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. It makes for an ideal setting to drink a cool mineral or beer from while you watch the water fowl fly by. Breakfast is great. I can recommend the Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and the Pancakes. 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.

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 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!

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.

After a jaunt to town for dinner, on arriving back, the front desk lady was also short tempered. We are a group of 4 self-sufficient adults who have had wonderful hotels during our time here, and all have been so friendly, till now. But bad service continued to breakfast - even worse. We finally left d/t rudeness. We loved the walks to town and back - the hotel is about 1/2 mile walk to town. We have spent a lot of time in Ireland. Our memories are of all the friendly people, and the beauty of the country. My husband has been to ireland many times. This is a first. I can only assume the staff are overworked or the hotel is short staffed.

They use fresh produce and eggs from their homestead and you can tell the difference. The location was just a quick 15 minute walk into town and they provide you with bright safety vests as you're walking on a narrow road with no shoulder or sidewalk for about 5 minutes of the walk. John and company are so lovely and helpful. I think about this place all the time and how I can't wait to go back. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating and no detail was left out.
