We enjoyed an extended stay at Pallas Lodge. It’s in a peaceful location. As hosts, Pat and Kay were responsive and helpful. The gardens surrounding the home are beautifully designed and looked after with care. Views the water and the mountains from the property are stunning. The location afforded day trips to Allihies, Eyeries, Castletownbere, and the entire Beara Peninsula. We highly recommend Pallas Lodge.
We had a lovely stay at Pallas Lodge, the house was amazing, with the best view ever!
Pat and Kay met us on day one, showed us around the house and then gave us some ideas of where to visit on the Beara Peninsula.
There was food and milk in the fridge for us for breakfast the next morning also!
If you want a quiet undisturbed holiday on the wild Atlantic coast you can not go wrong here! A beautiful place, and a fabulous house to stay in!
Kay and Ted met us at the house and stocked the fridge with some eggs, bread, butter, Irish bacon and sausages, milk. Freshly cut flowers from their garden decorated the table. The house sits on a beautiful bluff with a view of the Pallas Pier. The views are spectacular and the Beara Peninsula is enchanting. Beds comfortable, clean linens, fully stocked kitchen for cooking meals. Quiet, peaceful and one of our favorite home sharing experiences ever.
The house is awesome and leaves nothing to be desired. Several bathrooms, spacious and well furnished with everything and more you could need.
The Beara Peninsula is wild and lovely at the same time. However, getting there and driving the ring of Beara was quite an adventure for us (narrow roads and many curves).
Many thanks to our hosts who provided us with the ingredients for an Irish breakfast. We liked it very much (even the black and the white pudding).
We had a wonderful time in Pallas Lodge and were welcomed by our lovely host Pat and beautiful flower arrangements from the garden. The hosts had left everything for a full Irish breakfast for us for the next morning and everything was super clean. Pat shared his time generously to explain everything regarding the house and what to do in the area. The house is much prettier than described in the ad and we had a gorgeous time with amazing views. Communication with Kay was straight forward and lovely. It felt like Kay and Pat really care about their guests and want them to have a great experience. Definitely hoping to come back.
From the moment we stepped into the door, welcomed by Kay and Pat our very friendly hosts, we immediately began to relax into an extremely attractive and comfortable home. The spacious artistic house is in an idyllic setting, and furnished to a high standard. It has many places to sit and relax and is fully equipped with everything you could possibly want and more. It feels like a well loved home in every sense of the word, rather than a holiday rental. Like the house, the garden too is attractively designed with lawns and an array of colour co-ordinated flowers and shrubs. Beyond the garden, the views are stunning down to the fishing harbour and mountains beyond.
The Beara Peninsula has an unspoilt feel with plenty of less touristy places to visit. We drove the coastal lanes with stunning views, as well as visiting small towns and villages and delightful places to eat.
If you love beauty, hares! and are looking for a peaceful and stress-free holiday surrounded by nature, then book a stay at Pallas Lodge.
We have spent a wonderful stay in the house of Kay and Pat. Many thanks for their warm welcome.
The house is nice, very confortable in a very beautiful place in the Beara peninsule.
After a very warm Welcome we got introduced to the house. It's big, comfy and beautiful to say it in a few words. The surrounding is stunning.
We would come back anytime.
This is a beautiful house in a fabulous location. The house has every amenity, a wonderful view in the Beara peninsula, which for someone who has been to Ireland 8 times is one of the most interesting and least visited places in Ireland. If you want peaceful, interesting and comfortable places - this is the place for you.
Beautiful home with amazing views! This home had everything needed for our party of four. The owners are the kindest people you will meet. We stayed for a week and we were quite sad to leave. A quiet area and a great place to renew yourself. We spent the week visiting historic sites, driving mountain passes, and even took a walk with alpacas!!

Simply perfect!!!
Hello Pat,
Hello Kay,
it was such a nice stay. We really enjoyed the time at your house. For those who are looking for a peacefull holiday we can recommend this beautiful place. Kay and Pat are such a caring hosts who fill the fridge with everything you need for the first day. It's simply amazing to have your breakfast on the terrace with the view on the sea. We could fill all the 2.000 characters to tell you how amazing it was at
5 Star Home, friendly locals and the best views on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Spent a week at Pallas Lodge with my family and I can highly recommend staying at Pat and Kay’s gorgeous home. Photos on website do not do justice to this wonderful home. It is spotlessly clean, spacious, equipped with everything you could ask for and icing on the cake was the warm welcome from Pat and all the ingredients for an Irish fry in the fridge! Scenery in the area and along the Ring of Beara is without doubt the best I’ve seen in Ireland and is dotted with cute villages and friendly locals. Take note, roads are not for the faint hearted but the beauty around each twist and turn makes the journey very worthwhile. Sample the fresh cod with a pint of gorgeous Guinness at Helen’s on the Pier or the carrot cake and coffee at Dzogchen Beara while contemplating the meaning of life! All in all a 5 star trip with 5 star accommodation. ❤️

