“Simply the best B&B I've ever visited”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I visited Dingle with my wife and mother-in-law in the fall and stayed at the Pax Guest House. We drove in late that night because we flew into Shannon. It was hard to tell too much about the surroundings because it was nearly midnight by the time we pulled in, but John was up quietly waiting for us, not even the slightest bit put off by our late arrival. He showed us to our large, comfortable room, and we all slept soundly. There were several other guests, but we didn't hear any of them. When we woke, we stepped out into the breakfast lounge to see the most breathtaking view stretching out around us. Words do not well describe the beauty of the landscape, and all three of us would have been content just sitting comfortably on the sitting room couch, relaxing the day away and soaking in the rolling Irish countryside. The breakfast was large and delicious, and John took the time to walk us through every little nook and cranny of the drive around Dingle. It was the highlight of our trip for sure, and on top of it, it was the least expensive of the 3 incredible B&Bs we visited. If I have one regret, it's that I wasn't able to stay a second night!

“Our favourite B&B on our Ireland trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

This B&B exceeded all expectations. We only spent 2 nights there but would have loved to stay longer. We were met by John and Rio the dog and enjoyed a lovely coffee tray in his gorgeous sun room. If I tried hard I could not come up with a detail that was not addressed. His rooms were laid out impeccably. His breakfast was a delight on a table filled with lovely little dishes and things to delight the eye. His home was filled with books, art work and cozy pillows and throws. The sun room has the most spectacular view across the dingle bay. My husband and I had a simple main floor room that was really all we needed as we felt so welcome to curl up on a couch in the sun room and read books and drink coffee. The only hard job we had was to throw the ball for Rio every once in a while. Fabulous!

“My favorite place in Ireland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

I chose Pax House because of the spectacular photos of harbor and pastures, and the actual views lived up to the promise and more. An idyllic country setting, not too far from town and worth the short walk or drive. Restful, beautiful guesthouse with interesting, eclectic furniture and decoration. Good breakfast in pleasant breakfast room. Really fabulous and welcoming host John and his sweet dog Rio. My boyfriend had a tough time dislodging me from Pax House when it was time to leave. Would never stay anywhere else when visiting Dingle.

“Best Ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband and I went to Ireland in September. We toured the west coast starting at Doolin. On our 19 day tour we stayed at seven different B&B's. The best by far was the Pax House. The house was beautiful, the views were breath taking, the location was excellent, and John and his staff are beyond compare anywhere we have ever been before. John must have been a professional chef at one time because the breakfasts were not only delicious, but the presentation was artistically done.

Room Tip: We asked for a room with a view and got a room on the second floor looking out on the Bay of Dingle...

“A showcase in Dingle”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

My husband and I stayed here in November along with other members of my extended family. We all agreed that this was a highlight of our trip. The accomadations were beautiful, spacious, and homey. The common rooms were welcoming with stunning views. John and his staff were incredibly warm and helpful. John's home is filled with artwork, sculptures, and books. A real treat to stay here. We had to stay an extra night because we couldn't handle the thought of moving on. We definitely felt spoiled.
