Shores Country House Bed & Breakfast

Enjoyable overnight stay in a well maintained property with helpful and friendly host and her staff.

No expense was spared here. Our room was tiny but felt extremely plush with new light carpeting, fluffy white pillows and bedding. Tea and cakes tucked away in the cabinet for us. The dining room is very elegant and the food amazing, I had the smoked salmon with eggs and the portion was enough for two people. My aunt had the waffles and said they were the best she ever had.

A perfect stay. The property and view are delightful and the staff were superb and warmly welcomed us. Definitely a must-stay when visiting the Dingle peninsula.

The location and breakfast were magnificent. The room was newly renovated and was so clean. Would definitely recommend this place.

We had a lovely stay. Annette was so welcome as were all the staff. Accomodation was lovely and immaculately clean. Breakfast was top class. Will be back again. Lovely gardens.

This quiet property is a little off the beaten path yet close to everything on Dingle Peninsula. It has a beautiful view of the bay. It is very affordable, the rooms have nice touches and the breakfast is wonderful. This is our third time to stay there and we love the staff.

My family and I spent a week touring Ireland, staying in 2 hotels and 4 B&B's in Dublin, near Cork, in Castlegregory, in Shannon, and near Galway. Without question, our best experience was here at the Shores B&B in Castlegregory! Annette and her staff made us feel right at home. We loved the relaxing views of the ocean in front and the peaceful hills in the back. The ocean view from the dining room is amazing, and breakfast was above and beyond anywhere else we stayed. Castlegregory is the perfect place to get away from the busy city streets and walk the beach or take a leisurely drive through the mountains. The sights through Conor pass and along the Dingle peninsula are breathtaking. We hope to revisit Ireland and next time book a longer stay at the Shores B&B.

Absolutely gorgeous place. We had a small apartment that had everything you could need. The proprietress was great and the view is amazing. We highly recommend this place!!

Absolutely fantastic. Hated to leave. We couldn’t have been treated better and the house is gorgeous.

Great trip to Ireland, would strongly recommend.Very interesting place to visit.

I recently stayed in this property and it excelled all of my expectations, from the moment i arrived i was made feel welcome, the propeery itself is exceptional, spotlessly clean, and has everuthing you could wish for, inc.complimentary homemade fruitbread in your room, its not often that i am speeches but the views from my room were spectacular and with the most stunning beach less than 5 minutes away you can not go wrong with The shores guesthouse. Theyre are also fantastic restaurants close by and the beautuful dingle is a short drive away Annette and Jose made exceptional efforts to make sure all my needs where met whilst being lucky enough to stay in this wonderful guest house

Couldn’t have been a nicer place to stay. The Shores is like a 5 Star accommodation. Annette is a class act. You can see by all the details in the lovely B&B. Our room had all the comforts of home. It was squeaky clean. Breakfast was incredible. Simply cannot say enough about this beautiful place. The ocean is right across the street so the views are just incredible. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We cannot wait to return!

Lovely setting and rooms. Annette could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Breakfast was fantastic!

Where to begin. Spectacular setting. Ocean view past patchwork pastures leading down to the shore. So clean, beautifully furnished, and decorated that when I opened the door to walk in I hesitated. Actually considered removing my shoes. The breakfasts were superb. Our flight out required us to leave very early on our final day. The evening before our last day we informed the owner, Annette, that we want to check out and arrange payment that evening. She was happy to oblige and asked if she could give us a breakfast tray that evening. Sounded good to us. About ten minutes later she returned with cereal, fruit, brown bread, butter, a small drip coffee pot ready for hot water, and a thermos style carafe of milk. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Annette and her staff are wonderful. If you will be on or near the Dingle peninsula you must consider the Shores Country House Bed & Breakfast.

This our second year staying at The Shores. Everything is perfect. We travel extensively and stay at a myriad of B&Bs. The Shores is by far the best, in all categories. The location (views) the owner (Annette) and her fantastic staff and the cleanliness of the rooms coupled with the truly “Best breakfast in Ireland” make for an unforgettable stay. You would do yourself well to stay here and enjoy their every attention to detail. Truly an enjoyable experience......

Had a wonderful experience! This B&B is very delightful.

This was the most elegant place to stay, from decor to service. Annette was so pleasant and accommodating. Location was great with a gorgeous view and only 20 minutes or so from Dingle.

