quality accommodation, and friendly, helpful staff.

The view was great and the owner was really nice. We had continental breakfast in the room. The apartment was clean with the kitchen fully equipped.

    This is the most uniquely beautiful place in the country. The location is so beautiful and peaceful. The gardens are unique. The Sala Thai restaurant food is amazing. This is a location for mature couples who want peace and quiet.

    Fabulous and unique . Old converted Victorian hunting lodge . Very clean and spacious and delightfully old fashioned, ( tho did have usb plugs in the bedroom )staff lovely and friendly. Superb award winning gardens around the guest house and a luxury to have the run of them when closed to the public . Lovely breakfast available and nice Thai cuisine in the restaurant in the evening. A very special place to visit and stay at.

    Enjoyable stay, excellent host, Jack, and staff easy going in nature. Friendly "natives". Quiet at that time of year which suited us perfectly. Guinness great. Great view of the Dingle Peninsula. Places of interest nearby including O'Neil's seafood restaurant.

    Victoria is a great host. She has so many tips to give on how to get the most out of your stay, plus she bakes delicious cakes! When you arrive, you should take out a pen and paper to note down her advice and recommendations - she'll give you so many. Plus she's a master gardener.Victoria's house was a great base for us to explore the beauty of Kerry. Having Kells Bay beach/harbour just down the road is excellent for a swim. The microclimate is a wonder for anyone interested in flowers and plants.
