Brilliant place

Really nice place in walking distance to pubs & restaurants of Dingle. Great breakfast with a lot of different options especially for vegetarians. The room had one of the best shower I've ever had at hotel / Guesthouse Over all the place is very well maintained & feels like it has been renovated recently. Plenty of free parking on site too. Would highly recommend!

Staff was accommodating and very friendly. Kevin, Steven and all were helpful. Breakfast was very convenient and was on par with other places we stayed. Actually better as it was made for us and didn’t come out of a chafing dish. So it was hot and delicious.

When we arrived it felt as if we were home again. The genuine welcome, the warm smile and the great conversation started at checkin. We were immediately familiarized with the area, personally shown to our room and shown the hotel features along the way. We only stayed one night but regretted we hadn’t booked for more. Steve our host was witty, kind, helpful and oh so representative of the well known Irish hospitality! The room was so clean, the bathroom so modern, nothing amiss with the stay at all. The breakfast was so good before we left. We will definitely go back again
