“Authentic Irish Farmhouse”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

person found this review helpful

For 2 jet-lagged travelers who had been up for ~ 30 hours, the quite location down a one track lane was very welcome. All we heard was the wind blowing in from the ocean.
Off the main road and a great home base while on the Slea Head drive, but still just a 10 minute drive into Dingle town for dinner/pubs. Rooms are basic but clean and have sweeping views out to Ventry bay. Ted cooked our breakfasts from a range of menu options and they kept us going till dinner. (For a short but challenging hike across sheep pastures ask for directions to nearby Eask Tower. We stumbled upon it while driving and enjoyed the 360 views over the ocean and Dingle town at least as much as the touristy Cliffs of Moher.) We were fortunate to find Moriarty’s open during the very off season of December, but would recommend it any time of year!

“Our All Time Favorite Farmhouse Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

What an absolutely beautiful setting for a Farmhouse B&B! Beautiful flora and breathtaking scenery everywhere! We stayed three nights and loved every minute in the Dingle / Ventry area. Be sure to engage the Moriartys in discussions about their family history in the area, or you will miss a truly unique opportunity. I can't remember having laughed so much while receiving a one of a kind history lesson from Mr. Moriarty. I only wish we could have spent a week there, listening and asking questions. Fascinating!! Thanks to you both for a most memorable stay. And finally, thanks for that homemade raspberry jam each morning at breakfast!

“Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

We stayed 3 nights here while exploring the Dingle peninsular. Great location, quiet and out of the main tourist traffic but still only a short distance to Dingle. Rooms upstairs are a bit small but has great character. It is a shame we didn't get to see the farm.
Had good restaurant experiences at the Stone House Restaurant next to Dun Beg Fort and at a new restaurant in Dingle the Bull's Head both only a short drive away.

Beautiful location just outside Dingle. Very comfortable spotless rooms. Great welcome by the owners. Nice living room area where guests can relax and meet each other. The owners have a tremendous knowledge of the area which is truly spectacular. I'd recommend Moriarity's Farmhouse B&B.

“Wonderful place to stay near Dingle!!”

We loved our stay at Moriarty's Farmhouse. The Farmhouse is in a beautiful setting and you can look across Ventry Bay all the way to the Kerry Mountains. The rooms are comfortable and clean and take full advantage of the beautiful views. The breakfast was the best we had during our stay with many options and all fresh and tasty! The Moriarty Family is lovely and very helpful. We enjoyed our dinner at the pub in Ventry and Dingle was less than a 10 minute drive.
