Emlagh House

Perfect Dingle Bed & Breakfast From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by Emlagh House. Easy parking and check-in, friendly host, Mary, to greet us, lovely room with large windows with beautiful ocean views, two sinks in bathroom, high ceilings, comfortable beds, delicious full breakfast…and perfect location…walking distance to town but far enough to be quiet. We absolutely loved our stay

This moldering relic of a once luxurious guest house is shabby and in need of repair. The room has a smell to it- decay?mildew? the dust of a thousand travelers? The furniture is worn (watch out for the staples!) and the beds are old, hard, sagging, and a bit uncomfortable. The “luxurious king bed” turns out to be 2 twin beds shoved together. The windows are falling apart so that opening and closing them causes parts of them to come loose and block other parts. The bathtub leaks. There is mildew/mold in a few spots on the ceiling. On the other hand, the location is perfect - it is extremely quiet and is just a short walk from all of Dingle. The room and bathroom are very large, freshly painted, and freshly carpeted. The shower’s water pressure is so strong that it seems to be from another era, and the temperature is easy to adjust - perhaps the easiest in all of Ireland! The waffles for breakfast are delicious, and the fruit, fresh cream, and bacon are wonderful. The toffee candies are good and plentiful. The service, though not warm and friendly, is professional. If you do choose to book this place and they have trouble finding your reservation, try having them look under your first name.
