Great location for exploring the Dingle peninsula. Hotel is a bit old and could use some updates, but it was clean and had a friendly staff so it served our purpose of having a comfortable place to stay where we could walk to restaurants and shops and drive the scenic drive around the peninsula.

The Waterfront is cute and conveniently located along the waterfront. Friendly staff with great recommendations nearby. Definitely try and visit Foxy John’s, Kennedy’s, or Dick Mack’s for a pint. And definitely drive the Slea Head loop.

Very nice little room

This location was great. We were across the street from the waterfront. The room was kind of small, but it had everything we needed and was in excellent condition.

I loved the complimentary Irish breakfast in the morning—they offered both a traditional and a vegan option. I’m not vegan, but I really enjoyed the vegan Irish breakfast as well. The Irish oatmeal with Bailey’s was such a delightful touch! I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Dingle.

This hotel is in a great location right on the harbor. The woman who met us and served breakfast to us was AWESOME. Had a lovely conversation with her at breakfast. And breakfast was great. That said, these positives could not over come the EXTREMELY TINY room we had. Our room had no view of the harbor, we could barely open the bathroom door because it hit the bed. Airplane bathrooms are bigger, and the shower was shoehorned into a closet. The staircase was so narrow it was difficult dragging out bags up the stairs. Ugghhh
