“Great view; Okay BnB”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2007

We arrived at this B&B a little late, but had called ahead to let the hostess know and it was no problem. We were given a cheery greeting and showed to our room. While the B&B has wonderful views of Ventry Bay, our room was in the back and the double-pane window was fogged up inside, so we couldn't enjoy the view from the room. The room was on the small side, but not tiny. The bathroom was fairly small, had loose tiles in the floor and a rusty handle in the shower stall. The decorations were nothing to write home about. Beds were acceptably comfortable.

After settling in a bit, we went back out front and enjoyed the view from a bench in front of the dinning room's bay windows. As I said, the view is the main selling point here. It's relaxing and quite lovely. As a sign of the overall up-keep problem with the B&B, however, the small fence at the edge of the front was falling down and bits were missing. Another plus for me was a wonderful dog named Lucky. Lucky greeted us with a bow every time we saw her.

We had ordered scrambled eggs for breakfast and our eggs were watery. The hostess was busy trying to deal with a crying daughter, so perhaps her breakfasts are usually better.

In short, while I can't heartily recommend this B&B, I wouldn't caution against it either.

“Great B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2006

Torann Na dTonn means sound of the waves and that's a good description of this beautiful B&B. The home is situated overlooking the water and distant mountains, with palm trees and beautiful gardens. The breakfast was delicious, especially the brown bread. Jacqueline was both friendly and helpful with our plans for touring around the spectacular DIngle Peninsula. Be sure to say hello to "Peggy" when you visit, she is the friendly donkey that brayed for attention each time my daughter walked out of the house.

“Beautiful views, good breakfast, teeny tiny rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2006

It's true, the views from this B&B of dingle penninsula are truly spectacular - these views are from the front of the house, the kitchen and rooms with front window. Our room had a view our the side of the house looking at some roof, some grass and a side patio area with trash bins. Our room had barely enough room to scoot between walls and beds - a two room deal with a tiny bathroom in between. While the breakfast was good, given that this was our first room after arriving in Ireland having no room to move around or spread out and being so jet lagged, it really was not the most comfortable first night, and we discovered after a 2 week visit around Ireland that the breakfast is pretty much standard and similar to most breakfasts - not to say that it wasn't tasty as it was, but not outstanding in anyway. However, I will say that the brown soda bread here was the freshest and tastiest. I learned to love that stuff!! If we had booked this room for more than one night I would have been disappointed, but for our first quick night as a staging point it was fine.
