Location
Bit of a hostel type of environment
Great place to stay, bed was comfortable and clean modern bathroom. Cannot beat the location and views!!
Only issue was the number of flies in our room. There were about 20, we killed them and then somehow an hour later there were 10 more. Window was closed so not sure how they came in.
This is a great property, even if it was arguably in the middle of nowhere from our point of view (we didn't have a car!). The nearest dining places are a short drive away. We did get to one (Paidi O Se's) that worked out just fine. There's also a shared kitchen that you can use. The Old Irish Farmhouse is unique in that you can get to see lambs being fed. It's also very close to some prehistoric sites. You can ask the local bus to stop right in front of the place, but it's really a place you should drive to. Among the many hosts we had in Ireland, I remember Barney and the lady at the shop as super friendly and helpful people (and that really means a lot, considering this is Ireland).
Vue, confort, cuisine accessible, parking
RAS
Super location outside the busy Dingle town Sea views and very quiet Active farm with sheep is a nice touch Great breakfast supplied
Nothing
Wir waren leider nur für einen kleinen Zwischenstopp zum schlafen dort,aber es ist wunderschön mit dem Blick auf's Meer aufzuwachen und die Schafe zu sehen. Einfach wunderschön.
Der Hund an der Leine,im Stall bei den Lämmern sah sehr traurig aus :(
This property is in an excellent location and Dingle is the most beautiful place to experience Ireland. The owner and staff were incredibly wonderful. The kitchen was filled with lots of juices, meats, cheeses, fruits, and plenty more breakfast options!
Having it next to the sheep farm made it feel dirty. Since you are sharing house with others not everyone is respectful in taking shoes off. The house is old and needs some upgrades. If you select the bedroom without a private bath, the bathroom is accessed through the kitchen so I felt bad for the people staying in that room.
A fabulous location, great self serve farmhouse kitchen, clean comfortable room, very welcoming friendly host. Would love to come back
It was a great place to stay and experience true Irish charm. Feeding the lambs was a treat and the view was incredible.
Ho adorato questo alloggio. Vista mozzafiato sull'oceano, camera confortevole e ricezione da parte dell'Host impeccabile. Il bagno molto pulito e con acqua bella calda come piace a me! Colazione in autonomia, ma in una bella cucina attrezzata e completa di tutto. Plus fantastico poter visitare gli agnellini nella stalla accanto. Una coccola pet.
e' un posto raggiungibile solo con mezzi privati e lontano da tutto. Per me affascinante anche per questo motivo. Per noi non è stato un problema solo va tenuto in considerazione per chi non vuole muoversi la sera.
La localisation est exceptionnelle tout comme la vue. La salle de bain n’était pas dans la chambre mais elle était facilement accessible et d’une propreté impeccable, récemment rénovée. L’accueil a été parfait, nous avons pu aller caresser les moutons. Le petit déjeuner est en libre service et très bien fourni.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable and in a beautiful location. The breakfast was plentiful and varied and there was plenty for all tastes.
Nothing to dislike, it’s fantastic.
I liked that it was on the sea/coast and the view was exceptional. The staff were extremely helpful and respectful. The lambs were right beside and was a nice surprise.
Knowing it was a tourist attraction would have helped planning what time to arrive in order to park the car properly. The parking did fill up fast. I did not like the carpets on the floor in the bedroom.
Beautiful place by the sea, excellent staff.
Far from town
Situation exceptionnelle en bord de falaise. Possibilité de voir et nourrir agneaux. Non loin de là, vieilles habitations préhistoriques en pierre.
vue magnifique, la ferme est située agréablement, non loin de Dingle, dans un environnement fabuleux en bord de mer. Les agneaux que nous avons pu caresser et nourrir sont adorables. La grande cuisine et la buanderie sont accessible à tout moment, le petit déjeuner en libre service est très généreux...les hôtes sont sympathiques et accueillants
d'autres voyageurs ont fait fonctionner le lave-linge en pleine nuit sans se préoccuper du bruit engendré, mais ce n'est pas du tout la faute des hôtes, peut- être qu'un petit mot sur la porte en demandant de respecter le silence serait le bienvenu
They had a great breakfast set up. Self service. You could even make your own eggs. Lots of younger and fresh fruit. Shared kitchen. We had the room with the private bath and it was updated.
