The breakfast was great and the location was fantastic. The best part of this property was the staff, in particular Skye at Dingle Harbor Lodge. She was extremely helpful and pleasant.

Lovely waterfront location, very walkable. Angela is a pleasure. The building is older and nicely renovated, but with the older building the plumbing was a bit loud. Enjoyed our stay.
