Milltown House Guesthouse

Last minute we were able to book at stay at the Milltown House and we had a lovely experience! Room was nice and we felt very comfortable! It was very quiet during our stay, and the building is very beautiful and well taken care of! I would say if you’re looking for luxury this isn’t the place for you, but if you’re looking for a cute, quaint place to stay, it’s perfect! And of course the views were amazing!! The breakfast area is very beautiful and I would definitely recommend the Milltown House/stay again!

October 2025 Milltown House oozes charm,ambience and athmosphere. Ideally located, we enjoyed a superb room with a view over Dingle Harbour, the room was extremely comfortable and substantial in size, contained a king size bed which added even more to the experience, in addition a large modern bathroom provided all modern requirements including a very effective walk in shower unit. The room also provided Tea/ Coffee making facilities,and a safe. Decor and cleanliness of the room was exceptionally good Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful this contributed significantly to the enjoyment of our stay. The breakfast menu offered a choice to suit varied tastes, the food itself freshly cooked satisfied all palates. Overall an excellent stay, thank you Milltown House.

Comfortable rooms and central spaces in a beautifully restored Irish house. Our room was very comfortable, well appointed and equiped, with a very comfortable bed. Everything was clean and organized. Great breakfast too was included. Great place to relax and meet other guests, or just enjoy the grounds and private space.

During our Rick Steves Heart of Ireland tour, we had an amazing two night stay at the historic Milltown House Guesthouse setting across the delightful town of Dingle along the beautiful Dingle Peninsula. We were treated to staying in one of their cottages with breathtaking views of the peninsula and the Kingdom Falconry training field! This guesthouse was the home to the famed actor Robert Mitchem during the filming of the Oscar award winning movie Ryan's Daughter, and even the bar is named after him! We enjoyed several meals in their glass enclosed conservatory and an evening of live music! This is also walking distance to golf and the Dingle Distillery. Downtown Dingle is a ten minute walk along the peninsula or sometimes a shuttle is scheduled for guests.

We had a comfortable stay and great views at The Milltown House. The staff was friendly and the room was comfortable and clean! The bathroom was recently renovated and was really nice. The two Irish wolfhounds were absolutely adorable and sweet, I loved visiting them! It was nice to sit in the bar area and chat with other guest about their adventures. The B&B is well maintained and taken care of. ||Side note: The Falconry onsite is also well maintained and clean.

Tucked in just a wee bit away from the town - the Miltown house was a beautiful, quiet and comfortable stay. The breakfast was amazing with a lot of options to choose from and the room had such cute amenities - like a coffee machine, a rocking chair and a reading lamp! The view out of the window was spectacular and all the staff and Stephen were very friendly and courteous in their interactions.

A large comfortable room with the view of the harbor, even from the bathroom. The modern room is up a flight of stairs in an older B&B type building. Breakfast was included and there are adequate choices for all. From a full Irish to simple pastries and fruit. Wait staff handled the full orders and brought hot teapots. A buffet of fruit, cereals and juices was available buffet style. It’s a fifteen minute walk to the town.

We stayed here 2 nights as part of a group tour. The two most important elements—cleanliness and comfortable mattress—passed with flying colors. The rooms are quirky, no question; we had an extra twin bed in our Room (#6), which we used for our suitcases; the unexceptional view looked over the back of the property. Our buffet breakfast was great; not sure whether the hot items were part of the group tour, but I skipped that and enjoyed the excellent fruit selection and yogurt. It’ll take 15-20 minutes to walk into downtown Dingle, which, frankly, was fine by us; on weekends, that area is super-crowded. Oh: Those two dogs are adorable, friendly but not overbearing, and never a problem other than occasionally having to step over one of them snoozing: And that elicited chuckles which, frankly, are ALWAYS welcome! The staff was young, personable and accommodating. We purchased laundry services and were quite pleased with the results; it cost about $20 euros for a large sack.

Milltown House is a luxury boutique hotel known for its waterfront location overlooking the harbor, stylish rooms, and a unique history as the temporary home of Robert Mitchum during the filming of "Ryan's Daughter". The guesthouse features amenities like the Robert Mitchum Bar, free breakfast, beautiful lawns, and the presence of friendly Irish Wolfhounds and falcons. Gayle and I stayed here recently as part of our Essential Ireland Tour, of which I believe the owner used to be a Rick Steves Guide. We had the center room upstairs which was very comfortable and spacious, with a great view of the water and Dingle, lots of storage, and a really strong and hot shower. We really enjoyed the common spaces including the bar and breakfast room, and found staff to be really nice and helpful. The sun room breakfasts were great, as was the Irish Stew meal the last night we were here. Our tour package also included a full bag of laundry service for only 20 Euros. Location-wise, it's a short walk into town, keeping in mind the narrow bridge without sidewalk across the river. I'd only do this walk in the daytime either coming or going. And if you become stressed with that walk (or anything else), the Dingle Distillery is across the street for a tour and samples. During our walks, Gayle and I also enjoyed the tide-related river flows. Besides the Dingle Falconry experience on property (separate review), another highlight was an evening concert by 2 local members of the CUAS ensemble. In particular, we enjoyed the music and interaction with Nicole Ní Dhubhshláine (concertina, flute) and Kyle Macaulay (guitar, bouzouki). And after hearing just a taste of this vibrant and diverse West Kerry musical tradition, I went out an purchased the CD.

