Claim this listingStaying in Kells
A small fishing hamlet on the Ring of Kerry, home to a Blue Flag beach, not to be confused with the historic town of Kells in Co. Meath.
This Kells is a tiny settlement on the N70 Ring of Kerry road on the Iveragh Peninsula, roughly midway between Glenbeigh and Cahersiveen, with views across Dingle Bay to the Blasket Islands. It's a quiet spot rather than a destination town, best known locally for its Blue Flag beach, a small sheltered strand of fine sand and rock pools with a working harbour at one end.
A B&B here suits travellers doing the Ring of Kerry at their own pace who want a peaceful stopover on the peninsula's north coast, rather than a base with its own list of things to do. Kells Bay Gardens, a Victorian estate with sub-tropical planting and a rope Skywalk through the ferns, is the one notable attraction nearby.

Booking Taobh Coille direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Taobh Coille holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
