Absolutely Recommend!
Pros:

Everything was great, including the location, breakfast, and the staff. It is a short walk into town, and we were given great recommendations for dinner, drinks, and music. In the morning, Dermot made the BEST breakfast porridge! After breakfast, we took a tour with Dermot around the peninsula. We learned so much more than we could have on our own, and he navigated the roads like a pro. He has a great personality and was really fun to get to know. Our stay at the Lighthouse in Dingle was one of the highlights of our trip.

Cons:

There were no negatives related to the Lighthouse. I only wish we had been able to spend more than 1 night there, but our plans did not allow for it.

Love the Lighthouse
Pros:

We arrived a few minutes before midnight because we were involved in an automobile accident when leaving Belfast.Since we lost an entire day of vacation Dermot was kind enough to "find" an extra night for us so we could make up lost time in Dingle.
I highly recommend the lighthouse...beautiful location, excellent service and flexibility with breakfast times and personal recommendations for local activities. THANK YOU DERMOT!!

Cons:

Liked everything!!

Wonderful stay and amazing hosts!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at The Lighthouse. We were greeted by Jack. He was incredibly friendly and hospitable. He even moved us to a room on the bottom floor. The room was very clean and cozy with a super comfortable bed. I loved that we could do laundry. The B&B is about a 10 min walk into town.
Highly recommend!

Cons:

My only complaint is that we had no hot water one morning for some reason.

Pros:

The host was incredibly friendly, the location was phenomenal, and the room was clean and well sized for our group.

Lovely owner Dermot - lovely property and great location - definitely recommend staying!
Pros:

Lovely location, super easy to get into Dingle! Lovely and comfortable rooms and Dermot was great - gave us great tips to visit the Kilkee cliffs which were beautiful! Plenty of parking! We didn’t have breakfast but can imagine it was as good because of the standard of the rest of our stay.

A couple of little hiccups were experienced, but Dermot was very lovely and the rooms were great.
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay there overall. Dermot was lovely and friendly. Rooms were great, beds were comfy, towels and shower items were nice. We would return in the future.

Cons:

Didn’t realise that the hotel was unattended right up until (just past) check in time. Perhaps it was an irregular situation, but our family popped by a number of times in the lead up to check in and the doors were locked and there was no answer on the mobile twice. When we called the third time at check in time, the phone was then answered and we just had to wait a little while longer for Dermot to arrive to let us in.

Also at the beginning of breakfast time, a few guests were left waiting for bakery items as apparently there were some road works that caused Dermot to be delayed in arriving at the hotel. He topped up the bakery items as soon as he got there, but then I’m unsure if that meant the bakery items that we ate (as we were the second group to arrive at breakfast) were leftovers from the day prior?

The location was just a little too far for our family to walk into town (senior with bad knees in our group).

Incomprehensibly high rating
Pros:

Proximity to town

Cons:

Booked 2 of 8 rooms. Neither with any view. Called the Lighthouse - why? Basic accommodation with strong smell of cheap air freshener. Bathroom out of the ark. Very poor breakfast - not as sold to us