Beautiful properyy, great room, great hospitality,wonderful breakfasy.

Great location and excellent breakfast.

Fantastic B&B! Annette is a gracious and welcoming hostess. Our rooms were clean, fresh, well-proportioned. Breakfast was simply amazing -- food was absolutely delicious, service was fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!

Beautiful location. Very warm and friendly. Lovely breakfast and immaculate condition. Would definitely stay again and can highly recommend it.

Very comfortable stay and lovely staff. We will go back

What a lovely place!! The hostess was so kind and attentive, the room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean, and the location was great - very quiet and close to Dingle and the Slea Head Drive. Excellent service, elegant decor, and such a warm welcome. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Everything about this place was wonderful. Annette is a sweet heart and her breakfast was outstanding. Her apple cake is to die for. Yummy.

i wish we had more time at this hotel, it was absolutely stunning. i've never seen a place so clean or well kept. the staff couldnt be friendlier or more helpful. like something out of a hallmark movie. would definitely stay here again!

Lovely B&B, but a bit too small for a family of 4 as far as seating. Room wasn't ready when we arrived and they only accept cash, so we had to drive 4 miles into the nearest town to get cash. Very clean and nice ocean view.

Host is friendly. Overall accommodations suited us well with kitchen. Excellent bed linens and comfort. Host did not allow us use of the heating system and instead required us to use a small, noisy portable unit. Place somewhat dusty with lots of tchotchke items that could be cleared away and collect less dust.

Very welcoming, smallish but lovely room. Great breakfast.

Probably the best bed and breakfast I ever stayed at. Pictures online don’t do it justice wish I stayed there longer .

Fabulous stay excellent host and staff who put themselves out for you! Can't wait to go again ☺

This B&B was one of the highlights of our stay in Ireland. We had a beautiful view of the beach from our room. Breakfast was divine. Annette’s knowledge of the area was great and useful. We would definitely stay here again and again.

Could not express how much Annette has an eye for details, everything was just perfect, great and comfortable room, with a great ocean view. From all the recommendations about places to go and great conversation to the AMAZING food and morning on her beautiful house. At the end she also gave us an Easter Egg, so attention to detail is what I took from that awesome stay.

This is a wonderful place to stay -- a rather palatial B and B -- quiet and exclusive.

This B&B is a gem! The owner is wonderful and as welcoming as you could ask for. The accommodations were perfect and the breakfast was spectacular.

Great hospitality. Great food and service.

2 night stay with family, the Shores is spotless and the breakfast set us up for the day

Our stay at Shores Country House B&B was nothing short of fantastic. It was the cleanest and best maintained place we have ever stayed at, including 4 and 5 star hotels. The rooms are charming without being too cheesy. The owner and the employees are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was simply amazing. The owner asked us what we want from many more choices than your usual breakfast buffet and she improvised to cater even more to our taste. I'm lactose intolerant and to my great surprise she was completely prepared for that. She was able to prepare dishes for me that I'm never able to eat in any other hotel or restaurant. The presentation and quality of the food were fist class too. We loved it so much that we ended up staying an extra day.

This is the nicest B&B I have ever stayed at, very well maintained, the owner Annette was charming and helpful and friendly. Note- Cash only - no credit cards

Wonderful experience at The Shores. My wife raved about the crisp and clean sheets. We thoroughly the visit with only a couple of very minor annoyances. The parking was very limited, especially when the staff was there. Some cars had to be moved in order to get out. We did have some issues with hot water and the radiators not working reliably. That led us to the next issue--the lack of management presence. There was no way that we could determine to get in touch with Annette if you had problems. No phone, text, email, nothing. Again, these are Very Minor issues and we would not hesitate to stay here again if we are in the area.

This place has an amazing view, tasteful interior, and you get to Dingle via the beautiful O'Connor Pass. Annette is simply a delight and a very talented cook. I just adore her. She was kind enough to share her brown bread recipe which is the best we had in Ireland. I've been trying to find the ingredients in the US so I hope the outcome will compare to hers!

Annette is a wonderful host in her beacutiful home. Breakfast was plentiful, fresh and delicious. Everything requires driving to get to but that would be true wherever you stay in this area. Great view of the ocean across the road. Rent a small car for narrow roads!

