    "Don't Touch My Dingle" is, I believe the title of the city anthem, or was it "Don't Cry for Me, My Dingle"? OK, I just made all that up. I just love the name of this place because it fits somehow. It's Gaelic for his little pink friend. Oh, I blew it. Anyhow, I had actually visited Dingle before, 24 years earlier when I was just a wee lad of none-of-your-f'ing-business, but I was excited to come back with Jamie W. to relive those days of yore on the far side of Ireland. Jamie actually found this hotel which is about the first building you see when you come upon the center of town on Strand Street next to the marina. From the outside, it's a charming clapboard building. Once you enter, there really isn't a lobby, and it feels a bit dated. Still, we had no complaints about the size of our room, a Double on the second floor overlooking the water for only $117 per night. There was room for a sofa, desk and coffee table (photo: http://bit.ly/2fkdaDG), and the bathroom was equally large. The relatively tame Paudie's Bar is right next door, and we were able to have a pint of Guinness listening to a trio of fine local musicians in a pretty comfortable setting with a whole lotta tourists like us (photo: http://bit.ly/2gcJFbz). Luckily when we turned in, none of the noise from the pub drifted to our room. The one disappointment was the complimentary breakfast. We both ordered the Dingle Bay Hotel Traditional Irish Breakfast which consisted of a small fried egg, plenty of burnt Canadian bacon, greasy sausage, a tomato half, and a crumbly, inedible pudding (photo: http://bit.ly/2fmkUZi). It just wasn't a great way to start the morning, even though I ran into an old colleague from two jobs ago in San Francisco. This was a person I liked, so it was a treat. I once ran into an old boss on a Thailand beach and thought I was gonna die, but that's another story. They provide free parking in a lot above the hotel where you drive up an adjacent gravel hill.

    We decided to stay the night on the Dingle Peninsula so where please when we found this place called in had a look at the room liked what we saw so booked the night, and pleased we did. The room was clean and tidy and was the only one we stayed in that had tea making facilities in the room. We ate in the restaurant downstairs where the food was well prepared and cooked, to top it all they also had a traditional Irish band playing, which kept us all well entertained for the evening. There are plenty of B&Bs and Hotels in Dingle and if they are all like this one you should be pleased.

    Still as good as I remember, stopped in with a party of right last night. Tried everything from steak to monkfish goujons, lamb and beef burger. Everyone happy with their meal, service excellent, price very good for the standard of food and the location in Dingle. You just can't go wrong with this establishment.

    Stopped for dinner in the restaurant and had a great experience! Staff was very friendly; atmosphere was clean and cozy. Menu had many great sounding options and ingredients seemed very fresh.

    Stopped in for tea and scones. Cozy nook near the windows at the pub. Nice place to relax for a few minutes.

    Milltown House is a luxury boutique hotel known for its waterfront location overlooking the harbor,…read morestylish rooms, and a unique history as the temporary home of Robert Mitchum during the filming of "Ryan's Daughter". 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.

    Interestingly, not everyone on the Rick Steve's tour was able to stay here. Not sure how the…read moreaccommodations were, but the wait staff could use some work, actually just one in particular. She was upset with us for not waiting for buffet when another staff told us to go to it. The following day for lunch they brought five of six meals to our table and then brought the meals to another table and she was very exasperated that we asked for a meal for our sixth person saying she only had "two hands."

Reception staff was adequate, though not warm and fuzzy. Manageable 10 min. walk down the driveway hill and main street into Dingle. The hill may be long and steep for those with difficulty walking or who are in a wheelchair. Private parking for guests. We went in April and were rather put off by the overwhelming smell of the neighboring fishery. It is powerful and sure lets you know you're back at the hote driveway! However, the smell did not permeate the lobby or our room, so as long as you know that you can overlook the temporary breath-holding as you go by. Good location for the Dingle Loop Drive. We did not opt for any food at the hotel. Overall, it was a decent location, decent room, decent price, and a good bargain hotel.

    This is a 4.5 star for me. I booked a hostel room here (yes, they're a hostel too) and was…read moresurprisingly upgraded to a private room. Even the extra days I started beyond my reservation were booked at the hostel rate for the room to myself. A huge, heartfelt thanks! The room was cleaned daily, fresh water, biscuits, tea added.

The view is stunning, it's just outside of town(so very quiet), although like most weekend nights it got a but noisy one everyone came back from drinking. To be expected in Ireland. My only negatives: the bed was an old spring coil that left my back sore, and you have to lock the door behind you with the key (not a big deal, just noisy and difficult to manage even sober). I'd come back here in a heartbeat.
