Hotel Hotel con vista montagne a Contea di Kerry

We stayed in this hotel in August 2024. Two of the best things about it: the view---amazing! Mountains and hills, and the surrounding landscape is beautiful. The other thing is the attached restaurant---we had dinner one night and it was great. The included breakfast was also amazing---made to order! Now the not so great....not bad, but we felt a little cheated. The room advertised a KING bed. We found out this is a UK-King, not a normal US-King bed. It was the same size as a US-Queen bed. Not a big deal, but they should mention that in the listing. The next thing: There is no AC in any of the rooms. Again, no mention of this in their listing. Not that much of a problem, because it was cool (mid 60's) during our stay, but in order to get the room cooled down, we had to leave the balcony door open, and there was no screen at all. Luckily, we had no birds, or bugs or who knows what in our room when we returned from our outings for the day. Also, on one of the days, it was raining, so the door couldn't stay open---it rained in the room if you did. Not ideal. We are a couple who likes to sleep in a very cold room---we always turn our hotel rooms down to 68 degrees or less when we sleep. Not sure we ever got below 70 in this room. Next....there is no mini-fridge in the room, and no icemaker in the hotel. We had to ask the front desk for any ice bucket, and they had it delivered from the restaurant to our room, but again, not ideal. Lastly, the room is very, very small---only 2 feet between the bed and the wall, so if you plan on spending any time in the room other than sleeping, it's very crowded. PS---this is a very old hotel---needs some updating. The carpet in our room looked new, so that was nice, but the walk to our room has some very old carpet, walls that need painted, and furniture that looks like it's from the 70's or 80's---and VERY well used. For a short stay (a day or two) it's fine, but any longer---stay at a more modern, updated hotel.

Lovely home of hosts Andy and Caroline. Very clean and well kept, if not a bit on the minimalist side. We liked it. Extremely quiet and beautiful countryside, in sight of the Kerry Cliffs, and a short walk or drive to the Portage waterfront and pubs. Our room was the last available and is a first floor room with a separate, private bathroom. You need to go out in the hall to use the bathroom. Not ideal, but we were OK with it. It seems the other rooms have the bathroom within. Reasonable price for a nice room, comfy bed and friendly hosts. Por**agee is worth a visit! The only negative was all the interior fire doors with very heavy self-closers, perhaps required by fire code, but nevertheless, unpleasant enough to comment about.

Stayed on 3 nights b&b package with 2 evening meals. Hotel contacted us in advance to book times in restaurant for breakfasts and dinner. We booked breakfast for 10am each morning and dinners at 7.30pm. While breakfast times were adhered to by hotel, fried food, except eggs, was dried up and cold. We did not get to eat in restaurant for dinners. Could only get table in bar both nights. Menu was the exact same each night. My wife is a vegetarian with allergies to onions an red peppers. Very poor vegetarian options. We asked even if chef could do vegetarian stir fry with root vegetables that would suit and were available as they were on meat menus, it was very disappointing that such a simple request couldn't be facilitated. The hotel is very nice but the food standard and menus are very poor given that we paid close on €700 for the 3 night stay as well as spending close on an additional €150 for beverages and sea **** bath. Very disappointed overall

Eccellente accoglienza, nonostante l'ora tarda d'arrivo. Stanze spaziose e pulitissime. La nostra, nel sottotetto, molto intima, ma forse non molto adatta a persone alte e comunque dotata di tutti i comfort, anche di lavatrice. Adatta a soggiorni lunghi e brevi. Gentilissimo il gestore e colazione ricca, continentale e irish, ovviamente consigliatissima la irish. Prezzo un pò altino, ma vista la stagione c'è da aspettarselo. Ecco, se fai un prezzo che e anche alto, visto che è un B&B, lo farei colazione compresa, che sia continentale o irish. Esperienza consigliatissima, se passate da Ballybunion fermatevi assolutamente.
