Hotels in der Nähe von Ballinskelligs Bay, Kerry

Als erstes möchte ich betonen, wie unglaublich freundlich die Gastgeber hier sind - sie haben uns sehr an unsere lieben Großeltern erinnert. Es war schön mit ihnen zu plaudern und ihre Tipps waren Gold wert - sonst hätten wir wohl nie die Schönheit von Valentia Island gesehen. Unser Zimmer war sehr groß und geräumig. Auch das Badezimmer war perfekt für uns. Unser Bett hatte sogar eine Heizdecke, was uns sehr gelegen kam. Im Zimmer gab es einen Teekocher, was auch sehr praktisch war. Das Frühstück nimmt man im wunderschönen Wintergarten ein. Dabei gehen die Gastgeber gerne auf Wünsche ein. Der French Toast mit frischen Früchten war sooo gut. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten!

My friend and I stayed there for 3 days as our beginning point to visit Kerry and Dingle area. Although old, it has everything you need, rooms are not very spacious, but the bathroom is modern and with all the facilities. Situated by the harbour, you are close to the nice walking by the sea. We’ve also had dinner there, and it was very good! The breakfast is including, you get large irish one, all kind of cereals. The only minus was for the not so nice salami and cheese you can get if you don’t fancy irish breakfast. Would come again!

PROS: Exceptionally clean. Everything seemed relatively new. Beautifully quiet. Nice warm room. Bedding, décor, and furnishings were all quite nice and well selected. CONS: No lounge or living room type common area for guests to sit comfortably with only one basic office chair provided in the room. Quite simply, it was too sp****ly furnished and appointed. Wi-fi was very sketchy (despite numerous reboots) and even stopped working completely for quite some time. The owner since claimed to have “super fast Wi-Fi” and that we should have addressed Wi-fi issues on-site, but we had no idea how to find the proprietor once he handed us the room keys and then basically disappeared for the duration of our stay (behind one of the closed doors on the property?). In short, we could not address the Wi-fi issues as he suggested. There were no TV’s in the entire property, which the owner stated was done on purpose to provide a “quiet and peaceful experience”. That seems nice enough, but without reliable working Wi-fi, the property became an isolated entrapment while we stared at the walls for several hours. A tomb is a “quiet and peaceful experience”, but that doesn’t necessarily make it pleasant. By normal Irish standards for hotels, 4:30 pm check-in and 10:30 am check-out times were quite late and early respectively, which is not common for Ireland as the owner subsequently claimed. We stayed in more than 30 hotels in Ireland and not one of them provided so little overall time. The typical turnaround from check-in to check-out (in all of 2100 miles we traveled around Ireland) was about an hour longer, one way or another. Responding to this, the owner quite rudely wrote (his quote) that we “would need to familiarise yourself with the basics before travelling somewhere”. To that, I can only say we are traveling 110 days this year in 16 different countries and have traveled to about 40 countries before. We plan our journeys exhaustively. I suggest rather than provide insulting remarks about our travel abilities, which are highly tuned and time-tested, perhaps this property’s management should listen to useful customer input about things which were not customary and inferior to competitors. Breakfast was an additional charge which rather goes against the ENTIRE notion of calling oneself a B&B. In retrospect, on closer examination, I concede the advertised rates for the property apparently included a non-breakfast option, but it’s important to note that is not always completely obvious when viewing typical hotel booking sites. Addressing this, the owner wrote that “it looks like you had no idea what you were booking and were not looking at the location or anything at that time”. Overlooking the blatant rudeness of that comment, our situation was actually quite the contrary, and we were keenly familiar with the location, having already spent a total of 25 days traversing the entire west coast of Ireland throughout both rural and urban areas before

wir waren vier Tage im Sneem Hotel. Es war so schön, ruhige erholsame Tage. Tolles, großes Zimmer mit Balkon und wunderbarem Ausblick. Sehr guter Service, gutes Frühstück, Jedes Abendessen obhat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Gemütliche Atmosphäre am Kamin. Ob Rezeption, Bar, Restaurant, Frühstück, wir sind nett und aufmersam versorgt worden. Auch Anfang Januar kann man in der Umgebung die Natur genießen und viele schöne Eindrücke sammeln. Kerry ist immer und zu jeder Jahreszeit eine Reise wert und das Sneem-Hotel tut sein Bestes dazu.

This hotel is the gem of Kerry and should be in the top five best hotels in Ireland. I've stayed in many five star hotels and this hotel is by far the best all round hotel I've ever stayed in. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and informative. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Also the surrounding views around the hotel are beautiful. If you want an amazing form of relaxation this hotel is the one you should pick. 10 out of 10

We were looking forward to our stay ... Arrived Monday evening where a function for a group was in process.. we selected the hotel as. It was out of town, appeared away from noise of the town… paying at the highest room rate of the season therefore had high expectations.. sadly the opposite. Our room was extremely noisy above the bar & restaurant and beside the guest function toilet .. We were told all bar and lounge areas unavailable to us due to the function & recommended restaurants in the town for dinner ... sadly all closed in town as a Monday evening... others booked out due to options limited We were not offered a room away from the noise .. which as there was a function below .. would have been appreciated The room was adequate but bed was extremely hard … luckily the noise stopped at 10 pm Woken at 7 am with music and smells from the below kitchen ... sadly over priced & disappointed

Ich übernachtete auf meiner Dingle Way Wanderung in diesem Hotel. Obwohl Checkin erst um 15 Uhr war, konnte ich bereits ins Zimmer. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber und das Bad hatte eine Badewanne (Wohltat nach der Wanderung). Am Hotel angeschlossen ist ein Restaurant und Pub. Essen war sehr gut.

The tea/coffee with cakes upon arrival are a welcoming hug as you enter this charming home with views that are like a postcard. Phil meets you with her warm Irish smile and directs you to your well kept, comfortable room. We stayed downstairs in room 6. My family was in room 7 which is like a suite Micheal helps with the luggage with a joke or two and a kind sense of humor. Upon awakening you head toward the smells of fresh brewed coffee and breakfast to trump most all breakfasts in taste. I can say they made the one of the most delicious eggs Benedict’s in my history. Just around the corner is a pub and a walk along the magnificent cliffs. Phil lets you know all the things to do and how to get there. I loved my quiet time in the sitting room sipping coffee or Jameson and soaking in the views of the Atlantic, with sheep and ponies dotting the breathtaking landscape. Thank you Phil and Bernie for taking such good care of us.
