“A delightful, comfortable place a stones throw from Dingle.”

We stayed several nights at Killfountain and wished we could have stayed more. The owners are wonderful people, who make you feel right at home and really cater to your needs. We even were able to see the cows being brought in for their nightly milking. The farm is really close to Dingle. One can walk into town, or choose to drive the short distance. We brought our 6 month son along and the owners went out of there way to accommodate our needs. If ever we find ourselves in Dingle, we will always stay with the Lynch's at Killfountain.

“very homely”

i have stayed here on 2 seperate occasions, once with friends and theother with my mum and brother, both times were for 1 night and its the best value for money u will find. its a farmhouse about 2 miles from dingle on the slea head side, its run by the woman of the house and her farmer husband and if u want to get a glimpse of a traditional isish couple this is the place. there are only a couple rooms both times i stayed in a triple room with ensuite nice and clean but if u are looking for modern and minimalist its not the place for you, but where else for 30euro a night would u get a full irish fry in the morning and an electric blanket( all beds didnt have one but my mum had one in her bed which we had never seen before in any accommodation).the lady of the house is great fun as is her hubby who we met outside tending the farm lilly the little dog is a beauty too and adds to the charm. we love it there, its just like going home to your moms house , and we met some americans there who were leaving as we arrived and they said it was their highlight of their irish holiday.

“Wonderful, peaceful visit on the farm.”

My wife and I spent three lovely nights at the Killfountain Farmhouse just outside of Dingle. We arrived later then we were expected, but that wasn't a problem for the Lynch family. Our room was very nice, bright and very modern. The farm is only a 25 minute walk or a 5 minute drive to the centre of Dingle. Careful walking, as the roads are quite narrow and have hedge rows in places.
You can get a full Irish breakfast if you like, but my wife and I are lighter eaters than that. There was always fruit, cheese, cereals, coffee, tea, etc.
We found out on our last day that Mrs. Lynch had passed away last Easter time, and she used to run the B&B part of the farm. Ana, one of the daughters was running it now. Ana had been away at a wedding during most of our visit, so her brother was looking after us. He did a terrific job at suggesting places to go, and where to eat. His tip for the Connor Pass as part of our departure route was bang on.
As I like old tractors, I had a nice discussion with Mr. Lynch about some of the tractors he has owned in his career as a farmer.
It is a very homey B&B and I wish all of the best to Ana for keeping it going. Although, she has a family to raise and it is putting a strain on her as far as that goes. None the less, you will be well attended while staying at Killfountain.

  • Liked — That it was an honest to goodness working farm.
  • Disliked — Nothing.

“WONDERFUL Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2006

We were housesitting for friends in Cork, and went up to Dingle at the last minute (when there looked to be a clear day--it was, after all, the end of October! :>) We had found Killfountain Farm in the 2006 Irish Farmhouse Holidays booklet we bought at the Kinsale TI office. When we arrived in Dingle, we went on through out the west end, turned right onto R559 and found the farm; signs were excellent.

Mrs. Lynch, the wife, was home, and she had all rooms available (there are actually 6, most en suite), given the time of year, athough she was fully booked the coming bank holiday weekend. We were greeted by Lily, the cutest rough-coated Jack Russell Terrier in the world--beware, as she does jump up on people.

This is a working dairy farm, and as I'm a great animal lover, I was in heaven! The farm is about 200 years old, and has always been in this family's hands. Mr. & Mrs. Lynch are older, and helped by their son.

The room was very comfortable--overlooking the milking barns and yard. There is central heating, and we were quite toasty. Our en suite bathroom was quite nice and modern.

We had a full Irish breakfast, and were also given an afternoon tea tray.

This is the most wonderful family! I was welcomed not only to watch the milking, but to help with it! What a fantastic experience! Both Fionnan, the son, and Mr. Lynch were so very patient with all my questions and in teaching me (and I'm in my mid-50's!). As if Dingle weren't special enough by itself, staying on Killfountain Farm and working with these wonderful people for even those two days made those days the most special time imaginable of our two-week trip.

Families with children would LOVE this farm--I was told that all children want to take Lily home with them! :>) (So did I!)

  • Liked — Wanted a working farm
  • Disliked — Can't think of anything--it was all around a wonderful experience, and we'll go back!
  • Tips/Secrets — If you want to help with the milking, stop in town (Moriarty's--smallish place down from the TI office) and get some Wellies. Or bring some shoes you don't care much about! :>) Hey, it's a farm. Cows poop.
