Hidden Gem! Spectacular!

Harbor House is magnificent. Surrounded by ocean, hillsides, and horses, this HH is a sanctuary like no other. Sandra and Robin and the entire team were wonderful and helped us with reservations and ideas. They have diving lessons and they have a young team of instructors who teach in the pool and then guide excursions. The full Irish breakfast was hearty and delicious and we loved the pool and decks and greeting the horses each morning. What an awe-inspiring place that sure speaks to the “smithy” of one’s soul.

We stayed here for one night walking the dingle end of season, the room offered everything we needed for that. Staff was friendly and we were able to check-in much earlier than anticipated, the food and the views in the area was nice. One big downside, the leisure center was felt like it was on top of our room which causes a lot of noise.

Off the beaten path room w/an ocean view

Harbor house was our favorite bed-and-breakfast along the Wild Atlantic Way. Being a Pisces and being on the water surrounded by horses alongside having the small town feel is what we love the most. We enjoyed a cool late afternoon/evening walk to a local pub where we enjoyed some local fare, Irish coffees, and mini Guinness 😄. The traditional breakfast was fantastic, accommodating our request to hold the white and black pudding. Staff were friendly and very communicative throughout the booking and reservation process.

I have just spent three nights here and can very highly recommend it. The location and facilities are really great. Sandra, her family and staff make you feel very welcome from the minute you check in.The room was great and the shower was strong and not a trickle like some places.There is a good selection for breakfast and ocean views from the dining room and most rooms.Next time I go back I would like to try the scuba diving taught in the pool there or surfing lessons just down the road. I had a really fantastic time and came out of there fully recharged.

No heat on a cold day, they can’t pay the oil bill

This place is in a very nice location. It’s a rather old building that’s been added onto over the years. Decor is a little dated and tired but overall it would have been comfortable except that we were freezing cold the entire time. We arrived around 3 pm to check in. I tried to turn the heat on in our room but nothing happened. With temps in the mid 40’s, we were uncomfortably cold in our room. I asked about the heat and in was told that it’s on a timer, it’s off all day and only turned on in the evening. She said she would turn it on since we were cold. We went for dinner, thinking the room would be warm by the time we were back. The radiators were still ice cold. Back to the front desk, she comes to look at it and calls the plumber. Are said he would be there in 30 minutes. Long and short is, they came to our room around 9 pm and brought us a little space heater. That took about another hour. So 7 hours after our arrival, we were finally comfortable in our room. The operator told me that it’s too expensive to pay the oil bill, so they don’t turn the heat on. We’re Irish, she said, it doesn’t bother us. So now I was feeling like she called me a stupid American on top of it. If you don’t mind being cold, this place will do. But we’re here tonight in another B&B, paying half as much and WAY more comfortable.

We're world travelers and have stayed in many hotels, but this hotel is a complete disaster. The building is run-down, and the public areas aren't clean. The carpet in the room is dirty. The pool is dirty from diving, full of hair, and it's no fun swimming during a training session. Outside the hotel only dirty. We booked and paid for the room, but left after two hours because it was so bad. The reception was nice. Never ever a 5-star hotel…

Die Unterkunft ist in schlechtem technischen Zustand. Die größte Enttäuschung war, dass statt der im Internet avisierten 5 Sterne max. 1-2 Sterne zu vertreten sind. Super Lage und immerhin eine relevante Herberge für die Dingle Way Wanderer. Das Restaurant in der Nähe (800 m) war excellent (Ruhetag beachten).

Ci capita spesso di scegliere una sistemazione con l'idea che più un posto è isolato, più alte sono le probabilità che sia un piccolo paradiso. Ciò detto, questo albergo ha risposto in pieno alle aspettative, pur non trovandosi in un luogo remoto (il paesino vicino con pub ristorante è a meno di un chilometro), la tranquillità è assoluta e l'espressione "immerso nella natura" è tutt'altro che retorica. Ci sentiamo assolutamente di raccomandarlo. Magari averlo a duecento chilometri da casa!
