Mary Ireland

Stayed overnight travelling down the wild Atlantic way, facilities fantastic & lovely staff!

Stephanie United Kingdom

Great stay here, location is fantastic and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Dan Ireland

Location.. very central. Bathroom very clean and nice showers. Cozy rooms and friendly staff. I would recommend.

Leonardo Brazil

Exceptional b&b located ideally on the harbour of dingle. Immaculate. They have gone beyond what would have been expected as far as covid precautions are concerned. The hosts were just superb. We were made to feel right at home with such a warm welcome from the host. Delicious breakfast. Couldn’t ask for more! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Olivia United Kingdom

Located right in the town centre so perfect for us to walk to restaurants n shops, there's a cinema located next door also. There's parking right at the back of the hostel for €3 per day also. Great base for us to go and climb croughpatrick, which was only 10 minutes drive from the town.

Michelle United Kingdom

The staff are all absolutely brilliant and super helpful. Doing an absolutely stand out job of cleaning the hostel so they should all be super proud of themselves. Used to run a lodge so can't even imagine how much extra work adhering to covid regulations will add but they are really going out of their way to do so. Ended up staying another night because it's so chill and lovely in the perfect location to Westport house and not far cycle to Croagh Patrick. Actually kinda wanna live here, thank you all so much!

Maya Ireland

Was very good in every way the only down fall was the thiness of the walls, you can hear everything, even snoring.

Linda Ireland

The location was brilliant. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
