Ballybunion Hotels: Three Best Hotels In Kerry
Posted by Jacob Jones under: Golf .
The town of Ballybunion has been attracting visitors to Kerry for decades due to its wonderful beaches and the world famous Ballybunion Golf Club. What surprises many visitors are that the large majority of Ballybunion hotels are situated in the rural outskirts surrounding town rather than in the heart of the village. This article provides a short list of 3 excellent lodgings that are perennially popular for their food, service and great views.
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.
The renovation work to the hotel over previous decades has been tastefully done to retain the period charm of the building while including elegant furnishings and artwork throughout. Dining at the castle is a regal affair thanks to the exquisite menu of dishes (a mix of Irish and classic French cuisine) and the ornate style of dining room with its panoramic views.
Staying with the castle theme, the Glin Castle Hotel has a larger quantity and selection of rooms to choose from. The Glin Castle is situated overlooking the Shannon River and features a wonderful walled garden that proves popular for an after-dinner walk.
The hotel is also a popular spot for weekend lunches and special occasions with their restaurant menu brimming with hearty Irish dishes that all prepared with a modern twist.
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.
