The unbelievable views makes this B & B worth being away from the center of town. We had tea and coffee in the lounge and sat and enjoyed the views before heading off into town. After walking through the town of Dingle, we realized that being at the B & B was much more enjoyable, so we bought a bottle... More

To sum it up in one word, OUTSTANDING! The view was extraordinary, the room was better than the room we had at Ashford Castle. It is a little out of town (about a 12 minute walk) but John offered to drive us down for the evening. The only thing better than the B&B is the host John. From the initial... More

From the moment we were greeted by John, we knew we had found a good spot. Our room was beautiful, the bathroom luxurious, and the bed was extremely comfortable.The view from this place is beyond belief, and the location was perfect-just outside of the town, but without the noise and hustle of traffic and people. Breakfast and service here were... More

What a fabulous place! The view was extraordinary, as was the host John... or should that be John was extraordinary, and so was the view? From the first email enquiry to the departure it was classy and a whole lot of fun... it was a bit of a splurge for us, but very well worth it. If I had to... More

**Location: This was perhaps my biggest concern when booking as it is up the hill a ways from Dingle town. It is about a 12 minute walk down and a 15 minute walk up. Or you can drive and park. Honestly, I wouldn’t trade the views here for anything closer in. Also, it is a very quiet and serene location... More

Why would anyone stay anywhere else in Dingle? This extraordinary B&B has the best view, the best view, the best food and most attentive host we have ever had in all of our travels in Ireland. The rooms on the first floor are exquisitely decorated. Each breakfast is individually made and delivered to your table. The host, John, is well... More

Pax Guest House well deserves its No #1 ranking on tripadvisor. It is the best B&B I have stayed at. John, the owner, gives his all to make everyone's stay amazing. The breakfast is phenomenal, especially with the Baileys hot chocolate. We stayed in a room with leading out to the garden area which worked out really well. The view... More

The trouble with picking the number 1 place to stay is you don't know what you can add but here goes. This place was sublime. The host John is incredibly welcoming and warm as his his lovely guesthouse (and his dog!). It is almost an attraction in itself. It has a beautiful lounge room with 3 different areas to sit... More

The only word to describe the Pax Guest House is AMAZING. The location is perfect, about a kilometer from town up a nice hill overlooking Dingle Harbor and Dingle Bay. Pure quiet at night, a real Irish country feel only 10 minute walk from town. John is a true professional and is totally committed to his guests comfort and enjoyment.... More

My wife and I spent the night at Pax House, it was serene. Beautiful view out of our window and the breakfast was incredible. We were treated like royalty. Conveniently just up the road from downtown Dingle shops and restaurants. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Hope to return there sometime...
