“Dingles touch of class”

Heaton's Guesthouse

Apr 4, 2008

We have just spent a week on the West Coast to celebrate my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary. They made the whole experience a special one, making a fuss on the day and generally spoiling them. It had a wonderful personal touch which could never be experienced in an hotel. The rooms are beautiful and there isnt enough space to describe the breakfast. You must try the porridge at least once. My only complaint is that nowhere else we stayed lived up to this high standard!!

“Nice place to stay in Dingle”

2/2 found this review helpful

My girlfriend and I arrived in Dingle with no reservations and quickly found Heaton's Guesthouse for a 2-night stay. The owner's were very friendly and accomodating. We were given the choice of two bedrooms, one with water (and parking lot) view or another on the upper level and garden view. Both rooms were furnished nicely but we chose the garden view. The King-size bed was in reality two full mattresses pushed together, which makes for an awkward seam/gap in the middle of the bed. The TV got 3 channels in total, which isn't a big deal, as we werent there to watch TV. The bathroom was very nice, with a great shower and tub. Breakfast was served each morning with a buffet of breads/fruit/cheeses as well as an option to order a cooked meal. We had delicious fruit pancakes.
The location of the guesthouse is great, as it is far enough away from town to be very quiet, but close enough to walk into Dingle to visit the pubs at night (about a 5 min walk). They have a laptop with wireless internet access that guests can use free of charge, which was a nice bonus for us.
Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed Heaton's guesthouse.

“Fantastic Break !”

Heaton's Guesthouse

Feb 10, 2008

My wife and I stayed at Heatons whilst on a long weekend to visit the Dingle peninsula at the end of January 2008. It was amazing. Nula , Cameron and Jackie were superb and couldnt do enough for us. We booked the junior suite which was spotlessly clean, large & comfortable and a perfect base to explore the area. Breakfasts are not to be missed ( start with porridge with drambuie, then anything else !! ) to set you up for the day. The local scenery is stunning. I cant recommend Heatons enough , We hope to get back whenever we get a chance for a "cheeky weekend" away again.

The owner and family were extremely friendly. We booked a jr. suite with a "waterview" which was deceiving. The bay, at low tide, is a muddy mess! When the tide comes in, then there's water and it's beautiful. We checked in a low tide and thought it was a joke but were pleasantly surprised to come back to the room in the evening and see water. I can't say a bad thing about the room, service or breakfast. Everything was absolutely wonderful.

“A Home Away From Home”

Heaton's Guesthouse

Heaton's Guesthouse was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. The room was spotless and the breakfasts were divine. The scones were the best ever! Our room faced the beautiful bay, which was just beyond the road. Although the road was busy and somewhat noisy, the excellent construction of the house blocked the noise. We would highly recommend Heaton's to anyone staying on the Dingle Peninsula. You will not find a more gracious host and hostess anywhere.
