Dingle Harbour Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This property is a short walk to Dingle Town. There is free parking on premises. The staf went out of their way to answer any questions we had and make sure our stay was great. We stayed in a triple and it was spacious. The vathroom was also very clean. There is no a.c., but we didnt need it."
