Lhôtel et son confort.
La grandeur de la chambre, de la salle de bains et la vue.
Le jardin.
La soirée gâchée au restaurant Thaïlandais qui n'en a que le nom, tellement c'était mauvais.
Immangeable.
Mais qui cuisine ???
Sans parler de la présentation...
Des taxes en plus sur l'addition...?
Très grosse déception.
Le deuxième soir, nous avons mangé dans notre chambre.
Sinon, il fallait reprendre la voiture pour une dizaine de km, voire plus...pour trouver un restaurant ouvert.
Pas très cool.
Le soir même j'en ai fait part au propriétaire.
No comment...

Very comfortable clean spacious room. Dinner and breakfast were good. Staff extremely helpful and pleasant.
Would have been good to have an alternative to the Thai menu if staying several nights.

Das Haus ist wunderschön und inmitten eines richtigen prachtvollen Dschungels. Die Zimmer sind groß und recht passabel ausgestattet mit sehr komfortablen Betten. Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden. Personal sehr freundlich und bemüht, aber auch manchmal (auch sprachlich) überfordert.
(Entfernten) Meerblick haben wahrscheinlich nur 2 Zimmer - und das Meer ist in rund 300 Meter Entfernung. Die Ausstattung der Badezimmer ist "in die Tage gekommen". Das Frühstück ist sehr teuer und hier passen Preis/Leistung wie auch beim Abendessen nicht. Die Lage am Meer ist zwar schön, aber auch nur für Ruhesuchende wirklich von positivem Nutzen.

Everything was great

The location is amazing. We were able to walk down to the beach the evening we arrived, and before leaving the next day enjoyed the nature trails. I can't imagine how they must look in another season. The Thai food was excellent in the restaurant as well.
There was a smell like natural gas that was throughout the building. I think it must be from the kitchen, but it was noticeable.

We were travelling around Kerry during a very rainy week in July and stayed at the Kells Bay House and Gardens for 2 nights. The place is a real gem . The staff were very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed a lovely evening meal and 2 excellent breakfasts. The secluded location of the house set within beautiful lush gardens added to a very relaxing atmosphere. We especially loved the gardens and the subtropical species, which looked splendid even in the rain! A short walk to a local beach was also an added bonus.
We thought it was a pity that the first floor landing carpet appeared to have been damaged by muddy boots/shoes. Perhaps change to stripped wooden floors or have boot rack near entrance door . However we would emphasise this is a minor issue and did not detract from our overall excellent experience.

Private bath did not mean en-suite. This was kind of a bait and switch. Also we ordered breakfast after being told a hot meal was included in our room, yet at check out was informed hot breakfast was not included.

It was okay... The staff was friendly and the food was good.
The carpets were stained and dirty and the wood, tile floors were sticky.

Great staff, delicious breakfast, gorgeous location with free access to the gardens, access to water/beach, private and quiet surroundings, beautifully decorated. Great food options throughout the day and evening in the Thai restaurant. Bed was very comfortable.
We were unlucky as the guests staying in the suite above us didn’t respect quiet times, and you could hear them walking/talking until very late. Also Wifi didn’t work in our room, but it did everywhere else, this seemed to be a recent issue. We discussed these 2 things with staff and they were very understanding and took note to try and fix it.

It was hard to time the breakfast around the sittings as all too late for us-starting at 9..butAisling was amazing to help us out with our last breakfast which made a lot of difference.She was amazing,extremely diligent and did the job of ten.The location with beach and gardens were spectacular
Buffet breakfast from 7.30/8 would be fantastic.
Hard to contact and gain info about the surrounding areas and available transport before the trip.
Garden room bit cold and gloomy.

We had a lovely stay in the 2 bedroom studio to break our journey around the ring of Kerry. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal, and the breakfast and walked around the gardens and to the beach in the morning.

Our best hotel experience in Ireland! The place is exceptional, the huge gardens offer breathtaking views. The accommodation is carefully designed, the room elegant and comfortable. We were very well received and looked after. The Thai restaurant with its intimate setting is excellent, everything is homemade. The breakfast is also copious and qualitative. Ideal destination for a couple (but also for family with children). Thank you for this moment, we will return with pleasure!
