“Emlagh House wins on location, a quiet spot just a short walk from Dingle, and some rooms have stunning views of Dingle Bay from large windows; the strong water pressure is also noteworthy, and breakfast brings fresh scones to the table. I think that if the building gets some needed repairs, this property could easily be one of the best in Dingle.”