The owner Annette is fabulous! She is warm, friendly, fun and very accommodating. If I lived in the area, we would be great friends! The breakfast was just wonderful. Her lovely home is spotless; beds ultra comfortable, great bathrooms/showers, and great views from the windows. I hope to return to the Dingle Peninsula someday and would definitely stay at Shores Country House. We wish we could have stayed longer! Many thanks to you, Annette. We just loved meeting you!

What a lovely B&B. Annette was a wonderful host; food was great; beautiful home in an amazing location. Highly recommended. Only thing is that they don't accept credit cards so make sure you have cash or you will have to take a quick stop into Castlegregory for an ATM.

We found and picked this lovely B&B at the last minute after seeing other reviews. We are so happy with our choice and would/will choose it again and again! The room was actually a small cabin with a little living room, full kitchen with a washing machine then a deep soak tub and comfy room upstairs. How lovely to get up and see the ocean in front of us and the cutest little backyard. Then, there's Annette. Such a lovely person who cooked us The Most Amazing Breakfast!! Despite having family in town she was so attentive to us and made us feel so welcome. This is truly a special place.

Shores country House was a luxurious place to stay while we enjoyed Ireland for the first time. On more than 1 occasion we misplaced ourselves as we drove around the beautiful area. When we asked for directions, the locals knew exactly where we were going and who our host was. They know her by name and respect her business very much. Outstanding, comfortable service and stay; beautiful sea side view and location. Exceptional on all counts.

What a fantastic place! Out-of-this-world everything! This is one of the higher-end B&B's available on the Dingle Peninsula, but well worth it (and not really that expensive). Annette and her team do a phenomenal job every day. She is quick to help with sightseeing ideas and helping make arrangements for taxis if necessary. While the location is pretty quiet overall, it's still just a few minutes from the village of Castlegregory, which has a few nice, quaint spots for your dining/pub needs. You definitely don't HAVE to go to the town of Dingle if you don't want. Again, great place, and we'd love to return in the future!

Annette was very kind and welcoming. The bed was super comfortable and luxurious. The breakfast was an incredible assortment of delicious food. The food kept coming!!

I had a fantastic stay at The Shores and would highly recommend it to friends. My room was beautifully decorated and comfortable with everything I needed to hand. The views were amazing and Annette and her colleagues provided a very friendly welcome and a delicious breakfast. I would love to go back....

Great breakfast. Beautiful location. Great view on the beach.

This is by far the best lodging choice of our 8-day trip in Ireland. A charming country house with a nice garden in the back, this B & B is very close to the shore. Our bed room has a small window with a spectacular view of the sea, the bathroom is probably the cleanest we have ever been to, including all the Japanese hotels my wife and I have stayed. The owner Annette and her staff were very helpful and friendly. The delicious breakfast is served in an elegantly decorated dinner room. The location is a bit remote, but this is what we came to Dingle peninsular for, it is a good starting point for a peninsular driving tour. By the way, driving through Conner Pass was exciting, and not as scary as locals led me to believe. The only downside, the WIFI speed was a bit slow, maybe because we had a full house during our stay.

The owner met us upon arrive and was welcoming and very helpful.

The house was beautiful, the bed very comfortable. The food was delicious. But the view was stunning! This is the best B&B I have ever stayed in.I would come back anytime!

My husband and I loved this B&B! It was on the water not too far from town of Castlegregory which we would recommend Gregory's for dinner. We drove the dingle peninsula from there which took approx 1.5 hours with stopping and driving with caution in foggy weather. Annette and the rest of the staff were lovely, giving us great recommendation for dinner and how to get a around town or best way to get to our next destination. And last but not least the homemade breakfast is out of this world. Please don't leave without ordering the French toast. Thank you and highly recommended.

Great breakfast. Very appointed accommodations. Mary was a great host. She was cooking, but took time to come into the dinning area to great everyone. The 2 ladies that helped Mary were very pleasant and friendly.

We stayed for two nights, and would have loved to stay longer. This B&B is situated beautifully across the road from a gorgeous endless stretch of sand, perfect for evening stroll or morning run. Breakfasts were *amazing*, and the hosts were wonderfully helpful. We stayed in the room with a little balcony looking out at the sea.

This immaculate beautifully decorated home is in a very picturesque location. The owners of this B&B were very personable and amazing. The breakfast was fantastic with a great presentation. I hope to be back some time.

