Teach de Broc

There’s more to see on the Wild Atlantic Way than anyone can fit into a single road trip, and an overwhelming number of charming family-run inns to stay at along the way. Teach de Broc, in the southwest, stands out for its location — this boutique guesthouse is set amid scenic sand dunes beside the entrance to the famous Ballybunion Golf Club in County Kerry, a five-minute stroll from the beach — and for its elevated style and service.

Rooms are simple but elegant, with polished wood furnishings, earth-toned decor, fresh floral arrangements, and modern bathrooms with walk-in showers. All have views over the rolling green landscapes of the golf course, and breakfast starts early to accommodate guests with early tee times. The hotel has plenty of amenities for golfers, including a dedicated locker room and storage area, though Teach de Broc is equally convenient for outings to nearby caves, cliff walks, and beaches. As the sun goes down, the hotel’s stylish bistro and wine bar is a lively gathering spot, offering gourmet takes on Irish classics.
