“A perfect stay on a real Irish farm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Killfountain Farm is the ideal place to stay if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing accomodation. The farm is located just a few kilometres outside of the vivid town of Dingle and can be easily reached by car, bike and even by foot, if you're not in a hurry (there is a beautiful shortcut through the fields, which the owner will be glad to show you).
My room was spacious and well-equipped with everything I needed. The freshly-prepared Irish breakfast was tasty and rich.
The Lynch family, who runs the farm and B&B are helpful, open and friendly people. All members of the family did their best to make my stay as comfortable as possible. They gave me a lift to town whenever I needed it and even drove me to some sightseeing in the region (ask for the "Killfountain Stone"...). I really enjoyed my stay with the Lynch family and felt very welcome and home on their farm.
I would suggest Killfountain Farm especially for families: It is a real, working farm and the kids will have a lot of fun with the cattle or playing with the dogs.

“Spartan but friendly enough”

The room we had was incredibly basic: no home comforts, no TV, no hairdryer, no clock, nocoffee/tea making facilities, not even a toothmug or bar of soap. Linen and towels were very old, mis-matched and worn. Furniture shabby. Flying insects throughout the farmhouse. Definitely nothing to write home about and could not recommend it.

“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.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2007

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.
