Teach de Broc, Ballybunion, Co Kerry

Ballybunion has long been a popular seaside resort, welcoming visitors from near and far since the 19th century. And, since 1994, many have wisely chosen to stay at Teach de Broc, a luxuriously appointed and immaculately maintained modern guesthouse and restaurant located alongside Ballybunion Golf Course. Together with their sons Dermot and Cian, Aoife and Seamus Brock offer exceptional standards of comfort and all sorts of little extras at this deservedly popular guesthouse - and this ethos of quality and generosity is carried through to their quietly impressive Strollers Bistro restaurant, which is open to non-residents and has become a destination in itself for its pleasing ambience (helped along by live music), consistently good food and warmly professional service. Non-residents are also welcome for breakfast (with takeaway breakfasts available too, which is boon for early golfers just across the road) and, all round, this splendid – and fairly priced - family business is providing a terrific service for locals and visiting guests alike. A great example of family-run Irish accommodation, food and hospitality at its best.
