I visited the angsana spa today and Aree was my therapist. All I can say is wow wow wow!!! She is incredible! I have been to many spas and have had many treatments over the years but the facial that I had today with Aree was the best I’ve ever had. She is excellent and I will definitely be back!

Probably the best hotel you will stay in. Every aspect from start to finish is fantastic. Rooms, restaurant and spa are all very well maintained. And the service is always warm and friendly. My wife and myself have been coming here years and have never been disappointed.

The Ashe Hotel

If it's a friendly spot for a catch-up or a relaxed stopover for business, The Ashe Hotel is the perfect place to take a break. A modern four star addition to the vibrant and historical town of Tralee, this contemporary hotel is proving a popular place for lunch, dinner, drinks or roasted fresh coffee. A bustling hub, popular with neighbours and visitors, we love our location tucked away behind the main shopping street in the centre of town. Whether it's evening cocktails, a sparkling dinner, or a plush pillow for a great night's sleep, there's every good reason to stay. Our speciality gastro bar and restaurant menu is full of food sourced from local producers. Lunch happens from 12pm to 4pm and dinner from 4pm to 9pm. We're serious about providing the finest quality ingredients and a changing menu to fill happy appetites (even little ones with our children's menu). Soak up the atmosphere of our buzzing bar with smooth wines, craft beers, and a great line in cool cocktails. Meet friends, chill out after a busy day, enjoy a fun evening - our bar staff can mix things up for you. At The Ashe Hotel, we get excited about top class comfort and our ability to provide luxury accommodation in the heart of Kerry's capital. Even better, we are a stroll away from shops, restaurants, businesses and other fun things like swimming and the movies.

Big thumbs up for The Ashe Hotel

Reviewed By Gagabee

We stayed at the Ashe last month, and I loved it. I had been staying in the Manor West - the Ashe's sister hotel - all week, but needed an extra night at short notice. The Manor West - which is great too - couldn't extend my booking, but directed me to the Ash instead. It was absolutely perfect. It was a work trip for me, and I was busy and stressed, but the welcome and the willingness to help at the Ashe was just a tonic. The reception staff were super helpful, as were the wait staff - attentive and charming without being in your face. We were leaving before breakfast the following morning, but there was a lovely continental breakfast available from 6.30am. Naomi came and chatted to us and made sure we had all we needed. I was sorry I had to work, as it would have been lovely to stay longer and just relax - the place lends itself to that. Quirky but very stylish decor,, lovely staff, lovely rooms, great food, great location - and all at reasonable rates. Will definitely return when I have time to stay longer and enjoy. Thank you very much. And big thanks to big sis Manor West too!

Dingle Skellig... All the best of our dreams of Ireland

Reviewed By donceil

My husband and I had been looking forward to this trip to Ireland for 2 years, since the pandemic forced cancellation of our original trip, a milestone birthday celebration, scheduled in 2020. During that delay, we imagined the visit becoming the best of our dreams of Ireland . That it was exactly that is fundamentally due to our stay at the Dingle Skellig Hotel. We arrived at the hotel ridiculously early from our flight from JFK to Shannon and were immediately welcomed by Karen who totally surprised us with news that our room was ready. Kirsten and the team had made great efforts to make this welcoming gesture possible. Kirsten then sent up "belated birthday" chocolates to our room. Talk about feeling welcome and taken care of! This warmth, enthusiasm, energy and attention to details seemed to permeate all of the Skellig's staff. Our room was extremely comfortable , feeling both elegant as we watched sunsets over Dingle Bay and the Kerry Hills from our full glass bay window, sipping sparkling water from the refrigerator or wine, and like home away from home with comfortable back supportive furniture (bed, sofa, chairs), and a sparkling fully stocked bath with a dual control rain fall shower (actually better than home! :-) The restaurants were wonderful - they have an excellent kitchen. The dishes were delicious and the service was attentive, friendly and efficient, even when they were managing two weddings over the weekend we were there. Quite impressive. Jurgita, who was hostess in the Coast Guard Restaurant the night we designated as our birthday celebration dinner surprised us by seating us in the "best table in the restaurant" (which it was), bringing our dessert with birthday candles on each, and then graciously taking beautiful pictures of us out on the patio. On another evening Mr. Fitzgerald, the GM, totally surprised us with a complimentary bottle of wine with our dinner. This is a beautiful hotel in a breathtakinly beautiful setting with extremely comfortable rooms and excellent restaurants. But what makes it special most of all are the warm, welcoming, helpful staff. They take everything up a notch with their enthusiasm and unfailing effort to make your stay everything you hope for. We can't thank them enough!

Family reunion, super night!

We had a family reunion last weekend. The room was lovely, the food was excellent and the service was top class. It was also great value for money. It was an ideal venue for our group which ranged from older people to infants. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff we met was pleasant, helpful and professional. Looking forward to going back.

Charming tastefully decorated hotel.

Reviewed By 984susanne

Charming hotel. A short stroll to the centre of the village. Staff excellent. Food in the bar was very good. We would have loved tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Two glasses provided for bottled water but no bottled water. That would have been nice. I'm sure if we asked, the bottles of water would have been provided. Breakfast was excellent.

Exceptional in every way

Reviewed By njamison082

We have just left a wonderful few nights at The Ballygarry Hotel. The stay was once again faultless. The Ballygarry is a very very special place, and will always be to us. This time I proposed to my partner at the hotel and I am so great full to all the staff for making it so incredibly special, but in particular special thanks to Niall, Shauna, Liz, Chloe and Ellen. From the spa, to the rooms, to the food, the hotel is outstanding and you are welcomed to feel like part of the family. I am already planning our next return for my birthday in October
