We stayed two nights at the Pax house in a spacious room with a lovely view. John was a fantastic host; extremely helpful in giving directions and really interesting and fun to talk to! We appreciated the many thoughtful touches, including fresh flowers in the room, chocolates on the bed in the evening, and binoculars to search for that elusive... More

Although all of our guest houses on our visit to Ireland this month were wonderful, our favorite house was the Pax House. John is a wonderful host, constantly attentive and gracious, and helpful with recommendations. The home is beautiful with extraordinary views of Dingle Bay and Ring of Kerry in the distance. We arrived at the Pax House on May... More

We've been to Dingle several times, but in spite of not great weather, this was our best trip thanks to the superb stay at Pax House. We have generally not felt comfortable in the "public areas" of other B&Bs, but Pax House provides truly welcoming surroundings. The views were stunningly beautiful, John and his staff were focused on making us... More

Really, five is not enough to tell you how much we loved this place. John's friendliness and his sense of humor put us at ease immediately upon our arrival. Looking out all the windows as we enjoyed tea in his comfy sunroom gave us an idea of what was in store for us. If you didn't want to look out... More

The last thing this places needs is another rave review, but honestly, Pax House blew us away. Not just the gorgeous setting and luxurious rooms and sumptuous breakfasts, but because of the incomparable hospitality of owner John Pax. From the moment we arrived, he learned our first names and addressed us by name the rest of our 3-day stay. Even... More

The rooms... More

I hope that John is smiling when he reads all of these reviews on Trip Advisor. There are not enough superlatives to describe the Pax House experience. My husband, teen daughter and I were lucky enough to be guests at Pax House last month. We arrived stressed out by a hectic three hour drive to Dingle, but were warmly greeted... More

We liked: - The incredible quality of food and service at breakfast - we felt like being in a 5-star-hotel! - John's great hospitality, sense of humour and caring attitude... More

What a lovely place to stay. A beautiful view overlooking Dingle Bay is afforded you as you sit on the terrace behind the Pax Guest House. We spent two nights in April here on our first ever trip to the Emerald Isle. When we go back, and we will, the Pax will be tops on our list of places to... More

I was impressed before I even arrived in Dingle. I was arriving by bus and he asked me to let him know when I was arriving so that he could send someone to collect me. His attention to every detail is astounding. Each night, my bed was turned down and a teddy bear was sitting on one pillow, legs crossed.... More
