    This lovely place feels really spacious and cozy at the same time and it just a short walk along the water from downtown

    Nothing!

    Beautiful property, plenty of space for lots of people but was still mostly quiet in the morning and evening hours. Love that it is also a place to stay for tent campers. Clearly they value accessibility for all kinds of travelers and the house itself is really lovely inside.

    too expensive for a single room and no information what that means (3 beds, paying gor three???)

    Price was way too high for a single room which turned out to have bunk beds and a single bed with very little space for a suitcase. Communal showers and bathroom is fine but not for $75 a night.

    The place is airy, friendly atmosphere and easy use of kitchens, etc.

    The parking lot got quite full by the time we arrived at 7pm because of all the campers.

    We loved staying here. Note that there is camping also available on premises. There is a large kitchen and lots of places to hang out. We stayed in a dorm and it was great for the group of us. Within short walking distance to town. Free parking. Beautiful view of the stars at night.

    The floor might be a bit loud for footsteps since it's made mostly of wood but otherwise the quiet time is at 11pm onwards so it's actually not a big deal. We still had a great night sleep!

    The area is so near to the town, you can walk 5-10mins or drive for 2 mins. The staff was great and very approachable. The facilities are always clean. Well equipped kitchen :)

    All water taps were on a timer which saves water but makes having a shower difficult. . The timer only stayed on for a few seconds at a time. Very annoying. We stayed upstairs and had the continuous sound of running water right next to us all night. Couldn't find out where it was coming from . Also very annoying

    Good location & lovely kitchen. Staff were very friendly and helpful

    Short stay in Dingle with a pet and family

    It was quite noisy at night time as the Family room (2 adults 2 children) was beside the main kitchen, so hard to sleep until very late. However for a short stay to explore Dingle and to keep costs down I would highly recommend it.

    A big plus was that its pet friendly, Room was clean, kitchen well equipped, showers were clean and plenty hot water, easy check in/out. Its approx 3 min drive or 15 min walk to Dingle town centre. Plenty of cooking facilities.