It was a little musty but it is an old farm house. The bed was a little firm for us but we slept ok.
Hit & miss for me. The hits were definitely the clean room with an AWESOME view from the window. OH! And if you’ve heard about the older baby lamb option along the ring, THIS is the place! So the sign on the back of the bedroom door says where the baby lambs are and that you can access them at all times during your stay (including feeding them breakfast and dinner. Which was a huge bonus for me and definitely helped with the hits :)
Hit & miss for me. The miss was the communal style of everything. There was no staff ever so Breakfast was make yourself with everyone else staying there. Kitchen was clean and well stocked and all of the food available was perfectly fine. The other miss was the fact that my bedroom did not have an en suite bathroom.… But it was all the way downstairs, through the living room, and through the kitchen. I just found it a little awkward, always walking through other people, and not knowing if other people were using my bathroom, even though there was a sign on the door. For someone not very social, like me, I just felt it was very uncomfortable. But the room was great and having the baby lambs access accessible at all times was a huge hit. The view is also great.
We knew the location was somewhat remote and we were ok with this. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and new everything was and we liked the breakfast options. It was also special to wake up to the sea view.
We didn’t particularly like the lack of staff or welcome. It felt different to other B&Bs in Ireland. We also only got the check in message after we arrived. Most tourists probably don’t have mobile service after they have left their previous place, so maybe consider sending the instructions the night before. Also, we would have appreciated to know that the check in could have been after 8pm as the front door cannot be locked, so it doesn’t really matter what time you actually arrive!
La vue face à la mer. Le calme et les bébés moutons
Einsame Lage mit Blick auf das Meer. Kann vor dem Haus picknicken. Das Haus ist wie alle BB hellhörig, aber alle Gäste waren wohl auf der Suche nach Ruhe. Um 9 Uhr war es leise. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Frühstück konnte man sich in der gut ausgestatteten Küche zubereiten.Der Kühlschrank war voll!
Das Bad war vom Zimmer getrennt.ma musste eine Treppe nach unten gehen. War aber nicht schlimm. Wir haben durchgeschlafen. Bad war sehr sauber! Für 1 Nacht kein Problem!
La posizione meravigliosa
Per la nostra camera il bagno era esterno, ed era specificato, ma non ci aspettavamo che fosse in fondo alle scale e oltrepassando la cucina comune
L’equipament i menjar disponible a la cuina. L’habitació neta i ben equipada també. Les vistes i la interacció amb els xais.
El llit doble es petit però s’entén per l’espai disponible
Wonderful position, very quiet, silent and relaxing. Great chance to see and hold lambs and sheeps
Breakfast is self service with everything available but standard products from supermarket and available kitchen for cooking. Expecting something house made or coming from their farm but unfortunately not
La posizione e il fatto di poter dar da mangiare agli agnelli, la colazione con tantissimo assortimento
Mi aspettavo fosse tenuta meglio
Chambre propre avec jolie vue, environnement calme surtout en soirée malgré la proximité avec la route.
Accueil assez impersonnel, petit déjeuner façon auberge espagnol ( ok si les autres sont respectueux...).
La struttura è molto bella, sembra davvero di entrare in una fattoria dei vecchi tempi, con moquette e arredo tipico. Come sottofondo il belare degli agnelli e le onde dell’oceano. Camera pulita (la nostra era al piano superiore e aveva il bagno privato al piano di sotto). La vista è davvero impagabile. Consiglio di svegliarsi presto per godere a pieno della pace di questo posto.
L’unica nota negativa è che se si apre il frigo per la colazione si trovano succhi, latte, marmellate ecc. già aperte. Ma per il resto c’è tanta scelta, basta adeguarsi!
the view and interacting with the lambs was great! So thrilled to have one of only 2 places we stayed in all of Ireland in which the window opened!! And there were washcloths! Much appreciated.
it's easy to miss the driveway hurtling down the road. And GPS sent us completely wrong at 1st. Wasted 40 min. on tiny farm lanes. Keep in mind that rooms are on 2nd floor up a very narrow, steep set of stairs. We do not travel light, so it was a bit challenging, but we managed.