Superb!
My friends and I have just returned from a glorious weeks holiday in this superb property. The lovely owners Pat & Kay could not have been more helpful or welcoming, they were there to greet us on our arrival having provided us with excellent directions from Cork airport. The area is breathtaking and beyond simple words, suffice to say pay a visit and see the beauty for yourself. I cannot praise the area or this wonderful property enough. The pictures on the site pale into insignificance when you see this property in real time, it has everything you could wish for and then some, wonderful setting and a well maintained house which has a great ambience, a real home from home, with very caring and generous hosts. The people of Cork have big warm welcoming hearts and we were made very welcome. Pat & Kay spent time telling us about the local attractions and had plenty of literature on hand for our perusal. The local shop has a good selection of food stuffs but we took the lovely drive to Castletonbere to the Valu supermarket which had everything you could wish for, while there we enjoyed an excellent lunch of seafood at Murphy's highly recommended especially the mussels. The Atlantic Way bar in Kenmare has the best fish and chips ever and if you fancy a romantic evening then certainly go to Josie's restaurant just past the turn for Lauragh fresh home grown and delicious food with a superb hostess, and fabulous views.
I cannot recommend this Lodge highly enough to do it justice Unyou just have to go and see for yourselves. Wonderful!!
Thank you Pat & Kay for a truly unforgettable holiday. Hope to visit again with my husband and family next time.

Très beau séjour dans la magnifique maison de Kay et Pat ! Nous avons été très gentiment accueillis par nos hôtes, et nous avons adoré notre séjour. La maison était très agréable, très confortable (cuisine équipée, très bonne literie, etc.), avec une vue incroyable sur l'océan, et le jardin superbe. Tout était encore plus beau que sur les photos ! La localisation était parfaite pour explorer la péninsule de Beara. Nos trois jeunes enfants se sont sentis comme chez eux et nous aussi. Merci Kay et Pat !
Die Gastgeber waren überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Bei unserer Ankunft am frühen Abend war schon der Kühlschrank gefüllt für Abendessen und Frühstück! Der Garten ist groß und sehr schön und liebevoll gestaltet. Ideal auch für Familie mit Kindern! Die Heizung hat super und schnell funktioniert und ebenso problemlos der offene Kamin!Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
Wunderbares geräumiges Haus mit Garten, liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber sind supernett und zuvorkommend.
Hervorragende Unterkunft am Ring of Beara.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in Pallas Lodge sehr genossen. Das Haus ist hell und hat viele gemütliche Aufenthaltsmöglichkeiten. Es ist sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, mit einem tollen Garten und einer fabelhaften Aussicht. Die Gastgeber sind überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sogar für das erste Abendessen und Frühstück war gesorgt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder sehr gerne hier herkommen.
Die sehr schöne Beara Halbinsel ist von hier aus gut zu erkunden.
Semaine parfaite fin mai début juin 2023
Pallas lodge est vraiment une maison située dans un endroit exceptionnel. Les propriétaires, Kay et Pat, sont des gens vraiment charmants. Rien ne manque dans cette maison. Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable et profité au maximum du très beau temps que nous avons eu pour découvrir la péninsule de Beara. Les Irlandais sont des gens vraiment accueillants.
Perfect week end of May beginning of June 2023
Pallas lodge is really a house located in an exceptional place. The owners, Kay and Pat, are really lovely people. Nothing is missing in this house. We spent a very pleasant week and made the most of the very good weather we had to discover the Beara peninsula. The Irish are really hospitable people.
Ein tolles Haus an einem wunderschönen Ort, direkt am Ring of Beara, sehr großzügig und trotzdem gemütlich. Pat hat uns persönlich und warmherzig empfangen und auch verabschiedet, hatte sehr gute Karten der Umgebung und gute Tips. Das Haus ist ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht; die Küche ist mit Grundnahrungsmitteln bestückt, die wir alle nehmen durften, ebenso wie die Kräuter und Kartoffeln aus dem Garten. Vielen Dank, Pat und Kay, für die tolle Woche!
