    "Don't Touch My Dingle" is, I believe the title of the city anthem, or was it "Don't Cry for Me, My Dingle"? OK, I just made all that up. I just love the name of this place because it fits somehow. It's Gaelic for his little pink friend. Oh, I blew it. Anyhow, I had actually visited Dingle before, 24 years earlier when I was just a wee lad of none-of-your-f'ing-business, but I was excited to come back with Jamie W. to relive those days of yore on the far side of Ireland. Jamie actually found this hotel which is about the first building you see when you come upon the center of town on Strand Street next to the marina. From the outside, it's a charming clapboard building. Once you enter, there really isn't a lobby, and it feels a bit dated. Still, we had no complaints about the size of our room, a Double on the second floor overlooking the water for only $117 per night. There was room for a sofa, desk and coffee table (photo: http://bit.ly/2fkdaDG), and the bathroom was equally large. The relatively tame Paudie's Bar is right next door, and we were able to have a pint of Guinness listening to a trio of fine local musicians in a pretty comfortable setting with a whole lotta tourists like us (photo: http://bit.ly/2gcJFbz). Luckily when we turned in, none of the noise from the pub drifted to our room. The one disappointment was the complimentary breakfast. We both ordered the Dingle Bay Hotel Traditional Irish Breakfast which consisted of a small fried egg, plenty of burnt Canadian bacon, greasy sausage, a tomato half, and a crumbly, inedible pudding (photo: http://bit.ly/2fmkUZi). It just wasn't a great way to start the morning, even though I ran into an old colleague from two jobs ago in San Francisco. This was a person I liked, so it was a treat. I once ran into an old boss on a Thailand beach and thought I was gonna die, but that's another story. They provide free parking in a lot above the hotel where you drive up an adjacent gravel hill.

    We decided to stay the night on the Dingle Peninsula so where please when we found this place called in had a look at the room liked what we saw so booked the night, and pleased we did. The room was clean and tidy and was the only one we stayed in that had tea making facilities in the room. We ate in the restaurant downstairs where the food was well prepared and cooked, to top it all they also had a traditional Irish band playing, which kept us all well entertained for the evening. There are plenty of B&Bs and Hotels in Dingle and if they are all like this one you should be pleased.

    Still as good as I remember, stopped in with a party of right last night. Tried everything from steak to monkfish goujons, lamb and beef burger. Everyone happy with their meal, service excellent, price very good for the standard of food and the location in Dingle. You just can't go wrong with this establishment.

    Stopped for dinner in the restaurant and had a great experience! Staff was very friendly; atmosphere was clean and cozy. Menu had many great sounding options and ingredients seemed very fresh.

    Stopped in for tea and scones. Cozy nook near the windows at the pub. Nice place to relax for a few minutes.

    Milltown House

    (8 reviews)

    Milltown House is a luxury boutique hotel known for its waterfront location overlooking the harbor,…read morestylish rooms, and a unique history as the temporary home of Robert Mitchum during the filming of "Ryan's Daughter". The guesthouse features amenities like the Robert Mitchum Bar, free breakfast, beautiful lawns, and the presence of friendly Irish Wolfhounds and falcons. Gayle and I stayed here recently as part of our Essential Ireland Tour, of which I believe the owner used to be a Rick Steves Guide. We had the center room upstairs which was very comfortable and spacious, with a great view of the water and Dingle, lots of storage, and a really strong and hot shower. We really enjoyed the common spaces including the bar and breakfast room, and found staff to be really nice and helpful. The sun room breakfasts were great, as was the Irish Stew meal the last night we were here. Our tour package also included a full bag of laundry service for only 20 Euros. Location-wise, it's a short walk into town, keeping in mind the narrow bridge without sidewalk across the river. I'd only do this walk in the daytime either coming or going. And if you become stressed with that walk (or anything else), the Dingle Distillery is across the street for a tour and samples. During our walks, Gayle and I also enjoyed the tide-related river flows. Besides the Dingle Falconry experience on property (separate review), another highlight was an evening concert by 2 local members of the CUAS ensemble. In particular, we enjoyed the music and interaction with Nicole Ní Dhubhshláine (concertina, flute) and Kyle Macaulay (guitar, bouzouki). And after hearing just a taste of this vibrant and diverse West Kerry musical tradition, I went out an purchased the CD.

    It seemed rather appropriate that on a Rick Steves tour, we actually got to stay in the Rick Steves…read moreroom at this lovely hotel. We stayed two nights and enjoyed every moment of it. The room had a lovely view through the huge bay windows overlooking the sea, the bed was comfortable, and we slept very well. There was adequate closet space to store our clothes and enough convenient outlets to charge our devices. In fact, we realized we had lost one of our adapters and one of the staff members gave us one to use. We also especially loved having the Nespresso maker in our room. It was a nice touch and it made fantastic coffee. We liked the location - just a short walk to the heart of Dingle but far enough away from the noise and the busy tourist area. Every staff member I met - and I wish I knew their names - was so helpful, professional and always available. Even the dogs seemed eager to help, if only they could talk. It's obviously a well-managed hotel. One of the highlights of staying here was having a falconry experience right on the hotel grounds. There are brochures available in the hotel and they will even book it for you. Having a hawk and an owl land on your arm, holding a golden eagle at arm's length, watching a peregrine falcon hunt - these are memorable experiences that were easily accessible during our stay at this hotel. Book it quickly so you don't miss it. We had a delicious and filling breakfast every morning, cooked to order. My poached eggs were always perfect and the smoked salmon here was the best I had on this trip. It was also nice to be able to get a beer at the bar later in the afternoon and evening and sit in the lounge at the end of the day. The WiFi was much faster in the lounge downstairs anyway. The Milltown Guesthouse is one of the top places in which we were fortunate enough to stay during our Ireland and Scotland tours this summer. Anyone would be lucky to snag a reservation here. We hope to return again.