An elegant facility that overlooks some of Dingle's most beautiful beaches! Its appointments are flawless, both inside and out, the most luxurious we've seen in 17 years of visits to Ireland. Our hosts, Annette & Patrick, are natives from the region. They most graciously helped us find distant relatives and ancestral homes--something we never dreamed could happen! Add to this their fabulous breakfasts (5 courses offered) and you'll know why we'll surely return to this breathtaking site. I want to live there myself!

It was great, staff were wonderful, breakfast was best of our trip

We were extremely upset that the owner required us to pay cash for our stay. We thought going through hotels.com we were able to charge our stay. This did not happen with any other of our hotel.com bookings. The owner said it is stated on her website. No where did we see it on hotels.com. This was very stressful because we don't travel with large amounts of cash. Other than this unfortunate occurance, it was a lovely B&B filled with antiques. Gourmet breakfasts were served in a beautiful dining room. I would stay there again only if I could charge the room.

Very nice b and b. The owner is very friendly. The views are amazing. Right along the shoreline. The room was very clean and very comfortable. The food was also delicious. It is right on the road for connors pass so a great location.

We were warmly greeted and made very welcome. We were grateful that on the morning of our departure, which was very early, alternative arrangements were made for our breakfast. Thank you, Annette.

The best - Annette, staff and family incredibly hospitable and accommodating, wonderful place, my 11-year old daughter rated it the "best breakfast she's ever had."

The house was beautiful inside and out! Had a great view of the shore and they served a wonderful breakfast! We drove to Spillanes bar for dinner which is a must stop. The service and food were great after a long day of travel. Can't wait to come back again and see more of the beach experience.

Absolutely ideal in every way. The breakfast, alone, is worth the trip!

THIS is how I define B&B perfection! The desserts alone are worth staying here, and everything else was just as great. I love what they are doing at The Shores Country House :)

Annette was such an attentive host. The food was outrageously delicious and the view was beautiful. This B & B is so beautifully decorated. We loved our stay.

We stayed at the Shores Country House during our trip around Ireland and it was our only B&B experience in Ireland and we were not disappointed. Annette, the owner of the B&B, was very friendly and welcoming. We had two rooms for one night because there were six of us traveling together, 3 adults and 3 children. The rooms were a good size and well decorated and very clean. The breakfast was amazing and the staff that helped with breakfast were great. It was an overall great experience at a B&B in Ireland.

Everything about the Shores was top notch. Beautiful room with a spectacular view. Great breakfast. Beautiful gardens. Helpful hostess.

Annette was wonderful, food was exquisite and the room comfy.

Very pleasant stay. At first The Shores seemed to be on the wrong (non-Dingle) side of the Dingle peninsula. After driving thru Dingle, I realized how uncrowded the Castlegregory areas were in comparison and that there were no tour buses. Same scenery. Better prices. Friendly, uncrowded pubs (O'Connor's in Cloghane is worth a visit). Sold me.

The owner and staff are lovely. Beautiful evening meal and breakfasts.

Lovely accommodation, delicious breakfast, beautiful views, spotless cleanliness, charming owner, nice rooms. A little remote, but that helped make it special and unique. One drawback is not taking credit cards. Will stay there again!

I have tears in my eyes and goosebumps just thinking about this place. Dingle is a super fun little, buzzing town and this beautiful B&B is located about 25 mins from Dingle on the peninsula. Let me tell you about the drive to Castlegregory...breathtaking. Everyone comes to Ireland for their own reasons, I found what I was looking for here. Annette is an angel, and was so sweet to us. Our room was exquisite (I expect a lot) and we were more than pleased. We stayed in Ireland for 7 nights/8 days and the breakfast there at The Shores was the very best...and we stayed in 4 & 5 star hotels/castles!!

Absolute perfection in every sense of the word! The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable and serene, and the views of the Atlantic were breathtaking. The breakfast was divine, with a wide array of dishes to choose from. Best of all, however, was the lovely hostess, Annette. She is simply the most delightful person you can imagine, making every guest feel like a lifelong friend coming for a visit in her home. Thank you for a perfect holiday!

We loved our stay at Shores Country House B & B! The property, grounds and view were gorgeous. We stayed in the attached apartment/suite. It was comfortable and private. We both did bump our heads a couple of times in the bathroom because of the slanted ceiling. Annette was kind and helpful. We would definitely go back.
