“Perfect place to stay in Dingle - beautiful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2010

The Pax house is the perfect place to stay in Dingle, it is about 10 minutes walk to the pubs and restaurants but that is a bonus as it means the elevated view of the bay and the peace and quiet is unmatched, the town is very busy and noisy and is great for music and food but so much nicer for us to stay in the lovely place with views across the bay. We had a lovely room with a large sitting room and patio , John provides shawls and cushions so you can sit out as late as you like, Rio also likes to play ball with anyone in the garden. The breakfasts were the best we have EVER had, so much choice on the cold table, all very fresh and the cooked breakfast which followed was perfect. Binoculars provided too so we could watch Fungi dancing around boats in the bay, this is the best place to stay in Dingle if you like wonderful views and a quiet location whilst not being too far from town, walk it in 10 mins or car parks are free in the evening so easy to drive.

“What a wonderful respite!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2010

We received wonderful directions to Pax House, including landmarks not just highways (which is a very good thing in Ireland) and including a recommendation to come via Conner Pass which is a wonderful option on a clear day. We found this B&B to be one of the most comfortable and luxurious we visited during our 2 weeks in Ireland. The rooms and very clean and neat and the king-sized bed and large bathroom were very welcome. Each evening we were there, we enjoyed the back deck and view of Dingle Bay, chatting with other guests and playing with the dog. We were greeted each evening with a pot of tea and biscuits which were truly delightful. Breakfast was very delicious and well prepared. Loved the yogurt! We hated to leave!

“Pax House and Dingle are a perfect combination”

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.

“You must go to the Pax Guest House in Dingle - it is excellent - Thank you John.”

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.

“Rave reviews for this excellent guesthouse”

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.
