Fodor's Expert Review Heaton's Guesthouse
The Wood, Dingle, Co. Kerry, Ireland
On the Slea Head edge of Dingle Town, but just a short walk to the center, this traditional-style yellow house is right on the water's edge. The spacious lobby has a gas fire and large couches looking out to sea through the bay windows. All guest rooms are individually styled, with marble bathrooms, reproduction classic French-style antique furniture, plush carpets, flat-screen TVs, and waffle robes. Junior suites and deluxe rooms have extra space, and the best sea views. Breakfast is a major event here, with an extensive buffet preceding the traditional fry.
PROS
- voted one of the best places to stay in Ireland
- outstanding breakfast
- only a short walk from town
CONS
- if it rains you'll be driving, not walking, to nearest bars and restaurants
- no leisure facilities
- limited menu selection
