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.

Emlagh House was welcoming and comfortable. The house is decorated in the style of an old country estate, with lots of architectural detail, original paintings and antiques; yet it felt very cozy, comfortable and 'lived in'. Our room was very clean, spacious and had high ceilings and good light with a door opening to a small, private patio. Breakfasts were substantial with a full menu and very good food. When our rental car would not start, Susan went above and beyond to assist me in dealing with a very unresponsive Roadside Assistance Service that we paid for with the rental car . She made several calls and advocated for me. I cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful staff and how friendly and helpful they were! Highly recommend!

This was a charming spot in Dingle with the most spacious rooms we had in Ireland. Unique antique furniture throughout and even a tub. Each downstairs room has its own little private patio with a hedge around it (we were there on a rainy weekend so we weren't able to enjoy that, but there are plenty of places to relax inside and tea is always available in the living room). They had biscoff biscuits there with the tea, but it would be good to have plant-based milk and a vegan baked good too, and plant-based milks and more vegan options were needed at breakfast. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. The view from the dining room was lovely of the garden and a bit of the sea. Convenient location to walk to town in a few minutes on a sidewalk. Or you could walk to the seaside and down a trail to historic tower.

Perfect stay from start to finish! Our host showed us around this interesting, large home and to our room, which was large, comfortable and clean. We had a very quiet night’s rest. We had a bag of laundry - dropped it off with reception that evening - it was clean and ready at our door the next morning, which was most welcome. The breakfast is outstanding - delicious scones with jam and lots of great menu choices. It is an easy walk to downtown Dingle as well as to the bay just down a quiet road. We visited in July, and the backyard as well as the perimeter parking lot was bursting with beautiful blooms. We did a tour the next morning, after checking out of the House, and we left our car in the private House parking lot until later in the afternoon, which made for a hassle free day. We would definitely stay again!

Loved it! A short walk to the city center. The house itself is beautiful, and beautifully decorated, well maintained! Our large room had a seating area and a huge window that looked out over the town of Dingle and beyond, just lovely! The bathroom was large and well equipped, had a heated floor, very nice. We never heard so much as a peep out of the other guests, our room was very quiet. The breakfast and the lovely ladies serving the guests were all excellent! The staff were all very nice, friendly, and helpful. If I could change something it would only be the mattress on our bed, the center of the mattress was higher than the sides, we slightly rolled downhill either way, that affected the comfort level quite a bit, but it's certainly not a deal breaker, I still give Emlagh House 5 stars, we'll definitely stay at this charming place again, hopefully the mattress will have been replaced by then.

We spent 4 nights in this lovely inn. The room was spacious and nicely appointed with an updated and large bathroom. Most importantly the staff were phenomenal - so accommodating and always nice. Peggy and Susie couldn't have been more helpful. Missing my very American iced tea, they were nice enough to brew me a pot of tea and bring me ice on multiple occasions. And the breakfasts were incredible - amazing scones, followed by pretty much anything else you could think of - everything perfectly prepared. The dining room was airy and bright so the delicious food was even more enjoyable. The only day we actually didn't travel around the peninsula, we picked up lunch in town and ate it in the lovely backyard. The location was great - near the marina and everything in charming Dingle was walkable! If you are lucky enough to spend time on the beautiful Dingle peninsula, Emlagh House is the ideal place to stay.

Just spent a week at Emlagh House. It was our 6th visit staying at Emlagh House. You can walk to Town or take a walk along the water. Dawn, our Host, and her spectacular staff of Susie ,Peggy, and Mary make it a true home away from home.

This hotel was an easy 7 minute walk from “downtown” Dingle. We had a really nice room that was the largest of any hotel we stayed in during our 9 days in Ireland. The room had a king sized bed and a nice sitting area with two chairs and a table and still had plenty of room. The bathroom was also completely accessible (grab bars and lipless shower) if you have mobility issues. Breakfast was very good.

This was our sixth time staying there. It's very beautifully decorated and the rooms are very large. It's a five minute walk to the center of town. Dawn the owner and Peggy and Susie who work for her are all great and go out of their way to help you. I can't recommend it enough. Tim and Dorie Florida
