“Like staying with Extended Family!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at Moriarty's Farm house for several days in September, and consider the time to be a highlight of our trip! From teh moment we arrived, we were greeted with Fresh baked scones and tea in teh sitting room. We conversed with Ted and Brede about the history of the area, things to do, etc.

Our room was simple, but very clean and pleasant with a beautiful view out over the landscape to the water beyond.

Breakfast was a real treat, as we got to meet several other travellers who were staying there.

The entire stay was very tranquile and relazxed, just as it should be!!!

“Tranquil and comfortable”

I was planning to stay here only one night, but ended up staying longer, partly because Dingle is such a wonderful place to explore and partly because Moriarty's Farmhouse is such a nice place to stay.
I only booked the morning before I would arrive, and Moriarty's Farmhouse was the fifth place I called on the Dingle peninsula. I'm glad now that the other places didn't have any space!
I arrived very late, after underestimating the time it would take to drive to Dingle. The last bit of road on the peninsula is even more twisty than most other roads in Ireland, so it takes a while. The B&B itself is easy to find, a little way from Dingle town itself, but well signposted. Even though I was so late, Ted Moriarty was very friendly and was happy to serve me a cup of tea and buttered scones in a lounge (with some great books on the shelves) downstairs, which were very much appreciated. I see many other reviewers have said this, but Ted really is very knowledgeable about Dingle and Ireland and Irish culture in general and he's a great conversationalist.
The room was comfortable and clean, with a great view over the garden, the hamlet of Ventry and the sea. The house seems a little old, but all the furnishings are up to standard. The creaking steps just add to the charm of the place.
Breakfast (a few options, of which I asked Brid to serve me scrambled eggs with smoked samon) was very good, in another room with a nice view.
I'm not sure whether internet or a communal computer is available, as I didn't need to use it.
All in all, a great stay and I can easily recommend it. Ted and Brid are friendly and you can ask them for any assistance without feeling like you are an inconvenience to them, not like some other B&Bs. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Words cannot describe how much fun we had in Dingle and the friendly Ted at Moriartys. From the moment we arrived till we left 2 days later we had a ball. Breakfast was yummy and so were the scones and tea on arrival. Would love to return one day.

“Terrific farmhouse, terrific hosts, and great breakfast in a fantastic location!"”

Ted and Brid were both incredible hosts and extremely hospitable even after we arrived much later than originally anticipated. The farmhouse is very quaint and quiet, we loved the 'off the beaten path' location. Brid served one of the best breakfasts we had on our trip (and we stayed at several places!). Ted is very knowledgeable about the area and made our trip that much more enjoyable. Dingle is a must see place and staying at Moriarty Farmhouse is a great place to start your tour!
