Gastfamilien in County Kerry, Irland

The tea/coffee with cakes upon arrival are a welcoming hug as you enter this charming home with views that are like a postcard. Phil meets you with her warm Irish smile and directs you to your well kept, comfortable room. We stayed downstairs in room 6. My family was in room 7 which is like a suite Micheal helps with the luggage with a joke or two and a kind sense of humor. Upon awakening you head toward the smells of fresh brewed coffee and breakfast to trump most all breakfasts in taste. I can say they made the one of the most delicious eggs Benedict’s in my history. Just around the corner is a pub and a walk along the magnificent cliffs. Phil lets you know all the things to do and how to get there. I loved my quiet time in the sitting room sipping coffee or Jameson and soaking in the views of the Atlantic, with sheep and ponies dotting the breathtaking landscape. Thank you Phil and Bernie for taking such good care of us.

Wir waren zu zweit für eine Nacht in diesem B&B und haben uns erneut sehr wohl gefühlt. Aufgrund des Alters dieses Hauses, welches hervorragend renoviert ist, sind die Räume nicht allzu groß, jedoch vollkommen ausreichend für uns. Ebenso ist die Einrichtung sehr behaglich. Der Vermieter ist ein wahrer Entertainer, der immer sehr kommunikativ und auskunftsfreudig ist. Wir hatten sehr lustige Gespräche mit ihm. Wir konnten direkt vor dem Haus unser Auto kostenlos abstellen und somit alle Ziele des Ortes (Hafen, Restaurants, Dingle Aquarium und Pubs) zu Fuß sehr leicht erreichen. Das Frühstück, ob Full Irish, oder a la Carte war hervorragend und wurde frisch für uns zubereitet. Da ich häufig in Irland bin, werde ich sehr gerne wieder hier übernachten, wenn Dingle auf dem Reiseplan steht.

Pros: The location of this hotel is very good, in town, and walkable to sights and restaurants. Our room was very clean and had what we needed for a comfortable stay. The price was fair for the area, and we booked direct via the hotel’s website, so breakfast was included (cooked to order and delicious). We were so glad parking was included (lot in the back of the building). Cons: But the hotel was rather noisy, as we heard doors slamming and boisterous guests coming in after midnight. There didn’t seem to be much soundproofing. Also, the website and our booking confirmation email listed a laundry room for guest use. I was never able to find it, and the front desk was never staffed so there was nobody to ask. I did ask a housekeeper in the hallway and she said there wasn’t one. So maybe this is a new change, but perhaps the website should be updated.

Salmon Leap Farm has perfected the delicate balance of quaint Irish aesthetic with modern convenience. The B&B sits just outside of Killarney National Park and is itself an idyllic scene of Irish beauty. The landscaping includes climbing roses and hydrangeas, with an arched walkway that crosses a small water feature. Neighboring cows are quiet and add to the charm. Inside the house you'll find a sitting area and a rustic breakfast room, complete with Waterford Crystal and a welcoming inscription in Garlic above the fireplace. Sean, the owner, was most helpful in providing tips for Killarney National Park, and he made a delicious breakfast in the morning. The location provides fast wifi and our ensuite was modern with complimentary organic soaps.

Dieses B&B befindet sich im Herzen von Dingle. Sie kommen direkt vor der Seefront aus und hat wunderschöne Aussichten. Wir hatten ein Familienzimmer für 5 Personen - eines der Gründe, warum wir es gewählt haben - und es war ein guter Zimmer. Das Personal war wirklich freundlich und die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Eine Highlight war das Frühstück! Full Irish (Buffet) mit kontinentalem (auch buffet) plus kaltes Fleisch/Käse und geräucherten Lachs. Yoghurt mit einer Vielzahl von Samen, Muesli und Getreide, frisches Obst. Und die Option von frisch gekochten Porride oder Waffeln. Alle absolut lecker! Wir hatten alle einen tollen Aufenthalt - danke!

PROS: Exceptionally clean. Everything seemed relatively new. Beautifully quiet. Nice warm room. Bedding, décor, and furnishings were all quite nice and well selected. CONS: No lounge or living room type common area for guests to sit comfortably with only one basic office chair provided in the room. Quite simply, it was too sp****ly furnished and appointed. Wi-fi was very sketchy (despite numerous reboots) and even stopped working completely for quite some time. The owner since claimed to have “super fast Wi-Fi” and that we should have addressed Wi-fi issues on-site, but we had no idea how to find the proprietor once he handed us the room keys and then basically disappeared for the duration of our stay (behind one of the closed doors on the property?). In short, we could not address the Wi-fi issues as he suggested. There were no TV’s in the entire property, which the owner stated was done on purpose to provide a “quiet and peaceful experience”. That seems nice enough, but without reliable working Wi-fi, the property became an isolated entrapment while we stared at the walls for several hours. A tomb is a “quiet and peaceful experience”, but that doesn’t necessarily make it pleasant. By normal Irish standards for hotels, 4:30 pm check-in and 10:30 am check-out times were quite late and early respectively, which is not common for Ireland as the owner subsequently claimed. We stayed in more than 30 hotels in Ireland and not one of them provided so little overall time. The typical turnaround from check-in to check-out (in all of 2100 miles we traveled around Ireland) was about an hour longer, one way or another. Responding to this, the owner quite rudely wrote (his quote) that we “would need to familiarise yourself with the basics before travelling somewhere”. To that, I can only say we are traveling 110 days this year in 16 different countries and have traveled to about 40 countries before. We plan our journeys exhaustively. I suggest rather than provide insulting remarks about our travel abilities, which are highly tuned and time-tested, perhaps this property’s management should listen to useful customer input about things which were not customary and inferior to competitors. Breakfast was an additional charge which rather goes against the ENTIRE notion of calling oneself a B&B. In retrospect, on closer examination, I concede the advertised rates for the property apparently included a non-breakfast option, but it’s important to note that is not always completely obvious when viewing typical hotel booking sites. Addressing this, the owner wrote that “it looks like you had no idea what you were booking and were not looking at the location or anything at that time”. Overlooking the blatant rudeness of that comment, our situation was actually quite the contrary, and we were keenly familiar with the location, having already spent a total of 25 days traversing the entire west coast of Ireland throughout both rural and urban areas before

We stayed this past weekend for a hen party and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We were a group of 37 so alot of people to accommodate. Maura and team in the booking office were so helpful and accommodating in organising our group into the dorm and also double and triple rooms, and were on hand to adjust numbers as we went along, and answer any queries we had with such wonderful attitudes. We did activities in the bar which was beautifully decorated, and had custom cocktail menus for our group - thanks to Sean who was our barman and sorted all those details with us in advance. There is a lovely night porter if you fancy a nightcap which we did (sorry we didn't catch your name). Breakfast was delicious, well recieved by the whole group - nothing like a full Irish after a busy day and night. I would 100% recommend it for any group, the whole process was so easy. I would also recommend to anyone wanting to visit Dingle - the rooms are clean and modern, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the location is great.
