Sean, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Spent 2 nights here. It was a great experience, and loved the breakfast!
Cliff, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely stay with Liz at the Anvil. She was a wealth of knowledge each morning helping up prepare for our days of adventuring. Comfortable quiet room with lovely breakfast each morning. And the Anvil restaurant was a great end to busy days!
Emily, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our host Liz was very helpful, lots of advice about what to see, and we even had a brief Irish instruction. Very lovely. This was a great base for visiting Dingle peninsula. Breakfast was great, we enjoyed the pub, and there is also a nice pub next door.
Lauren, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice roadside pub. Food was good in evening and breakfast. Service in the evening was iffy. Most staff didn’t know how to check us in. Room was small but clean and fine and good for one night
Jill, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful place with room having character and appeal. Owner Liz went out of her way to help, give directions and share some of her stories. Traffic along the road outside might be a concern for light sleepers and need for open windows to keep cool at night increases that risk. Lovely place perfect for our needs!
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The owners are very knowledgeable and willing to help with advice. Thank you so much for the recommendations.
Bridget, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved it here! Instead of being handed a key, we were shown to our room, which was so cozy and welcoming. Both dinner and breakfast felt like home cooked meals rather than restaurant food. But the best part was the personal attention we received from our patroness Liz who shared stories and advice that truly touched our hearts and showed us the real Ireland. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the Anvil.
Maria, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hostess and owner. Really personable and great breakfast the next morning! Would highly recommend as close to the ring of Carrie and some braid advice from the owner!
Mary Ellen, 1-night trip

Marie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Liz (owner) was delightful and very accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved this place. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the food was spectacular and the bed comfortable. The location is right on the road, so there is some road noise, but not enough to disturb my sleep. We would certainly stay here again!
Rita, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A solid B&B, very clean. Very quiet despite the bar on ground floor. The restaurant on the ground floor had great food. The owner was very friendly and provided great tips on places to visit on Dingle peninsula.
Ean, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Check in was not very welcoming or informative. We weren't told about how to get in during bar closing times with a key in a Lockbox. Breakfast is only served between 9 & 10am with No Flexibility. We were offered a sandwich to take away instead, which looked disgusting so didn't eat it. Also, we stayed 2 nights and on the 2nd day we returned to the property at noon (the bar was closed) so we couldn't get in, it was all locked up. The entrance door for the accommodation is different to the one to the bar. Only by chance we saw someone inside and knocked on the window. She said you can't check in until 4pm, but after explaining we'd check in the previous day, she let us in, but with no apology. When we explained this to the manager the next day, he asked : didn't anyone give us the Lockbox Number ? After we said no, he shrugged his shoulders with no apology. Our room was average at best, and the mattress was very uncomfortable. Would not recommend.

Liz is a great hostess and serves a great breakfast!

Kimberly, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very friendly and clean, comfy, and charming, but the bar closed up early in May.
Carmen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was the perfect place for visiting Killarney and Dingle. The owner Liz was extremely kind and friendly, she gave us local recommendations and told us the most wonderful stories. The room was extremely clean and well kept, restaurant has fantastic food options and bar is lively at night. Peaceful area but only 15 minutes to Dingle and 30 mins to Killarney!
