Homestays in County Kerry, Ireland

Thérèse & Maurice were great hosts. Superb location right on the quay with free public parking in the front. The pubs and restaurants just a few steps away. While the house is a historical building from 1850s - former horse stables - the room was clean and comfortable and breakfast freshly cooked and delicious with many options other than the traditional Irish breakfast:)

The tea/coffee with cakes upon arrival are a welcoming hug as you enter this charming home with views that are like a postcard. Phil meets you with her warm Irish smile and directs you to your well kept, comfortable room. We stayed downstairs in room 6. My family was in room 7 which is like a suite Micheal helps with the luggage with a joke or two and a kind sense of humor. Upon awakening you head toward the smells of fresh brewed coffee and breakfast to trump most all breakfasts in taste. I can say they made the one of the most delicious eggs Benedict’s in my history. Just around the corner is a pub and a walk along the magnificent cliffs. Phil lets you know all the things to do and how to get there. I loved my quiet time in the sitting room sipping coffee or Jameson and soaking in the views of the Atlantic, with sheep and ponies dotting the breathtaking landscape. Thank you Phil and Bernie for taking such good care of us.

This B&B is in the heart of Dingle. You come out of the front straight onto the seafront, and it has gorgeous views. We had a family room for 5 people - one of the reasons we chose it - and it was a good sized room. The staff were really friendly, and the rooms were very clean. A highlight was the breakfast! Full Irish (buffet) with continental (also buffet) plus cold meats/ cheese and smoked salmon. Yoghurt with a range of seeds, muesli and cereals, fresh fruit. And the option of fresh cooked porridge or waffles. All absolutely delicious! We all had a great stay - thank you!

Very nice accommodation. A nice older lady welcomed us very warmly. The room wasn't big but comfortable. With coffee and biscuits. The bathroom was modern and clean, big shower. The breakfast room was very well maintained and beautifully set. You could say what you wanted to eat. There was also cereal, yogurt, fresh berries and fruit.

PROS: Exceptionally clean. Everything seemed relatively new. Beautifully quiet. Nice warm room. Bedding, décor, and furnishings were all quite nice and well selected. CONS: No lounge or living room type common area for guests to sit comfortably with only one basic office chair provided in the room. Quite simply, it was too sp****ly furnished and appointed. Wi-fi was very sketchy (despite numerous reboots) and even stopped working completely for quite some time. The owner since claimed to have “super fast Wi-Fi” and that we should have addressed Wi-fi issues on-site, but we had no idea how to find the proprietor once he handed us the room keys and then basically disappeared for the duration of our stay (behind one of the closed doors on the property?). In short, we could not address the Wi-fi issues as he suggested. There were no TV’s in the entire property, which the owner stated was done on purpose to provide a “quiet and peaceful experience”. That seems nice enough, but without reliable working Wi-fi, the property became an isolated entrapment while we stared at the walls for several hours. A tomb is a “quiet and peaceful experience”, but that doesn’t necessarily make it pleasant. By normal Irish standards for hotels, 4:30 pm check-in and 10:30 am check-out times were quite late and early respectively, which is not common for Ireland as the owner subsequently claimed. We stayed in more than 30 hotels in Ireland and not one of them provided so little overall time. The typical turnaround from check-in to check-out (in all of 2100 miles we traveled around Ireland) was about an hour longer, one way or another. Responding to this, the owner quite rudely wrote (his quote) that we “would need to familiarise yourself with the basics before travelling somewhere”. To that, I can only say we are traveling 110 days this year in 16 different countries and have traveled to about 40 countries before. We plan our journeys exhaustively. I suggest rather than provide insulting remarks about our travel abilities, which are highly tuned and time-tested, perhaps this property’s management should listen to useful customer input about things which were not customary and inferior to competitors. Breakfast was an additional charge which rather goes against the ENTIRE notion of calling oneself a B&B. In retrospect, on closer examination, I concede the advertised rates for the property apparently included a non-breakfast option, but it’s important to note that is not always completely obvious when viewing typical hotel booking sites. Addressing this, the owner wrote that “it looks like you had no idea what you were booking and were not looking at the location or anything at that time”. Overlooking the blatant rudeness of that comment, our situation was actually quite the contrary, and we were keenly familiar with the location, having already spent a total of 25 days traversing the entire west coast of Ireland throughout both rural and urban areas before

We stayed this past weekend for a hen party and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We were a group of 37 so alot of people to accommodate. Maura and team in the booking office were so helpful and accommodating in organising our group into the dorm and also double and triple rooms, and were on hand to adjust numbers as we went along, and answer any queries we had with such wonderful attitudes. We did activities in the bar which was beautifully decorated, and had custom cocktail menus for our group - thanks to Sean who was our barman and sorted all those details with us in advance. There is a lovely night porter if you fancy a nightcap which we did (sorry we didn't catch your name). Breakfast was delicious, well recieved by the whole group - nothing like a full Irish after a busy day and night. I would 100% recommend it for any group, the whole process was so easy. I would also recommend to anyone wanting to visit Dingle - the rooms are clean and modern, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the location is great.

Really great accommodation a short walk from the centre of town. Room was lovely. Great comfortable double bed, plenty of storage, huge bathroom with shower etc and had shower gels/shampoo etc for guests. Room cleaned each day with towels etc replaced and free water provided. WiFi was free and great speed anywhere in the house. Free unreserved parking outside the front door.
