The vue from the breakfast room and from the living room is just amazing, facing the ocean, with the Irish sheeps and green land just behind. Delicious breakfast. Cosy atmosphere, lovely decoration with a lot of attention to... More

My wife and I loved this B&B. Very friendly hosts, great breakfast and stunning views. It was very easy to take a cab into town and getting back at night. Comfortable bed and well appointed rooms. More

I was recommended to this B & B by a family member who had visited 10 years ago. He said it was a pleasant place. In every way I was totally satisfied. The innkeepers Clodagh and Dara were very friendly without being so friendly that I wanted to withdraw. The rooms were charming and comfortable. They opened onto a view... More

Our rooms were both clean and comfortable with wooden floors and a general feeling of tranquillity. The breakfasts were outstanding and our hosts Clodagh and Darragh... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Dolphin Beach House in June and were so sad to leave. It is well worth a few nights to take in the beach, gardens and lovely view. The establishment is beautiful and patios outside of each room were a big plus. The owner was very accommodating and even helped us with problem phone... More
