Find Beach Hotels in Southwest Ireland

It was raining (go figure) and we just got back from eating dinner. The Help asked us if we wanted anything and got us baileys and we spent time by the fire. Very nice. Breakfast was awesome. Was sorry to see the evening help leave and not be there in the morning but Kitty was there to serve breakfast and help with checkout. If you want hustle and bustle and rude waitstaff you’ve gone to the wrong place. We went to the cliffs and Aron island afterwards and wanted to go back but it didn’t fit...

Aoife and her husband Seamus are ably assisted by their son Dermot in keeping this excellent hotel at the top of the list for places to stay - and eat - in the area near Ballybunion & Tralee. The fact that this family-run hotel is a wedge to the clubhouse at Ballybunion Golf Club is another plus. If you have tried the best, why try the rest?

We had a one-night stay at the Tides and wish we had more time there. The entire establishment was immaculate. The crepes at breakfast were divine! Everyone was friendly and looked for ways to help us have a wonderful stay. Will definitely stay longer next time.

Our room had a beautiful view and Ronan was incredibly friendly and helpful in planning out time in Dingle.

Staff were friendly! Rooms amazing. Overall just perfect!

Staff were amazing, very helpful and friendly. Hotel was beautiful. Everything was very clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast which came with our room was out of this world! Everything you could want and more! Sitting areas were beautiful, as was the bar lounge area. Large parking area. Overall, just a very relaxing stay. I would definitely recommend and would stay again if I travel to Ireland in the future!

Absolutely incredible place to stay. The rooms were top notch, the extras amazing, and to top it off I had the best steak of my life in the highly-rated attached restaurant! Would totally recommend this hotel and restaurant to anybody and surely visit again. Beautiful location on the Ring of Kerry.

We stayed on the 6th night of an 8 day trip around Ireland. We had seen a profile about Ballymaloe house on CBS Sunday Morning and we were not disappointed. The grounds are great, the rooms classic with great comfort and the staff is wonderful. The meals were absolutely top notch, and we got a private look at the wine cellar, and my wife learned how to bake Irish Soda Bread in their kitchen. I highly recommend anyone going to Ireland to experience this great property.

What a wonderful find! We needed to stay overnight between Cork and Waterford. Booked this at the last minute. It is beautifully located convenient to Cork City and County Waterford just across the bridge from the beach town of Youghal. friendly hosts who recommended one of the best seafood restaurants we've experienced (Ahearne). very comfortable , spacious room with gorgeous view. Superb full breakfast. We will be back!

Great hotel & pub. Very nice rooms and staff. Convenient to everything.

Beautiful spacious home! Excellent breakfasts! Vito was so very kind and accommodating. He helped us whenever we asked & always with a smile! We felt like we were right at home! Loved the beautiful Irish Wolfhounds too!!!

Outstanding location, 2 blocks from the town square. Free parking under the hotel. Cobh was one of my favorite stops on our 10 stop, 3-week trip around the emerald isle. Each morning there was a new cruise ship viewable from the breakfast patio, but the town was perfectly walkable and not over-run by the cruise ship passengers. The Cobh Heritage Center is across the street and they helped my find some ancestors from Cork. It was a short, but invigorating walk uphill to line of the colorful...

Everything was perfect except for not bringing our luggage (2 heavy bags) up the stairs to the third floor. The staff offered to assist but we wouldn’t have that. We were traveling for two weeks and decided to only bring up our necessities. Really love the place though!!!

Beautiful place and excellent friendly people. My family is impress with the quality of the people, funny , friendly, helpful, beautiful people all around

Wonderful stay with a great common area for meeting other travelers!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous stay!
