“Amazing place, we'll be back”

This is just a fabulous place to stay in Dingle. It's wonderful. Beautiful rooms and great food. there is a huge choice on the breakfast menu and the evening meals are to die for. The food looks so good on the plate that we took a photo of it. The couple that run this 6 Star guesthouse are really lovely and warm. We had a great time and will be back very very soon.

“This hotel is amazing.. can't wait to go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

We stayed for two nights at Heaton's and it was absolutely stunning. The room was spotless and luxurious, overlooking the bay. Heaton's was like a home from home (in a good way.)
Breakfast was something else - with Cameron's special porridge with sugar, cream and alcohol that properly sets you up for the day. It feels more like a hotel than a B&B in terms of the level of service and it seems to be a truly family business, with the couple's son working as chef, for example.The bathroom was great. The hotel is ideally located if you want to tour the peninsula (which we did, visiting the place where Ryan's Daughter was filmed.)
The town itself has a good choice of pubs and restaurants which are all within walking distance. We only had breakfast at Heaton's but it was delicious.

“Excellent Guesthouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed three nights at Heaton's in a superior room with breakfast and two evening meals. The food is fabulous! a wonderful chef who I believe is the owners son. Both Cameron and Nulla the owners are very warm friendly people. A great location in Dingle you have a wonderful view of Dingle Bay and still within walking distance to the pubs at night. I understand they are closing during the winter for renovations. This is one of the best guesthouses we have ever stayed in and I only wish there were more like it in Ireland. Well done to everyone in the house. We will be back in 2012.

Room Tip: All rooms would be great

“Lovely Dingle”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

We stayed two nights at Heaton's. They had a special two night stay in a junior suite with breakfast both days and a special dinner one night. The food is fabulous! They have a wonderful chef. Also, it's a great location in Dingle because you get a great view of Dingle Bay and still in walking distance to the pubs at night.

I understand they are closing during the winter for renovations. A little updating will make the interiors even better, I suspect. We had a very nice updated bath with jetted tub, separate shower, etc.

Room Tip: I think I'd select an upstairs room facing the bay for the best view of Dingle Bay. Be sure to h...

“Everything Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

This was the best B&B during our 12 day stay in Ireland. It does NOT cater to large tour groups so your stay is personal to the owner. The location is beautiful and is close to town. The restaurant is excellent. Unfortunately, the guesthouse and restaurant will be closing from October 2011 to April 2012 for renovation of the guesthouse and expansion of the restaurant.
