    It’s well off the beaten path and not near any city amenities. We loved that about it we had a grand stay

    No elevator. We had a lot of luggage. It’s to be expected in a small bed and breakfast type establishment.

    I loved the scenery and the neighborhood atmosphere. My friend and I spent a half hour or so in the bar and met some neighborhood regulars. They sang some of the old songs and we heard about the neighborhood news. The breakfast was top notch. I loved that it was off the beaten path. The views from our room can’t be beat.

    Location - but that has nothing to do w/ the accommodations. It’s quite isolated, so w/o a car, you can’t walk to a store, for instance. But it’s a beautiful isolation: sheep grazing next door. Starry sky at night.

    Breakfast was good . Very good

    We were happy with our stay at An Bothar pub. The location was beautiful. Our room was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent (highly recommend the chicken burger).

    From start to finish we loved our stay, dinner and staff was just wonderful, the music/storytelling was fun, we sat in the lounge with the locals and chatted with people who knew some folks we know, slept GREAT in the spacious room (3 of us) and, finished our breakfast as we were the last to go down for it and had the owners to ourselves. We got a chance to get to know them a little and they us! It was a fantastic stay!!! Highly recommend 🤗

    Absolutely loved our stay at An Bothar Pub. The room itself was very comfortable and spacious for my family. The view from the room was beautiful. The location was perfectly tucked away from the hustle and bustle in Dingle but close enough to everything we needed. The breakfast was yummy but I definitely recommend eating at the Pub for dinner. We had the beef roast one night and fish and chips the next and both were amazing.

    We loved everything about our night in Dingle!!! The accommodations were perfect, clean, roomy and very, very comfortable. At first, I was a little bit concerned that it would be loud since it is over a pub, but it was not. In fact, you could have heard a pin drop at night, it was so quiet and peaceful. The restaurant downstairs was delicious and we loved hearing the Irish music. Having the restaurant/pub downstairs was the perfect way to enjoy being off the beaten path, but also not have to drive or spend lots of time looking for a place to eat. Breakfast this morning was equally as wonderful! If I could give 10 stars, I would do it!

    The only negative was the bed was a bit soft for us.

    Staff was wonderful and it was great to have the pub and restaurant right there given there isn’t much else around.
