The Gallarus Oratory was the place of worship for early Christian farmers of the area. Shaped like an upside-down boat, the simple dry-stone structure has remained waterproof and in near-perfect condition to the present day without any restoration.
The oratory is made only of local stones fitted carefully together, using no mortar to hold together.

AN NEAD, pet friendly, with open fire in Dingle, County Kerry

Ballydavid

"The cottage is adorable, very clean, and well equipped with everything you might need. The location is stunning, and the owner, Cate, was so gracious and lovely. We had some trouble finding the cottage the first time, but once you do, it’s easy to get to. The charming town of Dingle is only 10 or so minutes away and has some very good dining options. We could definitely have stayed longer— there is so much to do in the area. Highly recommend. "

Dingle Benners Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast, walkable to everything "

Quayside B&B

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the hotel was very kind and helpful during check in and the whole of our stay. We were travelling with our 9-year-old daughter and opted for the triple room, which was spacious, quiet, and clean. The hotel is very quaint and centrally located to downtown Dingle. After checking out, the hotel staff quickly called us to let us know we left an item in the hotel so we could retrieve it before leaving town. We are definitely thankful and would stay at the Quayside B&B again. "
