This B&B is fantastically comfortable, affordable and has GREAT customer relations. My girlfriend and I felt very welcomed and our room was incredible. Great location, great breakfast (we had to take an early bus and missed the 2nd breakfast but they backed us up some fruit and muffins!) Great stay! More

This was our 4th time visiting Dingle and it was the best time because we stayed at The Lantern Townhouse on Main Street. We were there for 3 glorious days, March 16th, 17th, and 18th, for St. Patrick's Day and the Dingle Film Festival. The owners Katherine and Thomas made us feel welcome and were very helpful. The breakfasts were... More

The location of the Lantern Townhouse was absolutely perfect - in the center of it all! The family that owns it is so great!!! While checking in, without me asking, they recommended some of the best restaurants and pubs to visit for the night. We did as they suggested (dinner at Doyles and the pub right down the street), and... More

Katherine and Thomas were gracious hosts. We had a lovely room overlooking the street, which in any other town might not have been so pleasant, but everything is just so pretty in Ireland, especially Dingle! Breakfast was good, although different from the other B & B's we stayed in, it was still good. We had Belgian waffles, a welcome treat!... More

The Lantern Townhouse is located in the city centre (which is a plus). If you're by car, there is a free parking just in front of it. The location is nice, but nothing exceptional. The room we had was quite nice, on the first floor. It was renovated as for the furniture, but the bathroom is still old (I personally... More

This is a super accommodation in the heart of Dingle! 4.5/5 I was looking for good value accommodation, as we were on a tight budget, whilst still having a nice place to stay. We were staying in hostels on the two previous nights to our one night stay in the Lantern & decided to spend a little extra (though not... More

Dingle is my favorite location in all of Ireland, so--the Lantern Townhouse is located on Main Street in Dingle Town...perfect! Everything is close by, pubs, shops, rooms are lovely and Katherine and Thomas are wonderful hosts, such a beautiful couple.

Thank you, Katharine and Thomas, for a wonderful stay! My husband and I just spent 2 nights at the Lantern and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our room was very quiet and I appreciated small touches like electric tea kettle, mirrors outside of the bathroom, and a nice hair dryer. Breakfast (assortment of cereals, bread, gourmet cheese, ham) AND a cooked to... More
