The bar is excellent with a good wine selection, a good Dingle gin selection, and local beers. Good mixologists as well. The food is excellent!

The room that we are staying in has been remodeled very recently and is very currently decorated and large, especially for a European hotel. We are very pleased! I highly recommend this hotel and wood stay here again without hesitation.

The Seafood Chowder and Lamb Shoulder were over-the-top good, cooked to perfection, tender, and unique! The Sea-bass was tender and excellent! The Lamb Shepherd's Pie was not too grainy, even for someone who usually can't eat much lamb because of a mild allergy, and the lamb was very tender! The lamb was smothered with delicious mashed potatoes and vegetables, and the vegetables tasted garden-fresh and were cooked to perfection! The servers were so warm and kind!

Starting with the castle itself, the lobby boasts maximalists decor with a wealth of classical artwork. Step outside, and a walking trail beckons through peaceful woodland. I also enjoyed seeing the ponies, dogs and donkeys that are kept on this estate. They were adorable and appeared to be quite well cared for. The dining here is exceptional. I ate dinner and breakfast at the property, and especially appreciated the steamed mussels caught just a few miles away off the coast of Ireland. The interior of both dining rooms is opulent and inviting. With plenty of room for four people, my guestroom in the lodge was also an impeccably pleasant place to spend time. Word to the wise: once you check into this property, you will not want to leave. I'll remember this stay long after my plane takes off for home.

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.

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.

The beautiful River Laune runs right beside the property, which is excellent. There is a platform that over looks the river which has table and chairs.

There is an excellent continental breakfast already setup in the breakfast room, with everything you would expect and more. The town is only a five min walk away and there is a filling station about two mins away from Grove Lodge.

I would recommend trying to get there during the daylight. We also were VERY late for check-in and our phones were not working with the international plan we purchased. I was so worried by the time we got there she would have gone to bed. But we were able to call from a nearby pub, The Marina Inn (see my review), and Denise was waiting up for us. Luckily we were the only guests staying with her that night so she let us decide when to have breakfast. We opted for 10 a.m. and I think all parties were glad to get some extra sleep after a late night. (Even though we arrived around 10:00 p.m. she was kind enough to offer tea or coffee.) Denise really went above and beyond with breakfast. (I will upload many pictures of the presentation and style of her food.) We had two excellent breakfasts in Ireland and this was one of them. From the fresh homemade scones to the endless coffee, it was the perfect way to start the meal. *Nothing is more incredible than waking up to the serene Dingle countryside and having a 3 course breakfast prepared for you. 1st Scones $ Soda Bread, 2nd: Homemade Granola and Yogurt or Porridge, 3rd: your choice off the menu. I had the special pancake with fresh fruit and my date had the full irish breakfast. Everything was incredible and we started the day very satisfied and full. She has two adorable cocker spaniels and a sweet cat named "Becky." If you love/ miss your pets, they will make you smile! Quick note: Do NOT use your GPS to find this place. It is MUCH easier to just follow Denise's instructions from Dingle town. (We learned that the hard way.) We will certainly be back and next time arrive earlier and do the dinner that she has for an additional option. She is an excellent cook!