Interestingly, not everyone on the Rick Steve's tour was able to stay here. Not sure how the accommodations were, but the wait staff could use some work, actually just one in particular. She was upset with us for not waiting for buffet when another staff told us to go to it. The following day for lunch they brought five of six meals to our table and then brought the meals to another table and she was very exasperated that we asked for a meal for our sixth person saying she only had "two hands."

It seemed rather appropriate that on a Rick Steves tour, we actually got to stay in the Rick Steves room at this lovely hotel. We stayed two nights and enjoyed every moment of it. The room had a lovely view through the huge bay windows overlooking the sea, the bed was comfortable, and we slept very well. There was adequate closet space to store our clothes and enough convenient outlets to charge our devices. In fact, we realized we had lost one of our adapters and one of the staff members gave us one to use. We also especially loved having the Nespresso maker in our room. It was a nice touch and it made fantastic coffee. We liked the location - just a short walk to the heart of Dingle but far enough away from the noise and the busy tourist area. Every staff member I met - and I wish I knew their names - was so helpful, professional and always available. Even the dogs seemed eager to help, if only they could talk. It's obviously a well-managed hotel. One of the highlights of staying here was having a falconry experience right on the hotel grounds. There are brochures available in the hotel and they will even book it for you. Having a hawk and an owl land on your arm, holding a golden eagle at arm's length, watching a peregrine falcon hunt - these are memorable experiences that were easily accessible during our stay at this hotel. Book it quickly so you don't miss it. We had a delicious and filling breakfast every morning, cooked to order. My poached eggs were always perfect and the smoked salmon here was the best I had on this trip. It was also nice to be able to get a beer at the bar later in the afternoon and evening and sit in the lounge at the end of the day. The WiFi was much faster in the lounge downstairs anyway. The Milltown Guesthouse is one of the top places in which we were fortunate enough to stay during our Ireland and Scotland tours this summer. Anyone would be lucky to snag a reservation here. We hope to return again.

We stayed at the Milltown House for 2 nights. The B&B has a wonderful location - situated right in front of the water and easy walking distance to town and the Distillery. If you read any other reviews you will see reference to the dogs, and our review is no exception. Our daughter LOVED the dogs - they were her favorite part of her whole trip. The room was nice, spacious and clean. The breakfast was delicious! The scones - yum! Stephen was very informative and lead us to a new park that was built that we could take our little one to. He was also very informative about the area and history. Everyone who worked there was very friendly. If traveling to Dingle give this place a look!

What a lovely experience it was to stay here! Where to start, the rooms were amazing! Very large, quiet, and the bathroom was huge! The lounge was very comfortable and your first drink is free! The breakfast was wonderful in the sun room. This hotel is also close enough to walk anywhere you please in Dingle. Loved the charm of the California flag next to the Irish flag, made my husband feel right at home. As an added bonus we loved the Irish Wolfhounds!

Absolutely the best all around B&B in Ireland. Ambiance, proximity from town, privacy, food, company, knowledge of surroundings. If you don't stay here, you have not experienced Ireland. Thank you Stephen and crew!

The service, location and atmosphere were more than we could have ever asked for. We wanted a true Irish experience and that's exactly what we got.

Saw this place mentioned in a Rick Steves guidebook and so glad I did! Milltown House is a short walk from town, just around the harbor, and it looks and feels like heaven right there on the water. Marie and Seamus, the resident Irish Wolfhound, were quick to welcome me inside and I felt instantly at home. This charming house is equipped with a cozy bar, sitting rooms, and a lovely sun room overlooking the water. I was shown to a large suite with a super king-sized bed, sofa, table and chair, flat screen TV and a Nespresso machine. Breakfast was included and probably my favorite part. There are hot options available, and Dierdra bakes scones fresh every morning. There's also a variety of fresh fruit, Irish cheeses, yogurt, granola, cereal, and even almond milk which made me very happy. Breakfast is served in the sunroom with a view of the harbor--photos don't do it justice. There's a full bar on site so it's perfect for socializing, especially if you prefer a night in by the fire. Seamus the dog is super mellow and friendly--he even let me take him for a walk through town. If you are looking for an authentic Irish experience and a home away from home, this is it!
