“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!

“Not worth the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2009

Although the room was nice and clean the price was high for the average accommodations and below average service. I don't think the owner even ever told me her name - it felt much more like a hotel than a B&B. The view of the Dingle Harbor was nice and it's not as far out of town as other reviews make it seem.

“It was just OK!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2008

It was at the top of a steep hill. The owner is friendly. The room was cold, with a tiny TV. The place needs redecorating and upgrading. Our breakfast was ok although the bacon was not freshly cooked. It had been cooked some time ago.

  • Liked — The owner was freindly
  • Disliked — The price and that it was cold.

“Worth the walk uphill...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2004
4
people found this review helpful

Bolands is a fairly average place to lay your head, in the context of what's average in Ireland, but that shouldn't be taken as criticism, as it's definitely a nice place to rest your weary bones after a day of trekking around the spectacular Dingle peninsula. What might just make it your best choice of lodgings, is the beautiful view. Ask for one of the upstairs rooms with a view when you book, and you won't be sorry. Boland's is located near the top of the hill in Dingle town, so if you leave for a pint or dinner, you'll be walking uphill afterwards, but believe me, it's worth every ounce of expended energy for that view. I'd stay there again anytime.
