“PAX was Perfect!”

Pax Guest House

5 of 5 stars
Dallas, Texas
May 22, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at PAX House. We had planned to stay 1 but enjoyed it so much, we changed our plans to stay another. Several reasons contributed to our decision: the view, the friendliness of John (the owner), the atmosphere among the guests due to John's hospitality and the overall feel of the place. Also, John has a dog, Rio, that my wife wanted to take back with her. The dog added to the homey feeling.
John goes out of his way to make all feel welcome (but in a professional, not intrusive way). For example, he offers and serves coffee (via French Press) and tea regularly. He does an evening turn down service, and leaves biscuits and chocolates. He has multiple sitting rooms, stocked with books and games that are available for the guests. The rooms and the eating area have high powered binoculars that are used to admire the fabulous view of the Dingle Bay and the surrounding peninsula.
The rooms and the facility are tastefully decorated in upbeat, happy themes. The dishes, the service and the food was tops on our 2 week trip throughout the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
We had some car problems and John contacted the garage and set up a way to get our car repaired. He told us that if the repairs were going to take a long time that he would pick us up and take us around so we can see the sights; very thoughtful.
We also spent more time with the other guests in PAX House then in any of the other B&Bs as he makes all feel at home, so we naturally chat with each other. He does not force this, it just occurs as you are admiring the view or playing fetch with the dog (outside on the patio).

“Pax House is Wonderful”

Pax Guest House

5 of 5 stars
Boston
May 20, 2008

First, the view from our room was amazing! Second, John is a wonderful host - helpful, caring, informative, and anxious to make the Pax House the best it can be. Our room was very comfortable, lots of nice little touches such as binoculars to scan the coastline around Dingle Bay and lots of books to peruse. Our breakfast was one of the best on our trip - again, lots of nice touches.

The location is great - only about a 10 minute walk to town. While it's an "uphill" walk back, it's not that steep a hill and it will help work off that delicious meal and/or pint or two you just enjoyed! And it's very peaceful and quiet for a good nights sleep.

We'll definitely be returning for another stay.

“Great hospitality”

Pax Guest House

May 9, 2008

We spent two nights at Pax House. John the owner was so welcoming when we arrived. He has a lovely dog too called Rio. So lovable!! He gave us a lovely room facing fantastic views. Amazing! The room was toastie warm when we arrived and very comfortable. The decor isnt my choice but all clean and new. When we went out and returned that evening there was two slices of lovely homemade cake on our table. Each evening he put something out for us for when we got back in. Friends of ours that stayed in another room got a lovely hot water bottle in a soft toy in their beds!! John is amazing and works so hard to make everyones stay perfect. He seemed to remember everyones names too! Breakfast was lovely aswell. The second morning we had to wait quite a bit for our food, but it was really really busy and we didnt mind because the view from the breakfast room was breath taking. The B and B is about a km from the town so you are away from the loud bars, etc. There are heaps of taxis to bring you back after a night out (as it is uphill on the way back!) and costs very little for the short journey. I totally recommend staying at this B and B.

“Stunning view”

Pax Guest House

May 2, 2008

We spent 2 nights there and we must have to admit that it was great.
John is such a lovely man, very welcoming and always ready to help you with his advices about the area.
The view is just fantastic (we even saw the dolphin when we were having our breakfast the 1st day!!!) and the rooms are very comfortable.
You'll find a piece of a delicious cake before going to sleep... Soooo good!
The hot-water bottle on my bed has been much appreciated as I was the one driving the whole week end...
To conclude, Pax house is a very nice place to stay in Dingle with a very welcoming athmosphere...

“Highly recommend Pax House”

Pax Guest House

5 of 5 stars
Orlando, Florida
Apr 25, 2008

We stayed two nights at Pax House in Dingle and loved it. The inn is very clean, comfortable, and has beautiful views all around. John, the innkeeper, is an excellent host. Very friendly and helpful and serves a delicious breakfast in the morning overlooking Dingle Bay. The inn is decorated with an interesting collection of art works and good books. We highly recommend a stay here. It is very, very nice!