La struttura si trova in una posizione davvero ottima e le camere sono pulite, moderne e confortevoli. Un plus davvero speciale è la presenza degli agnellini nella struttura accanto: è possibile andare a trovarli liberamente, un’esperienza davvero bellissima e particolare! La colazione self-service è molto ben fornita e offre un’ampia scelta. Ci tornerei sicuramente e la consiglio vivamente!
Le séjour s'est bien passé. La vue depuis l'auberge et le calme. La siutation géographique
Un petit point négatif : nous avons eu une salle de bain privative mais au rez de chaussé ( à coté de la salle du petit déjeuné) et notre chambre était située au 1er étage
Vue imprenable sur la côte, profiter du calme sur la côte après le départ des touristes
Accueil bref, literie, mauvaise insonorisation avec chambre du haut, va et viens des touristes pour les animaux de la ferme
La ubicació
D'una banda els matalassos eren massa tous. D'altra l'esmorzar self service es suposa que ha de ser suficient per tots els clients. No ha estat així, potser perquè algun client aprofita el plantejament per fer-se els entrepans per dinar. El resultat és que un dels dies no quedava pa per torrar.
Vue sur la mer de la chambre au 1er étage Excellente isolation des chambres Parking devant l'établissement. Lits très confortables La cuisine très grande, ouverte à toutes heures dont les produits alimentaires sont renouvelés réguliérement : oeufs , jambon, yaourts, pain thé, café, camomille.
La peinture de la rampe d'escalier rose est à refaire
La situation de l'établissement.
Nous avions une grande chambre familiale avec 2 pièces séparées pour dormir. Le petit déjeuner en self service était très bien. L’accès à la grande cuisine équipée toute la journée est un vrai plus.
The host and the view.
None
Piękne położenie nad wodą, cudowny widok. Możliwość zjedzenia śniadania przed domkiem. Owce z możliwością karmienia. Doskonała opieka gospodarzy. Śniadanie w formie do samodzielnego przygotowania z produktów znajdujących się w kuchni.
We met great people staying there as well as the staff
Great location. Amazing views. Extremely clean and friendly staff. Feeding the lambs was lovely addition.
El enclave es precioso y la granja con las ovejas y terneros es algo curioso. Personal agradable
La habitación 4 no tiene baño dentro sino en la cocina. Se le considera privado pero la gente tiene acceso y tienes que salir de la habitación y bajar a la planta baja para usarlo. El desayuno es un sírvete tú mismo sin nada a destacar. La relación calidad precio no me ha parecido ajustada.
Le site est vraiment extraordinaire et du coup, il y a beaucoup de monde sur place la journée.
Trop de voitures
La localisation, la vue, être au cœur de la ferme, l accueil.
The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was completely stocked with every kind of food you can imagine for the guests to feast on at any time of day. We were able to make hot food late at night, and cook eggs, and enjoy a variety of breads, fresh fruit, yogurts, and lunch meat for breakfast. We were treated with an experience of being able to feed bahhing lambs warm formula from a bottle when we arrived in the evening. There are Beehive Huts in the backyard to view, and the location is literally on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean overlooking Skellig Michael in the distance and beautiful tugboats passing by. The view of the stars out of the skylight at night were breathtaking! We can’t say enough about the accommodations at the old Irish farmhouse. Make sure to visit the little gift shop to grab a souvenir while you’re there.
The staircase was extremely narrow and steep, so we recommend that you do not bring your whole suitcase into the room, but rather just bring what you need for the night.
The view from the bedroom - Skellings
The view! And the lambs
Nothing
My rental vehicle had a worn-out emergency brake and started rolling down the cliff. Aiden and neighbors immediately came out late in the evening, braced my car, towed it, and made sure I was comfortable and safe while I called for a replacement. This was a nerve-wracking experience that was completely soothed by the hospitality and competency of the people who run the farmhouse. What could have ruined my trip ended up being a memory of warmth and safety that I will never forget.
O local é privilegiado pela bela vista e tranquilidade. Quarto confortável, café da manhã ( self-service) excelente!
