Wow! What an amazing location and experience. The view of the bay is breathtaking. Our rooms were beautiful with a hair dryer and soap for the shower. But, Phil is the jewel here. We sat out front enjoying the view when she brought tea and a --to die for--carrot cake. We loved the walk to the pub for dinner, listened to live music, watched a wedding celebration and found a few shells on the beach. Phil helped us tremendously by doing a load of laundry. We left smelling much better and wishing we had planned 2 days here. Breakfast was outstanding!

Stayed one night on our Dingle way walk. Michael picked us up then Phil took us to start the next days walk after she served breakfast. Extremely helpful and friendly couple. Wonderful modern B and B with all the finishing touches and more that you could want. Short stroll to local pub for dinner. Fantastic breakfast with homemade extras such as hot bread and butter pudding and individual lemon meringue pies that looked really scrummy. Superb breakfast. If in the area would definitely book here again.

Fabulous host and outstanding accommodations. Our room had a sitting area that looked out over the Dingle Bay. Although the weather was overcast and foggy, we had the best stay at Imeall na Mara. Phil, our hostess, was so very personable and charming making us feel welcome during our entire stay. The room was incredible, very spacious and completely up to date. The room we stayed in use to be the local grocery and post office before the owner remodeled three years ago. Every attention to detail was of the highest standard. Our morning meal was absolutely delicious. Be sure and take a walk along the cliffs of Ballydavid. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Phil for an excellent stay.

This was a wonderful place to stay before taking on the walk around Mt. Brandon. We had already decided that the shorter route made the most sense. Phil was able to give us very clear directions, and her husband Michael drove us to the starting point the next morning. Phil welcomed us with tea and homemade carrot cake, which was delicious. Our room was large and airy with a great view. Breakfast was extremely good. Great place to stay!

Phil and Michael Brosnan have a cozy B&B with some great views of the bay right out the front door. Phil was gracious enough to pick us at a local pub after our days route on the Dingle Way Trail. She was also kind enough to drop us off at the start of our Glin North leg the next morning. She offered very helpful information concerning the trail features. To top it all off she was the one who transported our gear to the next B&B on our journey! Imeall na Mara was my wife's favorite stop on our 12 day journey on the Dingle Way. There was a special effort to have extra amenities available like shampoo, conditioner, soap and, for us Americans a face cloth also known to us as a wash cloth. The room was clean and very comfortable with a nice view of the harbor/bay. Breakfast was superior to many other B&Bs we visited... the crowning glory was the plate of warm homemade bread pudding that was brought to our table. Thank you Brosnans for a delightful experience and to Hillwalk Tours for the booking!…

This B&B is beautiful and very welcoming.The hostess is very knowledgeable of the area, especially if you are hiking the Dingle Way. It was a real treat, after a wet day of hiking, to have tea in the sunroom and be surprised with a beautiful creampuff!

We stayed at Imeall Na Mara for one night on a recent visit to the Dingle peninsula, the house, the hospitality, the location, the breakfast and the value were all excellent. I would recommend this to anyone. Thank you Phil and Michael for this little piece of paradise. Attached photo was taken at the pier.
