The Gable Dingle

8/10 Good

"Property is located in an excellent location. The hotel is brand new, with exceptional design taste, although the rooms are quite small but very functional and tastefully accessorized."

Dingle Skellig Hotel & Peninsula Spa

8/10 Good

"First room we were given was in the old part of the hotel and it was small and in need of modernisation. We were disappointed as we’d paid €586 for 2 nights B&B for our wedding anniversary and it didn’t justify the price. However after speaking to reception we were given a much bigger junior suite room for our 2nd night which we were happier with. The restaurant food was very good for dinner and the waiting staff were great. Great views of Dingle Bay from the modern restaurant. 10min walk into Dingle which was a great place to explore."

Ceann Sibeal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, cute town."

The Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff. Charming and clean venue. Excellent breakfast!"