Le cadre donner le biberon aux agneaux la cuisine à dispo
Un peu chaud dans les chambres
Wer es einsam und rau mag - perfekt! Die Zimmer sind einfach und praktisch gehalten, es gibt eine Gemeinschaftsküche, wo sich jeder aus dem Kühlschrank das rausnehmen mag, was er möchte. Hat ein bisschen was von Jugendherberge, aber genial. Es gibt Obst, Müsli, Tee, Kaffee, Saft, Milch, Wurst, Käse, Joghurt, Brotsorten und Eier! Die Lage ist unglaublich, Meer und Nirgendwo, dazu wollige Lämmer, eine Tasse Tee und wenn man Glück hat einen unglaublichen Blick.
It had a wide variety of choices and large eating area inside or outside.
Nothing
der Blick auf das Meer vom Zimmer und den Sitzmöglichkeiten vor dem Haus, die Nähe zum Slea Head und das reichhaltige Angebot zum Frühstück mit Selbstbedienung
Nice location
The room was advertised with an external private bathroom However it didn't mention that the bedroom was upstairs and the bathroom was downstairs IN the kitchen and I mean IN the kitchen NOT beside the kitchen IN the kitchen!!!! The bathroom was NOT AT ALL PRIVATE!! BE AWARE!!!!
The owners and staff were so friendly! There was so many things to do/see right on the property and also a short drive away. So close to Dingle town center, but far enough away to experience quiet peaceful nights looking out at the ocean. The room was spacious for a family of 5. The kids (and adults) got to feed/hold the lambs. We had access to multiple beehive huts. Incredible!
We stayed for two nights. Everything was great. No formal check-in, you make your own breakfast (the kitchen has all the food you need). Kept clean and our room was nice and spacious. We met the owners at the sheep farm next door. They have cute sheep and an adorable shepherd dog. The area is amazing, right in front of the ocean.
No problems at all.
Stayed here before and as always amazing location, spotless and great array of breakfast etc in kitchen
Lovely farm stay with great facilities for a convenient stay. The lamb interaction was a highlight for us since we travelled with a 13 year old who really enjoyed it. The location is great for exploring Dingle.
Die Lage ist super, direkt am Meer. Parkplatz direkt an der Unterkunft. Herzlicher Vermieter. Die Baby-Lämmer.
Ablage Flächen im Zimmer bzw. Bad könnten etwas mehr sein.
Locatie
Slaapkamer bovenverdieping, badkamer begane grond.
Etablissement propre et confortable et calme (au bord de la route mais aucune circulation), très bien situé pour visiter la péninsule de Dingle , je n'ai pas pu profiter de la vue en raison du mauvais temps mais elle doit être magnifique , le lendemain j'ai eu beau temps et la pointe de de cette péninsule reste mon coup de cœur. Petit déj en self service copieux avec possibilité de se faire des œufs.
L'attraction consistant a donner le biberon au moutons (pas bête comme idée!) semble bien fonctionner et attirer les touristes , ça fait bizarre tout ce monde devant la ferme au moment de partir mais ça n'est pas vraiment un point négatif , on peut profiter du spectacle ils sont mignons. Sinon ce n'est pas précisé que le petit dej est en self service , je l'avais vu dans les commentaires mais d'autres personnes présentes étaient désappointées de devoir se servir.
Absolutely everything about this place is right. Quietly by the coast and sea I have not been to suvh a calming place for a long time. And of course the lambs...ohh boi..
there is nothing to complain absolutely fabulous location and staff.
Huone, merinäköala, sijainti.
En ole vakuuttunut eläinten olosuhteista. Nuori hoitaja teki parhaansa, mutta silti.
Such an amazing place to stay! Beautiful views and the lambs were a major highlight.
Lo más destacable al llegar fueron las espectaculares vistas desde el alojamiento. El servicio de desayuno super completo y con variedad. La habitación espaciosa y muy comoda. Y la comunicación con el personal del alojamiento fue fluido.
Really comfortable and quiet B&B. Fully equipped kitchen and loads of food for breakfasts. The rooms were clean and the views were incredible. Will stay again
Cute room, nice staff, gorgeous location and getting to spend time with the baby lambs.
Good choices for breakfast. Amazing view and nice bed! Great to visit the beehive huts and the lambs.
Det känns så autentiskt. Precis intill Atlanten med slående utsikt. Så mysigt med alla lamm! Enkelt att köra in till Dingle. God frukost buffé!
