One night stay, slept and had meal.
1-night trip

10/10

We were on a first Ireland trip and just basic ideas what to see. Liz was a big help in planning our explorations. The location is great for exploring Kerry and Dingle peninsula’s. The room we had was spacious. Meals were great too.
2-night trip

8/10

Nice little B&B, the only issue was that it’s not air conditioned, nor did it have a fan so it was pretty warm in the room. Liz was very sweet and gave us some good advice for our drive.

We loved this place. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the food was spectacular and the bed comfortable. The location is right on the road, so there is some road noise, but not enough to disturb my sleep. We would certainly stay here again!

A solid B&B, very clean. Very quiet despite the bar on ground floor. The restaurant on the ground floor had great food. The owner was very friendly and provided great tips on places to visit on Dingle peninsula.

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.

This was the perfect place for visiting Killarney and Dingle. The owner Liz was extremely kind and friendly, she gave us local recommendations and told us the most wonderful stories. The room was extremely clean and well kept, restaurant has fantastic food options and bar is lively at night. Peaceful area but only 15 minutes to Dingle and 30 mins to Killarney!

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....
