Great Stay, Stunning View

Reviewed By 949rich

I stayed for one night while hiking the Dingle Way enr Mt. Brandon. Room had extra windows and felt extraordinarily spacious and airy. Great views of the mountains to the east. Owners were very kind and offered to take me to various trailheads to help reduce the burdens of hiking the next day. They drove me to a pub for dinner as well. Management professional and breakfast was great. I would go out of my way to stay here again.

Dingle Garden Townhouse

Thank you for considering our place. This is a beautiful property – a luxurious townhouse in a great location in Dingle town. There are 10 en-suite rooms in total – the rear of the building has 2 king size rooms which have harbour/ Garden views and 5 Superking rooms with views of the garden and some have views of the Harbour also & the 3 front rooms are large super-king rooms with street views and of Conor pass hills. All of the beds are really comfy! As well as beautiful bedrooms; a large light filled open plan living room opens out onto a patio area and a very large garden. The garden is enclosed by the original stone walls - creating a private space in the centre of town - and backs onto the Díseart chapel & grounds. Indeed the chapel's famous Harry Clarke windows overlook the bottom of the garden. We're always more than happy to give you any tips/ advice on places to see.

Sleek luxury in a perfect location for a visit to Dingle

Reviewed By Mary Beth E

Beautiful B&B in historic building with modern, sleek (but comfortable!) interior design. Perfect location- right at the edge of the fun stuff: pubs, shops, restaurants but just beyond the noise cone. Crisp sheets, large showers and a breakfast so bountiful it was hard to avoid being wasteful. Homemade scones and bread. Hosts are gracious and helpful. If you’re visiting Dingle, you should stay here!

What a great place. The room was huge for the area. King size bed which is hard to find. Bar underneath was great for dinner and a drink. There was no noise from the bar at all in the room. Perfect! The staff was amazing and friendly as well. Parking was easy to find on the street.

We truly had an amazing time at this lovely guest house and pub tucked into the Irish countryside. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff, especially Morris and Kat were the friendliest and most attentive we encountered on our trip. Morris was even thoughtful enough to arrange for my niece to bottle feed some of the lambs. The pub is small and intimate and dining area large and serving excellent food.

A special place

Reviewed By Mann1on

Amazing weekend in Dingle to run the half marathon and a large part of this was down to my stay at Harbour Nights. Kathleen couldn't have been more helpful despite been very busy and was so friendly and funny at all times. The room was great with a stunning view and location couldn't be better. Dingle is such an amazing town and this gem and Kathleen add to this special place. Looking forward to returning....with a running watch that charges this time :-)

The Moorings Portmagee

Nestled into the picturesque seafront of Portmagee, the Moorings Guesthouse overlooks the village's busy working harbour. Just a 30 second walk from the pier, where boats leave for the Skelligs every morning, and right at the heart of village life, there's simply nowhere more convenient to base yourself when you stay in Portmagee. Offering 16 rooms in total, the owners have created a calm and surprisingly luxurious ambience through the use of traditional yet contemporary furnishings with crisp, clean lines of soft ivory against vibrant reds. The Moorings strive to deliver personal, attentive service while matching the very best standards in efficiency and attention to detail that you've encountered elsewhere. Room facilities include direct-dial telephone, satellite TV, tea- and coffee-making facilities, iron and ironing board, ensuite marble bathroom with power shower, bath, hairdryer and Gilchrest & Soames toiletries. Complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access is available throughout the guesthouse and there is free car parking for guests. There's nothing more endearing than knowing that some of the Hollywood's biggest movie stars like Mark Hamill and Director J.J Abrams have visited the sleepy village of Portmagee, and even sat in the Bridge Bar local pub where Mark Hamill poured a pint of Guinness behind the bar. The Moorings was home to the pre-production team of the Star Wars VII movie and you can visit the room where all the magic took place and listen to the stories told by the staff. The Moorings is open all year round. Great food served all day with traditional music at weekends. Trips to Skellig Michael can be arranged and packages are available from April to September. Cois Cuain gift shop is open from March to January. The Moorings is located in a fishing village with a working harbour, post office, general store, coffee shop, bar, restaurant overlooking Valentia Island. The Moorings received a platinum award for green hospitality in 2013. They have introduced a 'Green' package which offers two nights B&B in The Moorings Guesthouse, a guide to a wildlife shore search and a special '30 mile' menu where all main ingredients are sourced within a 30 mile radius.

Comfy and cozy in a small town

Reviewed By sandiegoterp

The Moorings was a very cozy B&B. Its bar/restaurant served delicious food. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the beds are pretty hard. If not for that one issue, we’d give five stars.

Inveraray Farm

A vibrant and welcoming family-run B&B with exceptional views. Located approximately 10 km (10 min drive) from the popular tourist towns of Killarney and Killorglin, Inveraray Farm looks out over the Gap of Dunloe, MacGillycuddy's Reeks and the mountains of Killarney. Many of our rooms enjoy these mountain views with some also having their own, private entrances. Children can enjoy our outside play area while you can relax in the company of our farm animals and family pets.

Incredible views and lovely hosts!

Reviewed By 444safiyas

We visited Inveraray Farm for one night as part of a few nights in Killarney and it was the best bit of our trip. The views (pictured) from the terrace were breathtakingly beautiful, showing the gap of Dunloe. Jen and Fergal were really kind and helpful hosts, helping us get cash for the local bus and sending us on a lovely walk to a local waterfall. Plus the breakfast was great! Would really recommend staying here and Beaufort is a really nice spot which is easy to get into Killarney from and also right on the ring of Kerry.

This was our sixth time staying there. It's very beautifully decorated and the rooms are very large. It's a five minute walk to the center of town. Dawn the owner and Peggy and Susie who work for her are all great and go out of their way to help you. I can't recommend it enough. Tim and Dorie Florida
