Great hostess and owner. Really personable and great breakfast the next morning! Would highly recommend as close to the ring of Carrie and some braid advice from the owner!

I was met right away to check in. The clerk was most helpful with getting my bags up to my room.
The bar downstairs gave me an opportunity to chat with the friendly locals. I had roasted chicken with mashed and vegitables for dinner. The meal was delicious and fulfilling. It was an enjoyable overnight stay.

We loved our stay here! The Staff was the friendliest we crossed paths with during our entire trip! WHICH says so much because Irish people are all so kind and generous!
Thank you Anvil Bar!

This was a great place to stay for the night after capping off a couple days in Dingle with the Slea Head Drive. It was a comfortable room with friendly service and a delicious breakfast included.

Although clean and adequate, this pub is in need of investment by way of new bedroom furniture. The old style pine is well past its prime. We stayed here as part of our Wild Atlantic Way road trip. Dinner and breakfast was ok and that you would expect for the price you pay....

Delightful stay! A+
Absolutely wonderful stay for our family. We were greeted with such warm hospitality and that continued through every minute of our stay. The charming bar/dining room and bedrooms/bathrooms were sparkling clean. The food and drink were great. While lively ( in a great way) during the day, the evenings were quiet and relaxing and the beds were very comfortable. The owner/hostess went above and beyond, providing a take-away sandwich for our horribly early departure, setting up a spectacular day of exploration of the area complete with a hand drawn map and customized tips that made it perfect for the four of us (including two teens) — we discovered so much more about the gorgeous area thanks to her.
A+ stay. 5 Stars. Thank you!
