Caitin's, hotel in Kells

Overlooking Dingle Bay, midway between Glenbeigh and Cahirciveen, Caitin's is a traditional old-style pub with guest accommodation. Access to the Kerry Way walking route runs alongside Caitin's.

We stayed in a wonderful room with a sea view. The beds are comfortable, but not very wide for two people. The design is clean and pleasant. The staircase to the 3rd floor is very steep, so you need to be careful. You can clearly hear sounds from the neighboring rooms in the room. The hotel has a large parking lot, which is very crowded with buses and tourists in the morning and during the day. Breakfast in the kitchen needs to be self-service, there are no hot dishes, and the children's menu has only yogurt and milk with cereal. There are fruits and sliced bread for toast. There is no TV, kettle, glasses or tea sets in the room, but the WiFi is good. The hairdryer is shared in the hallway. All night long you can hear the sounds of the road, there is no silence.

    This is a lovely peaceful spot and the gardens are really special. It’s a little out of the way so you definitely need a car. Everything about the accommodation was top quality. Would definitely recommend the Thai food. There were lots of options for breakfast and portions were generous.

    A wonderful location.

    A wonderful location. We stayed in the 'garden room' which was amazing. We arrived during a heat wave and I'm presuming it's because it was an old house, but it was our first night sleeping in a cool room. If u arrive during colder weather there is a stove in the room which I presume can be lit. We had dinner and breakfast in the adjacent restaurant and I would rate it as 10 out 10.

    A beautiful little quiet nook on the western end of the Ring of Kerry. I would love to see the village have a little coffee place or bar/lounge for people to enjoy the lovely setting and views from there.

    Kells was only a stop over on our way to Dingle so my expectations were not up to much. However, I absolutely loved Kells, the scenery when driving towards the bay was fantastic. The bay was beautiful, clean and well maintained. Wish I had time to stay in Kells for a few days, will definitely return. The local pub did good food and live music. Another town worth staying in would be 'Adair,' full of charming thatched cottages ( on route to Dingle).

    Victoria was a charming hostess. When we arrived, we had not eaten, and she suggested a delicious Thai restaurant just a few minutes walk from her house. The flora on her property, and throughout the neighborhood, is stunning. We even saw a waterfall on our short stroll. The room was clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. In the morning, Victoria served a lovely continental breakfast that included a treat from her pastry-chef sister. We then had a short 30-minute drive to catch our boat to Skellig Michael.

    Victoria is a great host. She has so many tips to give on how to get the most out of your stay, plus she bakes delicious cakes! When you arrive, you should take out a pen and paper to note down her advice and recommendations - she'll give you so many. Plus she's a master gardener.Victoria's house was a great base for us to explore the beauty of Kerry. Having Kells Bay beach/harbour just down the road is excellent for a swim. The microclimate is a wonder for anyone interested in flowers and plants.

    Great house, perfect for 2 large families. Good size garden for kids to play in. Bbq on terrace overlooking bay was fabulous and we got the weather to enjoy it. Kells bay beach is a great, safe, sandy beach which is excellent to swim on and only 5 mins walk. Good location to explore Valentia, Skelligs and lots more without spending too much time in the car. Would happily go back and would recommend the house and area.

    The location was absolutely incredible. We took a walk down to the beach through what I can best describe as a rainforest -- I didn't know Ireland terrain could look like that. Gorgeous waterfall along the way, sweet little beach area with a concession stand and ice cream.....totally wonderful. Victoria's House was a garden itself, and Victoria was a lovely attentive hostess.
