“Clean and central but not great”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

The B&B is close enough to the village to walk to anything. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Parking was on-street and free but there was no problem finding a spot. There was only a bare trickle of cold water in the sink and no hot water in the shower. The shower head was cracked and pieces broken off and it didn't sit properly on the frame. Breakfast was only so-so. I wouldn't stay there again. I've been to Dingle before and stayed in much nicer places for around the same price.

“Clean, welcoming, priced right, just perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2011

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here when we visited Dingle, and we can't say enough good things about this place! There is an immediate welcoming feeling, and the house is large enough that you have your privacy but small enough to have a cosy vibe. The beds are great, the rooms are a nice size and decorated nicely, and the breakfast is perfect - whether you want a full Irish fry or just some muesli and flaxseed, it's all there. Because it's small and obviously family run, everything is quite flexible too - the guest booklet says breakfast is between 8.30-9.30 but I showed up at 9:59 one rough morning and even a few after me and didn't seem to be a bother. Location is great, really close to the main street with restaurants, shops, bars, etc. Parking is a breeze at Boland's too compared to the rest of the B&Bs around. Also, the lady of the house gave us a discount for staying several nights, and even gave friends of ours a discount for deciding to stay a second night, which was really nice. Even after staying for 4 days, I'd have chosen this one out of all the rest, and I would stay again! So pleased! Great price, great sleep, great breakfasts, great stay!

Room Tip: Ring up for the best price!

“More than adequate”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

We had some trouble finding Upper Main St. in Dingle but once we got there we didn't have to drive again. It was not such a big hill...we enjoyed the little walk. We decided to take a tour the next day that cost 20E but it was well worth it. Can't remember the tour operator but it was from Rick Steve's book. It was nice not having to drive for a change. There was good traditional music in Murphy's pub. and some good shopping. Check out Dingle Chrystal very close to the hotel. The proprietor was very helpful.

“Couldnt fault it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2010

overall i found it a fantastic place to stay
it wasnt costly, in fact it was cheaper than most!
the staff were really nice and friendly and were so helpful
The rooms were spotless, and had obvioulsly been redecorated recently it was clear a lot of work been put into them, the bed was so comfy i struggled to get out of it!
the breakfast was delicious with beautiful home made brown bread.
There was the odd beep of a car and the slight hill up tp the b&b but overall i couldnt fault it! Excellent!
will definately be back!
