10/10 Excellent
"I had the pleasure to stay at this quaint little B & B last night and I would definitely visit again! The hosts were extremely helpful and the room that I had was perfect for me but also would have been great if my husband was traveling with me too. The location was absolutely perfect for an easy walk to dinner followed by an ice cream and a walk along the water front before dinner. The property is 170 years old and it was fabulous!"

"I can't express how wonderful our stay here was. The airline lost my daughter's luggage and we asked the hostess if there was anywhere around that we could go and pick up essentials. She took great detail explaining the area and our options. It didn't end there. As she lived close to the property, she went the extra mile to go home and brought back a bag of clothes for my daughter. This was so appreciated as the coat was in her luggage and she was able to wear the donated coat for the remainder of our trip. I cannot express enough how wonderful this experience was and would 100% recommend a stay here. Thank you for everything."

"First room we were given was in the old part of the hotel and it was small and in need of modernisation. We were disappointed as we’d paid €586 for 2 nights B&B for our wedding anniversary and it didn’t justify the price. However after speaking to reception we were given a much bigger junior suite room for our 2nd night which we were happier with. The restaurant food was very good for dinner and the waiting staff were great. Great views of Dingle Bay from the modern restaurant. 10min walk into Dingle which was a great place to explore."
