We were in Ireland early in the season and as such my wife and I were the only people there at the time. John is everything a host should be. Friendly, helpful and informative. The location is absolutely perfect, the views spectacular, and the town charming. My wife and I are dog lovers so being welcomed by Rio was plus. Make sure you take a minute to play ball with her. John, your directions through Tralee were perfect. Thx for everything, and if we are ever lucky enough to return to Ireland, we'll be back to see you.

When we arrived at Pax, we were greated by John the owner and his faithful companion Rio, his friendly black dog, who wanted us to play with her ball. John made us feel very welcome from the outset and gave us a full description of the house and the grounds. He described the view of Dingle Bay and the Ring of Kerry and where Fungie, the dolphin might be seen. John then gave us a detailed hand drawn map of Dingle town with all the restaurants, pubs and car parking marked and numbered and described each in detail. Our room was excellent with a view over Dingle Bay. Exactly as John had described, Fungie the dolphin appeared the following morning rounding off a beautiful stay. Breakfast was something to be believed. In a room overlooking the bay, we were served excellent food. I was sorry to have to leave but I promised John that we would return. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Thanks to all the Trip Advisor reviewers who persuaded us to stay at the Pax Guesthouse. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and immediately provided with tea and a treat in the comfortable sitting area, where we could enjoy the fabulous view. And yes, they probably do--as advertised--have the best view over Dingle Harbour to the hills beyond. To our surprise, because we had not booked one of their most expensive rooms, our room on the lower level also had a fabulous view and opened onto the lower patio. It was large enough for a sitting area quite separate from the sleeping area. The bathroom was narrow, but had all the essential ingredients. The spacious breakfast room on the main level shared the outstanding view, as did the patio adjoining the lounge area. Our host, John, and his staff provided fantastic service. John, in particular, couldn't do enough to help. We're only concerned that he might burn himself out completely as he works incredibly hard to ensure everyone's happiness. Our only surprise was the decor, which I would describe as eclectic/contemporary. I expect that the website had not been redesigned since John took over from the previous owners, as the photos on the website with traditional furnishings and antiques are not of the current incarnation. This was really not a problem for us as the current decor and the extensive contemporary art collection were great.

What can I say, this place has it all, amazing views, relaxed reading rooms, 180 degree sea views, a host who cannot do enough to ensure a pleasant stay. We stayed here last Monday night and the place was full all 12 rooms, John the owner was just the best, he even dropped us to the Restaurant for dinner, cheers John.
