Devane's is located uphill from the waterfront. My husband and I had taken BusEiranne to Dingle and were able to easily find it on foot (as soon as we understood that Main Street turns into Goat Street, Devane's address!). Since we "hoofed it" everywhere, we got lots of exercise going up and down the streets.

Geraldine was our hostess and gave us all the information we needed to get started on our two-day stay. Our comfortable ensuite room was spacious and also overlooked the water. The delicious breakfasts were served in a lovely room larger than most of the dining areas in other bed and breakfasts we had visited.

Geraldine made us feel very special especially when she introduced her sons to us (though they may have thought differently)! She gave us a glimpse of what was going on in the town about schools, for instance, and she is someone who obviously enjoys her business.

Devane's is not right on the beaten path, so I imagine in the summer it might be a bit quieter than lodging nearer the water and town center.

She told us about an organized tour, with Tim Collins, of the Dingle Peninsula, which we booked. It was fantastic. I can't imagine driving the Peninsula the first time and getting all the tremendous history and archaeological information he offered. Also, there were times on the drive when the van we were in literally touched the fuschia bushes on both sides of the road, which shows how narrow the road is in places.

If we're fortunate enough to go back to Dingle, we will definitely stay at Devane's.

This was our first stop on our trip to Ireland. It was me, my girlfriend and my parents. We booked 2 rooms a couple months in advance so, no problems there. Obviously though, if you plan on staying June-Aug, you need to book in advance. The rooms were small, but cozy. Not TOO small mind you, they were just right. We had a great view of the bay from our 2nd floor room. Our hostess was very nice, the breakfasts pretty good and the accomodations very comfy. One room was en-suite, while the other one had its own private bathroom nearby. The separate bathroom was quite roomy. I know some people don't like the idea of not having a bathroom connected to their bedroom so, if this is you, I would recommend clarifying that when you book. Other than that, this was an ideal B&B to stay in. Like everyone else said, a 3-min walk from the center of the (insanely cute) town. Too many other Americans though, but what do you expect in late June? Stil retained it's charm. To really experience this part of the country though, rent a car and drive the Dingle Peninsula yourself. Skip the organized tours. Happy travelling!

We didn´t pre-book our B&B in Dingle. We arrived in Dingle at 6pm on April 11th (2007) and simply drove around until we found something that suited us.
I guess it was the fact that it was situated slightly outside the center, but in 3 min. walking distance, had a beautiful view, and was a bright pink building that attracted us. As my friend said, "who doesn´t want to stay in a bright pink B &B ?"
The owners were quite friendly and welcoming. The price was great, 35 Euro per person sharing a twin room. The rooms were clean and we had a great view from our bedroom window. Breakfast was tasty, and there was a large selection.
It was no problem to book another night when we asked the morning of April 12th if we could stay an extra night. This worked perfectly for us, as we drove on the Slea Head Drive and would have felt overwhelmed if we had to drive out past Dingle after the long day. We were told that this would be difficult to do though during the season (be forewarned.)
We were quite pleased with our stay in Devane´s, and would stay there without hesitation again!

Dingle was fantastic! Stayed @ Devane's B & B. Very close to town (3 min walk); away from town noise; view of Bay. We booked early so we had 2 rather nice size rooms. Moderate price - very neat & clean!
