Dingle Skellig Hotel and Peninsula Spa Review

Rambling and modern as this building may be, its center is occupied by a beehivelike shape that's intended to echo local clocháns (prehistoric beehive huts), opening on to an octagonal reception area that has wood cladding, contemporary stained-glass doors, and original paintings. Modern, pale-wood furniture and bold fabrics adorn the spacious rooms, which are in separate wings, and mostly have sea views. The Peninsula Spa offers hydrotherapy and a relaxation suite, and features an outdoor hot tub with stunning bay views. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the Coastguard restaurant look out over Dingle Bay. As you'd expect, the specialty is seafood.

    Very satisfactory stay here with out 4 young children. good for families in terms of facilities and pool area.great location-within walking distance of town and some good restaurants (Ashe's,the Charthouse-we thought both were excellent).Fantastic,though pricey icecream at Murphy's! Rooms were nice /clean / we had lovely views.
    All in all a very nice hotel and we'll be back!
