Our price did not include breakfast. So N/A. I loved the views of the bay! I loved talking to Roberto, who helped us check in even though he was a mainentance worker. We arrived in Hurricane Agnes and even though things were difficult he helped. This is a basic B without the B. If you want more pay the higher price and stay in the main building.

Well, the B&B pub/restaurant that was supposed to help check us in was closed because of the Hurricane...so no help. In fairness we wanted to checkin early because of the hurricane. It was not clear how to check in. Thank heavens for Roberto! The location was beautiful right by the bay with a beach. We did not use the beach as it was cold and stormy in the end of September. The drive to Coastguard lodge is only about 10 minutes to town centre but a portion is a one lane road. This American driver was not comfortable driving these roads but we encountered many in Ireland,

location beautiful

narrow room, steep upstairs

Lovely location by the coast, right next to bar. Comfortable beds, solid walls, good shower.

Tv remote not working, toilet roll ran out, no soap in shower, no tea making facilities.

Wonderful location right on the bay. Has a toaster and water boiler, but bring your own tea or coffee. The staff is very friendly, and it is close to many beautiful sites!

The room was spacious for sole occupancy. The Italian maintenance-man/room-attendant was very courteous and efficient; he fixed the bedroom window's curtain pole so that it no longer crashed to the floor when I attempted to open/close the curtains. Fiona was efficiently courteous in responding to my communication via the Booking.com app.

1) My bedroom wasn't quiet due to the noise coming from the bedroom directly above. For example, one evening around 11pm I was awoken by noise akin to a herd of elephants stampeding around the bedroom upstairs. Given that 'Elephas Maximus' is not a species native to West Kerry, I deduced the noise was coming from the late-night activities of the Continental European couple and their two young children (3/4 years old ) who were in the room directly above. Children will be children and we've all been there but I wonder why as a paying guest should I have to endure the disturbing cacophony of a parent roaring at children and the sound of their children crying as a result of being slapped. Therefore, the Coastguard Lodge needs to invest in improving the bedroom sound-proofing; for example, a starting point would be to cover the bedroom's bare wooden floorboards with rugs and/or carpet. 2) Most mornings the woman-owner of the catering business served breakfast; she could improve the customer experience by learning a few basic phrases in the Irish language (Gaeilge). Many guests were attending the week-long Gaeilge (Irish language) courses nearby and at breakfast conversed using Gaeilge (Irish). When the woman serving breakfast was addressed in Gaeilge she would reply loudly, bluntly and curtly "I do not speak Irish". If she had replied "níl an Gaeilge agam" ("I do not speak Irish") then that would be a welcome affirmation. The Coastguard Lodge is in the heart of the West Kerry Gaeltacht (area designated by the Government as Irish speaking) and therefore I strongly believe it is incumbent on the owners of the hospitality business to demonstrate appropriate support for the Irish language.

Perfect location, nice view Staff very welcoming and helpful

Very inconfortable beds !

I loved the little beach on the doorstep! Staff were friendly, especially the girl serving the food. Good range of food on menu in the bar (though not much vegetarian). Drinks reasonably priced. Clean.

Very remote location. Extremely basic accommodation....although clean I didn't feel comfortable enough to use the shower. Lodge has zero sound proofing and all the other guests were very noisy.

Location with a view. Close to the bar.
