Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at this hotel on the Ring of Kerry, and it was a mixed experience. The rooms had a pleasant garden surroundings but were a bit noisy being right at the top of the stairs. The service was friendly, and they even offered welcome drinks, but the weather didn't fully cooperate during our visit. Dining was delicious with an excellent view of the gardens, and facilities were well-maintained. The location is perfect for sightseeing but had some furniture inconvenience due to painting happening nearby.
The hotel is ideally located on the Ring of Kerry, near the charming village of Glenbeigh. The rooms are spacious and offer a relaxing atmosphere with beautiful garden views. However, some rooms are smaller. The service is excellent with attentive housekeeping and helpful assistance for tours and tickets. The dining options are ample and pleasing to a variety of tastes, featuring delicious sourdough bread. The location is superb, close to the picturesque Rossbeigh beach. On the downside, some areas are cluttered with furniture from ongoing painting. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and beautiful surroundings.
My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful! The pace was slow, the food was excellent, and the rooms were very comfortable with lovely antique furniture. The beautiful yard view added to the peaceful ambiance of the place. The only downside was the unpredictable weather during our visit.
My 11-night stay at the Glenbeigh hotel was fabulous. The room was fresh and comfy, making my experience wonderful. The food was good overall, but I particularly enjoyed the chicken goujons from the children's menu. The room did have older furnishings, which was the only downside.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were very spacious and fabulous, just what we needed for our little break to Glenbeigh. The dining experience was amazing with wonderful staff, but there were limited breakfast options. The location was excellent, close to the village with easy access to bars and shops.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room where I stayed was lovely and very comfortable, but being located right at the top of the stairs meant I could hear people passing by at all hours, which was a drawback. The view onto their beautiful garden and distant sea view was a nice touch. Overall, a decent stay for 2 nights.
