Dingle Accommodations
 
We've narrowed it down to 4 choices, any help would be appreciated. As we will be there 3 nights we want it to be right for us. They all look lovely. What we would like is walking distance to town, nice room, good breakfast, and pretty grounds outside to relax in,weather permitting.

Any other suggestions also welcome up to about $200 a night.

All of those listed get good reviews but we have never stayed in any of them. We loved The Lighthouse up the hill above town. We walked up and down several times without issues. The view is spectacular, the food was good and the rooms were lovely. They also have a patio at the front of the house where you can sit and relax.

I've stayed at Heaton's, though it's been 6 years ago. It was great and meets all of your criteria. Super breakfast!

I booked Pax House for our upcoming trip this September (first trip to Ireland). The owner was very quick to respond to my email inquires and provided a ton of information. He seems very plesant and interested in assisting his guests to help them have the most hassle free trip. Not sure when your trip is, but I will be sure to post a note on trip advisor when I return.

cmf_1098----We are also going in Sept. the 14,15, 16 in Dingle, and just got a reply from Pax House. I agree, they were most informative and helpful. They have a sea view, but no balcony----did you take the last one? It's my birthday on the 15th---are you sure you don't want to give it up?

We stayed three nights September 09 at Heaton's and loved it.
We were in Ireland for a self drive two week trip, and Dingle and Heaton's was probably the hightlight of our trip!! Don't think you will be disappointed.

We just spent four nights in Greenmount House and it was wonderful. Our room was big and beautifully decorated, the breakfast was delicious, and the Currans are wonderful hosts.
Greenmount is an easy walk into town, as well.

There were four of us in a large room with a balcony and a sea view. It was really lovely.

We can't wait to go back next summer and spend more time in Dingle. You'll love it.

Well, we finally booked with Greenmount House----thanks for the post. It just looks like our kind of place.
