“In the village, this seems to be the nicest choice, especially with its own restaurant and convenient parking; I'd recommend springing for an ocean-view room to enjoy the wonderful light from those skylights. The location is prime for exploring the Dingle Peninsula and its stunning beaches. I think it is a wonderful base to explore this scenic corner of Ireland.”
