We just spent three great nights in Dingle at the Liston Family B&B with Jill and Bengie (her 15 year old Westie). Jill is a wonderful hostess who made sure we were well taken care of. The accommodations are warm and cozy including our favorite - the instant hot water in the showers! Jill is a sweetheart who happens to... More

My husband and I would highly recommend the Liston Family B&B for your stay in Dingle. We loved everything about it. Jill greeted us with excellent hospitality and knowledge of the area. We had more than enough to do during our stay, and she was full of recommendations. We appreciated that she even picked us up at the bus stop... More

This was my first trip back to Ireland in over 20 years. and my partner's first ever. I wanted to show him the real Ireland, and the warmth of Irish hospitality. We found it all at Jill Liston's home in Dingle. She could not have done more for us, so very kind and considerate. She shared her wealth of local... More

My parents and I stayed here just recently in September for about a week. At first I was a bit disappointed cause the B&B seemed to be a bit far out of town. But walking that distance once I realised it was really super short and the silence a bit out of town is extremely enjoyable. It is wonderfully quiet... More

Highly recommended. Jill is incredibly kind and helpful, and we were made to feel completely at home in our two night stay. She is highly knowledgeable on local restaurants and on where to go to hear a good musical seisun, so we did not put a foot wrong in choosing where to spend our evenings. Her knowledge and information on... More

We started our trip from here, after landing at shannon airport, Jill even offered us early check-in if required. From the moment we met, she was very accommodating and the layout of the home suited us perfectly as we were travelling with 4 children, Breakfast was great and plenty of it, along with plenty of choices for our fussy kids....

I now can say I have a friend in Ireland. Jill is warm and friendly, her home very nice and relaxing. A perfect 10 minute walk into town. Her breakfast was grand. Thank you Jill for a lovely stay in Dingle. Jodi

Staying at Jill's B&B made Dingle that much better. She's terrific and was the most friendly and welcoming host on our entire trip. We enjoyed the time she took to chat and make us feel very welcome.
