The Waterfront is so well located in the small town of Dingle, it made getting around very easy. BUT it is loud on the street right outside and that was a bit irritating. The staff were all extremely helpful, friendly, and just all around lovely.

This was me of the best stays I’ve ever had anywhere. Place is in an excellent location, right across from the ocean. Anne, the host, was charming and helpful. Breakfast was awesome (Belgian waffle with fresh fruit! And bagels with salmon, not to mention eggs and sausage…). Couldn’t have found a better place.

The room and staff were wonderful. We hit a very hot day in Dingle and the lack of air conditioning left it a bit sticky for sleeping. Hayley was great and gave us all the ins and outs of the town. They were spot on. So - other than the hot night sleep, absolutely no complaints.
