    There’s honestly nothing they could do better than they’re already doing

    Greeted by Dermott and his very lovely son jack upon arrival. This property and very large house is in pin perfect condition. We had a beautifully appointed room overlooking the inlet and green hills. It was at the end of the main road , about a 10 minute easy walk into all the shops and pubs.

    Nothing!

    Dermott was a wonderful host and so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and he generously offered the washing machine which was well needed after 2 weeks of travelling. The room was lovely and we loved it all. Location was lovely and peaceful whilst being so convenient to walk into Dingle and also head out on the Slea Head Drive (a must do!)

    That I couldn't stay longer.

    Dermot was the friendliest host, offering great recommendations for things to do and places to see. HIs breakfast was fantastic with homemade Irish porridge and fancy coffees. He was so approachable and even helped us to dry our clothing after we got soaked in an Irish rainstorm. The location is perfect with a beautiful view of Dingle with a short walk to town, but quiet and peaceful. It was one of our best stays on any of our vacations abroad.

    Gorgeous view...perfect view of the bay and Peninsula across the way. The owner and staff, Dermot and Anna, were just great people and made our stay so very nice for me and my son. Dermot is a character in the best way and Anna was so cute and a ball of energy..always helpful.

    I would highly recommend staying at The Lighthouse Dingle. The owner, Dermot was amazing, he gave us so much information about the local area, restaurants and even helped us booking a golf course - nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were great and breakfast simple but lovely. Great coffee machine. The only thing you need to be aware of is it is located outside of town, about a 10 min walk but it is mostly uphill. If your fitness isn’t at a reasonable level I’d suggest staying closer to town. We however, loved the walk and view so it wasn’t an issue at all. Thanks Dermot, you were the ultimate host!

    Dermot and his Son Jack were so helpful and attentive that nothing was too much trouble, including lifts to an event and allowing us to use the charger for our electric car. The house itself is spotless, in a great location within easy walking distance to the town, and has the best view of Dingle Bay. We plan on doing the ring of Kerry next year and a stay in the Lighthouse in definitely on the books. Well done, Dermot and Jack your doing a grand job.

    Dingle has some of the most beautiful views but sadly we were given a rear room with a velux rooflight & the only view we had after climbing 2 steps to see out was that of a building site! The rain hitting on the velux was very loud & disturbed our sleep, as did the extremely loud international guests next door who proceeded to move between rooms across the landing frequently at night & shouted at each other rather than talking. At 11.30pm on the first night we had to knock the wall to make them aware they were disturbing us. The second night had different guests & they proceeded to watch television until 11.40. Their TV seemed to be against our wall so we heard every sound!! There does not appear to be any sound deadening or insulation between the stud walls & every sound could be heard including those using the toilet, shower & WHB, their televisions & conversations. We had two very disturbed nights sleep. We appreciate the disturbance from other guests is out of Dermots control but he does need to address better sound insulation to ensure his guests have a comfortable night. Sadly due to this we would not stay here again or recommend.

    The Lighthouse is a lovely B & B & Dermot the host is a very nice gentleman & very helpful in advising of places to go. The bed, pillows & linen was very comfortable & the room spacious.
