    Nothing to dislike.

    Gorgeous view, even when overcast. Dermot was precious and made our stay very memorable with great advice on things to visit both in town and on our way out, helping with our bags, and he even got us some cold water for the road. Great location super close to town without being in the middle of town center. This was our first B&B experience and it was wonderful!

    We walked into town every night and back. No driving especially after going to to Dingle pub. Lovely garden quiet rooms

    I cannot say enough good things. Dermot called me back and said he had a room that wasn’t ready but if I didn’t mind we could have that room for 1 night and then he would switch us to a bigger room the next night. It was quiet and the view spectacular. The breakfast was simple but high quality and fresh. Hot croissant and fresh berries with freshly squeezed orange juice. Dermot and his son Jak made us feel like we were the cousins from Canada that had just showed up. Irish love❤️

    I was attending a wedding nearby and to make things easier for myself Dermot called down and gave me my room key and took my bag to put in my room. Very accommodating and went above and beyond. The room itself was very comfortable and clean with an amazing view of the harbour. Would 100% recommend.

    Dermot was a wonderful host. He was very kind and thoughtful; we had a great time chatting with him at breakfast each day. The continental breakfast was very nice- the fresh orange juice and croissants were a great treat! The B&B itself was really lovely, was very peaceful and in a quiet area with a nice view over the bay. We had a good sized room and comfortable beds. Overall we had an excellent experience and I would highly recommend staying for anyone going to Dingle.

    Lack of view, as only skylight window. Room much too hot overnight. Poor selection of tea. No biscuits. We didn't have breakfast, as felt 15 euros per person was a bit expensive.

    Lovely spacious room. Good sized bathroom. Very charming host. Very helpful.

    Dermot was especially helpful with my reservation when I wanted to extend my stay by a day. While at the B&B he shared a wealth of information from restaurants to routes. The location was perfect - convenient to walk to town for dinner and drinks, but quiet for a good night's sleep.

    Dermot Lynch, the owner of the Lighthouse, went over and above to ensure that our stay in Dingle, and the surrounding peninsula, was outstanding. He went out of his way to explain the highlights of the area, recommend restaurants and offer his insights into the must see areas of his beautiful county. His Irish charm was heartwarming.

    Dermot Lynch is a fantastic host, full of helpful tips on the area - where to eat, entertainment, events. The guesthouse itself is perfectly situated on a bluff looking down to Dingle Bay; the house is lovely, clean with modern fixtures and comfortable beds; I loved sitting in the reading room and reading in the sitting room.
