Ballybunion Hotels: Three Wonderful Hotels In And Around Ballybunion

The majority of Ballybunion hotels are to be found in the picturesque countryside surrounding the village. The following hotels make a superb destination for a special occasion or an ideal base for visiting the nearby beaches, Ballybunion Golf Club and touring the Ring of Kerry.

Ballyseede Castle Hotel is an authentic 15th century castle set within its own estate. Each of the 12 rooms in the castle has a bespoke design and all afford wonderful views of the castle's lawns.

It is possible to see the period features of its past (intricate plasterwork, large marble fire places) throughout the hotel and the guest rooms are all as tastefully furnished as the common areas. Dinner at the castle is a real treat for gastronomes as the personable service means that each dish of modern Irish cuisine is of the highest standard.

Closer to Ballybunion, the Glin Castle Hotel is on a much larger scale to Ballyseede with dozens of guest rooms and a variety of public areas. The castle grounds prove particularly popular with day-trippers for walks on the lawns and the walled gardens.

The hotel's own restaurant can cater for a variety of palates and group sizes and has a large menu to choose from, with traditional Irish dishes featuring prominently.

For anyone seeking a more rural setting for their holiday then the country setting of the Ballygarry Hotel is a joy to behold. The country house is set in a scenic area of countryside just outside Ballybunion. The rooms are all spacious and traditionally furnished as you would expect from a country house.

The real draw for many guests to Ballygarry is their restaurant and Nadur spa. The restaurant has a great hearty menu of Irish dishes that make great use of locally sourced produce. The spa is a new addition to the hotel that has added to its popularity thanks to the relaxing treatments that are available (mud-baths, seaweed soaks, thermal suites).

A key factor in Ballybunion's popularity is that it is one of the few villages in Kerry not to have been over-commercialized with trendy bars and coffee shops. It has retained a small traditional Irish feel to it that visitors still wish to experience and this charm is just as evident in the warm welcome you receive at hotels in Ballybunion.
