Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What can I say? IT IS WONDERFUL! We stayed in the cottage attached to the house with 2 children ( 8 and 13). So fun! Lovely accommodations! The kids thought it was amazing to be right across from the beach! Annette is one of the nicest people we met traveling globally! And we have been to alot of countries! We arrived at 11 PM and she met us with a smile, and was so fun to talk too! Genuine, kind, like a warm hug! :) She runs a most fantastic house and works so hard! Just meeting her was such a highlight to our two week trip in Europe and she represents the best of Ireland. The breakfast is delicious and she has the nicest women working with her. She set up a guide for us to do Slea and he was absolutely amazing. Class act B and B !!!

What a gorgeous and welcoming property. We had a lovely stay as a family of 4. Booked a king and a twin room. Everything was wonderful. The only small issues were limited Wi-Fi (we had a hotspot so it didn’t bug us too much) and the pillows were a bit hard and uncomfortable.

We stayed here for two nights in a sea view room. Annette made us feel so welcome. The rooms are very well appointed and furnished. The cooked breakfast was excellent with a good range of options and server by friendly staff. We loved the fresh orange juice, home-made bread and little cakes. Evening drinks are available via an honesty book and there are outside tables facing the evening sun. Annette was also very helpful with local knowledge on where to go, what to see and where to dine. We could easily have stayed another few days.

We had a beautiful room on the first floor looking out at fields and the beach. Very relaxing sitting in the chairs in our room and enjoying the view and listening to the sheep across the road. The breakfast was elegantly presented and delicious. We had a perfect 2 night stay while enjoying the peninsula.

We (party of 5 in 3 rooms) stayed at The shores Easter weekend and what a treat! From the time we booked Annette made contact with us directly. We were made so welcome on arrival. The smell of fresh baking was heavenly. The rooms are spectacular and would be found in the best 5* hotels anywhere. Comfy, large beds, beautiful decor, luxurious bathroom with beautiful hair and body products, desk nook with tea & coffee and some delicious homemade cake. Breakfast was fab and definitely Insta worthy and even had Easter Eggs for our daughter. Annette & Sandra and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. All of this on top of the scenic location with amazing views of the ocean! We will most certainly return!

I cannot recommend The Shores B&B enough. From the ease of booking by phone, check in on arrival right through to check out. We stayed for 4 nights. Words I would use to describe our stay would be pleasant, comfortable, warm and welcoming. The Shores is a short drive to Castlegregory and one of the nights the lady of the house was more than happy to recommend a taxi that drove us to Dingle and arranged to pick us up for a very reasonable price. The views from the B&B are spectacular. The beach is within walking distance. The breakfast was delicious, there is so much choice on the menu that caters to all appetites and it set us up for the day. Everyone working in the B&B is so lovely aswell. There was a few special touches added to our suite because we were on honeymoon that were really appreciated also and didn’t go unnoticed. It made such an impression that I would say we will be back to celebrate our anniversaries in the future.

Our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Shores Country House. The accommodations are beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious. Annette is an excellent hostess who is genuinely welcoming. We enjoyed our time in this part of Dingle which I think many pass over. The beach that is a short walk from the property is stunning and the mountains behind and to the side a gorgeous. This was a very special place, we are lucky we found it and hope others do too!

My husband and I stayed for one night at this lovely Bed and Breakfast. We booked a room at the last minute (when we realized how far we were going to have to drive to get to Dingle Peninsula if we stayed in our previous location) and so we were a little worried that there might be something wrong with it since it was available during high season. The room was very comfortable, had a great bathroom, a nice view, and a wonderfully comfortable bed (which was nice as our last place had a bad bed) and Annette was a fabulous host. The breakfast options were very nice and we loved what we ordered (Smoked Salmon and Eggs). Last her breakfast staff was really friendly like you were visiting a friend's home. We also felt it was a good value. We loved it and wished we had spent more time there. Highly recommend.
