Castlewood House

Castlewood House was wonderful. It's a small boutique hotel with 12 rooms. Our room was well-appointed, spacious, and clean. The included breakfast might be the highlight of the stay. The owner is also the chef and prepared delicious and well-executed options from a surprisingly large menu. The staff was uniformly pleasant and helpful. There was even an EV charger around the back of the property for the hybrid we'd rented. Our experience was great and I would absolutely stay again if I'm ever back in Dingle.

Fabulous location for exploring Dingle and surrounds. Rooms very classy, bed was very comfortable. The decor is really lovely. Breakfast was something to behold! The choice available and cooked to order. Hosts and staff extremely attentive and friendly. Nothing too much trouble. Will definately be back!

Wonderful experience! Room was beautiful and very comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious and offered a nice variety. Gracious and friendly hosts and staff. Short walk to the main part of town. Highly recommend.

Stayed here for afamily birthday weekend. Our rooms were stunning with beautiful views. Extensive breakfast menu everything was so fresh with quality ingredients. Afternoon tea/ coffee with scones complementary was a lovely touch. Very friendly hosts and staff with excellent recommendations for restaurants and things to do

Our family marks Dingle as our favorite stop in Ireland. The Castlewood House was clean, comfortable and charming. It offered an easy, and beautiful, walk to pubs and restaurants and was a great launching spot for the Slea Head Drive. Do not miss the wonderful breakfast! It is fabulous and a nice exclamation point to our stay! Definitely recommend.

We stayed one night, in room 11. Honestly this was the most comfortable stay on our entire trip. The bed was amazing. I'm not sure why, maybe it's a European thing, but none of the other hotels we stayed in had a separate sheet on the bed. They were all just a comforter and nothing else. This bed at Castlewood House did have a sheet, so of course it's my favorite spot because I'm a hot sleeper. Breakfast was also incredible, tons of options and very attentive staff. Brian was also nice enough to let us park in the lot while we did some kayaking in the harbor, which was extremely helpful because the lot at the marina was insanely packed.

The hosts and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The common areas are stunning. Lovely ocean views, short walk to town and located right on Slea Head Drive. Breakfasts were the best we had Ireland.

Beautiful B&B. Great location, gorgeous rooms, and fabulous breakfasts. Brian and Helen were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Perfect!! It's an overused word, but it fits for our stay at the Castlewood House. The food was perfect, the rooms were nicely decorated and clean and the staff were friendly. I don't know how they could have improved on our experience. Sad to leave. Would give them a 10 if I could.

Castlewood House was fantastic, I wish we stayed more than one night. The B&B was easy to find and the parking lot was large. You are directly across from the water and the change it tides here made the waterline fascinating to watch. Stepping into the place you immediately had a nice smelling, clean, welcoming and friendly experience. Brian was a great host and gave us a delicious welcome drink. Our room was large with a nice view of the water. The bathroom was clean and modern and the bed comfortable. Castlewood House is only a 15 minute or so walk to downtown. We enjoyed the snacks, coffee, and tea available downstairs but the best thing here was the breakfast. Brian was an excellent cook and the breakfast here was easily the best on our entire trip.

Beautifully appointed. Very welcoming. Host (Brian) was excellent to share places to go in the area and marked on the map with a little information on each. Extremely comfortable. Breakfast was possibly the best I've ever had. Would love to stay longer. We stayed days at The Shelbourne in Dublin, this far exceeded that experience at a fraction of the cost. Town is charming and welcoming as well. Great Pub and restaurant choices. Top notch all the way around. When back to Ireland, this will be a first pick.

On a 12 day Irish vacation this was the premier location. Beautiful, well furnished rooms with views of the water. Marvelous friendly and helpful. We had conversation not just directions and advice. The breakfast was wow wow hella wow wonderful. The cold buffet would have been enough but the owner, Brian, cooked up great made to order meals. Needed more days to eat them all!!

It is obvious the owners are experienced hotel managers as every detail is attended to with meticulous care. The only resemblance to a B&B is that it is in a house, and you are served breakfast, but it puts every other B&B and most hotels to shame. The entire place is spotless and we enjoyed a great view of the bay. But the best surprise the next morning is the cooked to order breakfast that is out of this world. Beyond the breakfast there are more breads, juices, yogurt, cereal, fruits, granola, meats and more that ensure this to be a memorable breakfast, tailored to your specific taste. My only regrets are spending just one night here, and booking it with three other hotels left in the trip. Their standards were so high that the final three nights in other hotels could not hold a candle to the Castlewood. There is a reason the've won so many awards. If you are in the area and do not stay here...you've missed an outstanding travel opportunity.

A beautiful location and great rooms! The owners are incredibly friendly and willing to help you navigate Dingle (we arrived late the first night and they made calls to their favorite restaurants for us- we ended up at Out of the Blue, an amazing dinner spot I also recommend). Don't hesitate on this one, this place is a gem!

Such a great place to stay. Been in Ireland week now and this has been one of our favorites. Amazing location just outside of town but close enough to walk in to eat or see the sites and shop. Also, breakfast was probably the best I've has in Ireland yet. Wish we could stay longer.

I've traveled to many places and have stayed in some of the most amazing hotels but they have nothing on Castlewood House. The home is stunning. The rooms are luxurious and spacious. Our bathroom was large and had all the makings of a 4 - star top of the line hotel. The linens were clean and crisp and the bed and bath were spotless. Make sure you do not leave in the morning before the breakfast buffet. There are all different types of jams, breads and oatmeals. You can choose a hot meal from the menu. My boyfriend had the traditional Irish breakfast and he loved it. The portions were just enough. I had the pancakes that were to die for. Before we headed out we sat with one of the owners and he explained the Dingle Peninsula to us. He took the time to sit and chat. I even purchased one of the hand paintings that they had on display. My boyfriend and I were in Dingle for only one night but we plan on visiting again and when we do we will be staying at Castlewood again. Location: walking distance into town. And I highly suggest taking a ride around the Dingle Peninsula. Some of the most gorgeous scenery in Ireland.

This was perhaps the most outstanding of our lodging experiences in Ireland during our 3-week, self-designed driving tour here. The hosts went above and beyond in terms of caring for our comfort. We arrived a bit early and our room was not quite ready; we were seated in the living room and asked if we would like a mimosa. The mimosas were made with very fresh-squeezed orange juice. The two-story structure came complete with an elevator, so wimpy me did not have to huff and puff up a set of stairs with heavy bags. The breakfasts were awesome; the presentation, the freshness, the taste = perfection. It's easy to pull in and out of their private parking lot. The town of Dingle itself is a two or three block walk. Out of the Blue was an excellent restaurant. This is a good place from which to plan nearby excursions to the Aran Islands, Ring of Kerry, and Killarney. (I highly recommend Killarney Falconry to experience birds of prey up close.) The Irish music concert at St. James Church in Dingle was a fun way to spend the evening. You can't go wrong at this B&B/small hotel.

Outstanding! Brian was so accommodating and welcoming. The Castlewood House is gorgeous and it feels like you're staying with family. Its intimate setting was elegant, quaint, and luxurious. We can't wait to go back!
