Sean, 1-night trip

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

10/10 Excellent

Wow, Thanks Elizabeth, you provided each guest just what they needed in a thoughtful, caring way. That is amazing when running the pub, with the colourful regulars, and blow ins from all corners of the world. You provided the very best of Irish hospitality in a gem of a place. Thanks for being so generous with your time and guiding our local travels. What a terrific family you are. I wish we could bring you home with us! Warm regards, Dom and Julie from down under.
Dominic, 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

8/10 Good

Nice little B&B, the only issue was that it’s not air conditioned, nor did it have a fan so it was pretty warm in the room. Liz was very sweet and gave us some good advice for our drive.
Fei Lee, 1-night trip

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!

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.
