“Great B&B with amazing views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

We stayed at the Greenmount House for 3 nights in September. The room was spacious including a king sized bed, mini fridge, desk and chairs for enjoying the view of Dingle Harbor. We did the upgrade to a Harbor View room and were very happy we did. The bathroom was large and very modern. Breakfast was included in the rate and very good. The breakfast room overlooks the town. It is a downhill walk into town and uphill on the way back but a pleasant walk. This was the nicest B&B we stayed in while touring Ireland. If you want to splurge I think this is a great spot to do so.

Stayed September 2011, travelled as a couple

“Luxury accommodation on the Dingle Peninsula”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I had planned a tour of the Dingle peninsula for a while so started checking out B&B reviews on here. It's been 10 years since I'd taken a B&B in the area and the prices have gone up a little in that time. Most places were about 70euro for a double room for the night. I chose this B&B as many others in the top 10 ranking on Tripadvisor were closed in January. It appears many B&Bs take January and February off. I suppose it is the "quiet" season, but our B&B had 4 other couples (some American, some European) that I saw, and at least 8 cars in the car park to the rear. So they seemed to be able to justify being opened in this wintery season.
The property looks like a new build. It's immaculate and huge. I would guess that they must have at least 10 rooms. The community areas like the lounge etc were very comfortable and had plenty of books to peruse. The views from the south facing house have stunning views out over the sea. This property is not more than a 5 minute walk into the centre of Dingle town, however the property is slightly higher than the town which gives great views. The walk is only a gentle hill though, so no big strain needed. The room accommodation was fabulous. Better than many 4 star hotels I have been in. Coffee and Tea making facilities, very good size room, and very comfortable king bed. The bathroom was also large and looked immaculate. Very clean, nicely tiled, and good size shower. The water took a while to heat up in the morning (left shower running) and never got scorching hot, just hot. It was ok though. The breakfast is where this B&B pushes itself way ahead of the competition. It was divine. An excellent selection of buffet cereals, yoghurt, scones, muffins etc, and then a server to take your cooked breakfast order. They could meet any requests from full Irish, to omelettes to scrambled or poached etc. The Poached eggs were perfectly done. The toast was excellent quality soda bread or wholemeal etc, not just sliced from a packet. To my discredit I was mildly hungover so didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked. I would actually be thinking about the breakfast if I stayed there again and would limit my drinking the night before. thats how good it was. The breakfast is served in a glass conservatory with tiled floors and a nice bright view out over the water. perfect.
John (the owner) was very nice but not intrusive and I felt comfortable he would meet any requests he could to ensure your stay was great. I imagine they will be full almost every night during peak season, but I would certainly try and stay here again. You may find a B&B for 10euro cheaper, but you won't find the luxury room, and amazing breakfast on offer. Well worth it.

Room Tip: I'm sure you could ask for a south facing room if you wished. It was not a conern for us as it w...

“The Best Place to Stay in Dingle! Location plus everything else!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Location. Location. Location...and everything else as well! I recommend highly!

I would stay here again in a heartbeat! It is a very short four-minute walk down the street into the main pub area of town without having to deal with the noise and crowds on the main street.

Beautiful room with Views overlooking Dingle Bay. (but our first floor was also looking onto the small front parking area which had privacy issues) Quiet. Very Clean. Very Comfy, Cozy, Homey. Bathroom with separate shower and tube was fantastic!

New beds. Mattresses were extremely comfortable with upscale linens, pillows and bedding.

John and Mary were beautiful hosts and lovely people. They've been doing this B&B for many years and they've pretty much got the whole thing perfected! They are very helpful with directions and recommendations. The drive around the Dingle Peninsula was stunning!

Mary puts on a breakfast spread "to die for".
***Must have Mary's pancakes!! Best I've ever had!

They were hit with lightening and their wi-fi was only working in part of the B&B. (in the breakfast area) John said they were working on getting it fixed.

“A great place to stay in Dingle”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We took a weekend away to Dingle and stayed in the Greenmount House on the recommendation of a friend. Best travel tip in a long time! The Greenmount certainly falls into the more expensive end of B&B accommodation in Dingle but it is excellent value for money considering the quality of the service and rooms.

The location is very good - it's not in the town but a short 5-10 min walk will get you to most parts of Dingle town and the main attractions. Plenty of parking at the House and it's close to the main road to Tralee (N86). By the way, if you want a real treat take the long way around from Tralee via the Connor Pass - stunning drive!

We stayed in a room called the "Connor Pass" (upstairs rear). No views but a really large room with an equally large ensuite (separate shower and bath). The room was well appointed, comfy bed and with the kind of trimmings that you expect in a hotel. Only negative, if I was to be overly critical, was that the TV system was pretty poor - but, hey, you're in Dingle!

And now for the breakfasts - amazing! The view from the Breakfast Room across the town and bay is beautiful and the food delicious. Good selection of options - including the traditional Irish breakfast - along with fruits, juices and cakes. Yes, cake for breakfast! The staff and proprietor (always around at breakfast) were very courteous and friendly.

Overall, this is easily the best B&b lodging that if have ever had the pleasure in staying in. Would highly recommend it.

You never seem to be guaranteed good weather in the south west and if you are travelling by car and it's raining - don't stay in. The Slea Head Drive (signposted) to the west of Dingle is an amazing trip and easily done in a day. Spectacular views of the sea and mountains.

Room Tip: Rooms at the front have great views but are more expensive.
