Lovely stay with Liz at the Anvil. She was a wealth of knowledge each morning helping up prepare for our days of adventuring.
Comfortable quiet room with lovely breakfast each morning. And the Anvil restaurant was a great end to busy days!

Our host Liz was very helpful, lots of advice about what to see, and we even had a brief Irish instruction. Very lovely. This was a great base for visiting Dingle peninsula. Breakfast was great, we enjoyed the pub, and there is also a nice pub next door.

We were on a first Ireland trip and just basic ideas what to see. Liz was a big help in planning our explorations. The location is great for exploring Kerry and Dingle peninsula’s. The room we had was spacious. Meals were great too.

Nice roadside pub. Food was good in evening and breakfast. Service in the evening was iffy. Most staff didn’t know how to check us in. Room was small but clean and fine and good for one night

Wow, Thanks Elizabeth, you provided each guest just what they needed in a thoughtful, caring way. That is amazing when running the pub, with the colourful regulars, and blow ins from all corners of the world. You provided the very best of Irish hospitality in a gem of a place. Thanks for being so generous with your time and guiding our local travels. What a terrific family you are. I wish we could bring you home with us! Warm regards, Dom and Julie from down under.

Wonderful place with room having character and appeal. Owner Liz went out of her way to help, give directions and share some of her stories.
Traffic along the road outside might be a concern for light sleepers and need for open windows to keep cool at night increases that risk. Lovely place perfect for our needs!

I loved it here! Instead of being handed a key, we were shown to our room, which was so cozy and welcoming. Both dinner and breakfast felt like home cooked meals rather than restaurant food. But the best part was the personal attention we received from our patroness Liz who shared stories and advice that truly touched our hearts and showed us the real Ireland. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the Anvil.

This was a great place to stay for the night after capping off a couple days in Dingle with the Slea Head Drive. It was a comfortable room with friendly service and a delicious breakfast included.

Nice little B&B, the only issue was that it’s not air conditioned, nor did it have a fan so it was pretty warm in the room.
Liz was very sweet and gave us some good advice for our drive.
