Kells Bay House and Gardens

Leider ist das Haus und die Einrichtung schon in die Jahre gekommen. Das Restaurant macht einen ordentlichen Eindruck und die Gäste, die dort gespeist haben, waren sehr zufrieden.

Leider alles ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. Die Bettwäsche und die Handtücher waren alle sauber. Allerdings waren die Zimmer nicht sehr sauber. Überall Staub etc.

Needs to decide if it's a hotel or a garden centre. Like some dowager marchioness who no longer makes an effort because she was at the queen's coronation in 1953, this place comes complete with staff who are aggrieved to have guests. There is no reception to speak of, and you have to go looking for someone who works here. Our room was big but not clean with black mould in the bathroom and cobweb-encrusted light fitting. There was no hot water the evening we arrived. Breakfast is between 0830 and 0930, so if you're catching the 0800 boat to Skelligs then tough luck. The "new" card machine apparently doesn't handle long division, so the "receptionist" tells each person how much they pay irrespective of what you had. Letters from royalty and RHS gold medals (there were 24 golds this year) point to skills better used in the garden than those needed to run a hotel. The undertone is slightly schizophrenic, like an old English house with lovely gardens and views, struggling to keep up with an Ireland that knows it deserves better these days.

Location was fantastic Beds were very comfortable Friendly staff

Too hot Carpets looked dirty No Hooks for clothes in bathroom No bar facilities I assumed breakfast was included,it wasn’t! No clothes rack

It is a beautiful old home in a secluded garden setting. The breakfast and dinner menus were excellent.

The guest areas in the house are musty and dusty and need better airing and cleaning. There was a lot of mould in our bathroom, dirty carpet and windows. It needs better cleaning maintenance to justify the cost of the accommodation.

Gorgeous property Ability to walk to the beach and through the gardens was lovely

The gardens were amazing and the walk to the beach very enjoyable.

Le jardin tropical est magnifique ! Les lits étaient confortables et la baignoire (hors de la chambre mais salle de bains privée) était immense.

La chambre était pas mal mais il faisait une chaleur horrible et on ne pouvait pas ouvrir la fenêtre ! La dame qui nous a accueilli était plus occupée à servir les gens du restaurant...
