This Dingle bed and breakfast guide only contains places that one or more of our team have stayed in.
As a team, we’ve spent many weekends on the Dingle Peninsula, both in off-the-beaten-track villages and in the heart of buzzy Dingle Town.
And, while we’ve stayed in several of the main hotels in Dingle, too, it’s the Dingle B&Bs that tend to be the best value-wise.
Below, you’ll find a clatter of great B&Bs in Dingle, many of which are a short walk from the town centre.
