illtown House Guesthouse is a Fáilte Ireland approved, award-winning, 4-star guesthouse situated less than 3 km from the town of Dingle — An Daingean —, on the Dingle Peninsula in Southwest Ireland. We are situated overlooking the beautiful Dingle Harbour area, with a private car park, and are open from early May through late October.

Milltown House itself is well over 100 years old, but has all modern conveniences. All 10 of our bedrooms have direct dial telephones, televisions, alarm radios, tea and coffee making facilities, and hair dryers. Needless to say, all of our bedrooms are en-suite. Our family would sum up our rooms, and indeed our house, as non-pretentious, and very comfortable and welcoming.

An interesting aside to Milltown House, for those who are interested in trivia, is that Robert Mitchum and his family lived in the house for over a year during the filming of David Lean's movie "Ryan's Daughter" in the 1960s.

Milltowh House has a lovely conservatory, again overlooking Dingle Harbour. This is our breakfast room, where you can choose what you like from our buffet, and then enjoy anything from a wild honey pancake to a full Irish breakfast from our breakfast menu. It goes without saying that we will cater for any special dietary needs if advised of requirements in advance. In the afternoon, the conservatory is a great place to enjoy the bird life feeding outside in the tidal estuary. Because of strict Irish liqueur laws, we are not allowed to sell beer or hard spirits, but do have a wine licence. A glass of wine can be enjoyed in our Lounge in the afternoon or evening.

hen the weather turns warm, we have tables and chairs on our lawn where you can really relax and look at the activity in Dingle Bay. On occasion you can see Fungie, Dingle's famous wild dolphin, jumping and playing near the harbour mouth. For anyone interested, you can take yachting and wind surfing lessons in Dingle, not to mention snorkeling and diving lessons. Talking of adjacent amenities, right at the back of our house is a golf driving range and an excellent pitch and putt course. Less than 2 km away, you can go horseriding and pony trekking. A 10-minute drive will see you out at Ceann Sibeal golf course in Ballyferriter.

ur family has a long tradition in the hospitality industry. Some of our guests will remember us as owners for many years of the Armada Restaurant and Star Bar in Dingle.

Myself, my wife Anne, and our daughter Tara (right) will act as your hosts while you are staying at Dingle's Milltown House Guesthouse, and will assist you in planning your touring days with us. And indeed, we may be able to advise you on where to go on leaving Dingle, as well.

Milltown House is listed in all major travel guides.

ingle Peninsula — Kilometer for kilometer, the Dingle Peninsula has probably more historical and scenic views than any other part of Ireland.

Dingle's night-time pub life is legendary. I can personally vouch for that! The town boasts over 30 eating establishments, from traditional fish and chips to blue-ribbon award-winning restaurants. Milltown House keeps its own food largely traditional.
