12 Best Hotels In Dingle, Ireland (With Area Map)

In my opinion based on many visits to the area, the best hotels in Dingle are The Dingle Bay, Benner’s Hotel, and The Dingle Skellig.

However, when it comes to deciding where to stay in Dingle, availability is often a massive factor.

The area is a tourist hot-spot, and when choosing accommodation in Dingle, you have a choice between:

• A: Dingle Town (the heart of the action)
• B: The wider Dingle Peninsula (glorious scenery)

1. The Dingle Bay Hotel

The Dingle Bay is one of the family-run hotels in Dingle and it boasts a mighty location right across from the marina.

Although the rooms are basic, they’re bright, clean (exceptionally well reviewed) and have everything you’ll need for a few days on the Dingle Peninsula.

The hotel is also home to Paudie’s Bar where you can sample hearty meals and catch traditional Irish music sessions. 

If you’re looking for central places to stay in Dingle at the heart of the action where good service is guaranteed, look no further.

2. Dingle Benner’s Hotel

The Benners is another of the more central Dingle hotels and you’ll find it right on Main St where it has been since the 1800s.

Guests can expect a blend of historic charm with modern comforts along with a location that’s minutes (literally) from the best pubs in Dingle, like Foxy Johns.

Choose from 52 rooms, including classic doubles and romantic four-poster options with luxurious touches like antique furnishings.

Like many of the best hotels in Dingle, there’s a cozy pub on-site along with dining options.

3. The Dingle Skellig Hotel

The Dingle Skellig is a handy 10-minute walk into town and it’s one of the most popular spa hotels in Ireland. The views from the photos above will give you an idea as to why!

Dating back to 1969, the hotel boasts 152 rooms, with everything from classics to deluxe suites with spectacular views over Dingle Bay.

Guests can unwind at the Peninsula Spa, complete with an outdoor hot tub, take a dip in the 17m pool, work up a sweat in the extensive fitness suite or relax in the jacuzzi.

In the evening, there’s the stylish Binn Bán Brasserie or the relaxed Blaskets Bar. The best places to eat in Dingle are also a short stroll away, too.

4. Greenmount House

While there are plenty of B&Bs in Dingle, few offer an accommodation experience like Greenmount House, a 10-minute walk from the town.

This is a luxury, 4-star B&B that was established in 1977. An award-winner, it offers a welcoming, family-run atmosphere along with exceptional views of Dingle Bay.

Room-wise, there are Traditional Rooms, spacious Garden View Rooms and the highly sought-after Sea View Rooms with glorious views.

When it comes to style, service and scenery, Greenmount House goes toe-to-toe with the best hotels in Dingle!

6. Dingle Garden Townhouse

Dingle Garden Townhouse is a 200-year-old gem located just off Main St. The beauty of this place is that you get a quiet, idyllic setting that’s just feet from the hustle and bustle.

The Townhouse boasts 10 rooms, each with super-king or king-sized beds with garden, harbour, or Conor Pass views.

There’s also a light-filled open-plan living area that leads to a spacious garden surrounded by stone walls.

If you’re looking for a base that’s in the town and close to the many things to do in Dingle yet feels a world away, look no further.

7. Fab View

You’ll find the family-run Fab View guesthouse a 10-minute walk from the town, in an enviable position overlooking the Bay and beyond.

The property features five unique bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to blend comfort and style.

On the top floor, the Tower View and Eagle View rooms boast panoramic sea views, while the luxurious Oak Suite includes a private balcony, two bedrooms, and a spacious bathroom.

The guesthouse’s highlight is the 13-meter indoor heated pool, complemented by a three-person steam room and a relaxation room overlooking Dingle Harbour.

8. An Capall Dubh B&B Dingle

If you’re looking for self-catering Dingle accommodation, An Capall Dubh, which also has a B&B, is a great shout.

Six spacious bedrooms are light and airy with nautically themed decor and you can opt for a double, twin or family room.

The rooms are clean, bright and comfortable and the property is situated right at the heart of Dingle Town, just seconds from Green Street.

9. Hotel Ceann Sibeal

One of the only Dingle Peninsula hotels that’s located out of the town is the excellent Hotel Ceann Sibeal in Ballyferriter Village, which sits on Slea Head

This makes a great alternative to many of the Dingle accommodation options above, as it’s away from the busy town yet close to many of the area’s key attractions.

The Ceann Sibéal Hotel is a cozy 3-star family-run hotel, featuring 26 comfortable rooms, some of which offer coastal views.

There’s an on-site Bar and Restaurant and the area will suit those looking to experience a rural Irish village that’s at the heart of some of Ireland’s finest scenery.

10. Seaview Heights

I’m going to move away from the hotels in Dingle for a moment and take you to the brilliant Seaview Heights on Upper John St., a 5-minute walk from Main St.

Seaview Heights boasts bright, comfortable and finely decked-out rooms with views of the surrounding countryside stealing the show.

After a sound night’s sleep make your way to the breakfast room for a tasty full Irish breakfast before heading off for the day and exploring the many things to do in Dingle.

11. Murphy’s B&B

Arguably some of the more popular Dingle accommodation on offer, Murphy’s is a family-run B&B on Strand Street, just 100m from the harbour.

The chances are you’ll have seen pictures of the pub, with its bright red exterior, which features in many photos of the area.

There are doubles, singles and family rooms at Murphy’s and each is clean, comfortable and modern.

Dingle’s attractions, pubs and restaurants are all a short saunter away.

12. Pax Guesthouse

This award-winning guesthouse is one of the most unique places to stay in Dingle, offering breathtaking views across the sea.

This place blends the homely vibe of a bed and breakfast with all the style and attitude of a chic boutique hotel.
