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!

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.

Although clean and adequate, this pub is in need of investment by way of new bedroom furniture. The old style pine is well past its prime. We stayed here as part of our Wild Atlantic Way road trip. Dinner and breakfast was ok and that you would expect for the price you pay....

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!

Comfortable loft w/traditional Irish breakfast
The anvil bar bed-and-breakfast was a great stop over for us as we traveled the wild Atlantic Way. Please note, there are no elevators and you do have to climb stairs to the rooms on the second and third floors. We enjoyed having the pub on site with a bartender who was more than friendly and served up great Irish coffees. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic, and they accommodated our request to hold on the black and white puddin 😄.

A place of welcome and tradition
Located on the road to Dingle and the Dingle Peninsula The Anvil Bar & Restaurant is a traditional hotel/pub in Ireland. The proprietors Liz and her son Steven were great--welcoming, hospitable, and quick to engage with assistance, stories, or ideas for our trip. The food and beverages in the pub were great. The rooms are a little dated and the beds are a bit less comfortable than what you might find in other big hotels, but the price is extremely reasonable and the welcome and hospitality more than makes up for it.

Had a lovely stay. Spotless, big room with powerful AC. Lots of natural light. Tea coffee making facilities in room. Has own parking area across the road. Excellent Irish breakfast, very friendly host and staff. Lots of storage space.
Poor sound proofing, no water bottle provided, no toiletries except handwash and body wash. No handheld shower, so shower cap needs to be provided. Hairdryer provided but hardly any hot air came out of it. No lifts, so will need to carry luggage to 2nd floor!
We will recommend this place to stay.
