Good place to stay

Good location away from the crowd in Dingle and close to everything. The room was small but comfortable and breakfast was delicious. The owners also make home made pizza which was also delicious. I would stay there again.

Perfect in every way!

This was the PERFECT place to stay! Lovely owners, wonderful room with a very comfortable bed, breakfast was delicious and they have laundry service! The little town was such a welcome change from the crazy, tourist filled town of Dingle. Very close to Dingle and all of the local sites. The pizza was heavenly. The highlight B and B of our trip!

This property has everything you’d need or want as a traveler. They even offer laundry service which was awesome for us! Super friendly staff, delicious breakfast, clean room with the best shower and hot water. The staff was knowledgeable of things to do in the area and surrounding towns and gave us the best route to go see the Cliffs if Moher. Great spot for fish and chips down the street. Post office down the way. We will be going back!

Not only were Brian and Beata the most gracious hosts, but they also provided medical assistance when a member of our party took a severe bump to his head. Brian and Beata took over with amazing TLC and offers to take us to the doctor down the road. Now that is full-service!! We will be back on our next trip for sure! Thank you Brian and Beata!

Helpful staff

We were welcomed warmly by the guy who runs the B&B/Inn and he gave us some good information about areas close by. Breakfast was great as there was fresh fruit waiting for you at your table in the morning and there was a good selection of hot items as well. Rooms were simple but clean for the age of the place. Parking was easy and free which is why we booked here.

Friendly hotel in a nice village

Nice village within easy access of Dingle and the sights of the peninsula. The hotel staff were very friendly, it was good value and provided a full Irish breakfast to fuel us for a day of walking. The North Pole pub is just a short walk away and provides good food and beer.

Near Inch and Dingle Loop. Convenient!

We found the location to be very convenient to the places we wanted to go. An extra added treat was when we came back from Church and found the sidewalks full of sheep waiting to be judged! It was incredible local flavor that we couldn't have planned for. Brian was very helpful by giving us direction to do the things we wanted.

Unforgettable stay

Exactly what we were looking for in a small village in the beautiful Dingle peninsula. Quiet area with pubs close by, easy access to the Dingle Way with castle ruins, beaches and more. Great local history and an innkeeper team that makes your stay perfect with great service and a wonderful breakfast!

Great service and a cozy room

The room was spacious and had all we needed. The staff there were friendly and very helpful. They went above and beyond to help us get some laundry done (we were in the midst of a long journey) and give us special help when I developed a cold. Breakfasts were delicious and had special touches on the different mornings we were there. Annascaul itself doesn't really offer much besides a couple pubs and small convenience store. We explored Dingle and the Slea Head Drive during the days. It was a good base for that. Easy to find your way around with google maps. The B&B itself also makes yummy pizza in the evenings for dinner if you don't want to go out, or if the weather is dismal.

Lovely Anascaul B and B

This is our second visit to the Old Anchor. The room was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast outstanding---a wonderful variety of yogurts, breads, cereals, and hot foods. Beata and Brian are kind friendly, and attentive. What's not to love?

Nice B&B

Lindo B&B, con habitación cómoda, limpia y agradable, con mobiliario en buenas condiciones como nuevo (sin grandes pretensiones). El baño un poco pequeño pero suficiente. El desayuno bien servido. Fueron amables, aunque casi no tuvimos contacto con el personal. Sólo estuvimos una noche y nos pareció bien para pasar una estancia corta. Lo elegimos por su ubicación. Está a 10 mins. de Inch beach, 20 mins. de Dingle y a una hora de Killarney, en auto.

Excellent stop on our Kerry roadtrip.

We were made to feel very welcome here. Our room was delightful - at the back, so not getting any road noise at night. Annascaul is a good base for the Dingle peninsula and there are enough pubs and eating places a short walk from the Old Anchor Inn so that you don't have to drive out anywhere at night. There was an excellent choice for breakfast.

Brilliant B&B

We loved our stay at The Old Anchor Inn! The owners are super friendly, our room was lovely and the breakfasts and pizzas are great. We hope to return to the area sometime soon and both agreed we'd love to stay at this B&B again.

Lovely choice for a B&B

This is a really cute B&B and the owners are really friendly. It is in a location where you really have to go out and about (unless you're happy with a couple of local bars) but all in all a good choice for our business trip. Just one comment is that we found the times offered for breakfast quite limiting. Really if you are working group away you really need to be getting breakfast by 7am not 8am, however most of the people staying there seemed to be walkers etc. and it may just be us that needed the earlier breakfast. That may be a comment that the owners may like to take on board, however all in all its a lovely place, lovely owners, very clean and would easily recommend for anyone looking for a stop over in the Dingle area.

Home away from home

Bryan was very helpful and nice! Recommended things for things for us to see, do and eat. We had booked one room and since he had other rooms available, he let us get another room free of charge for us to be more comfortable, this it self was sold me, I would stay here again. The food is great too!! Love the pizza! He had movies for us to borrow and watch in our rooms! Thank you!

Great B&B on the Dingle Peninsula

We absolutely loved the B&B! Brian was very friendly, provided us with recommendations on b&b in other cities we were visiting. The room was spacious, clean, sunny, and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with different options of food. Quiet town but great location on the Dingle Peninsula.

Absolutely wonderful!

This is definetely the best b&b we've ever visited. We arrived late and the owners had to change their evening plans because of that, but still they treated us so nicely. B&b was cosy and quiet, breakfast was really good for the price and the surroundings were nice. Amazing place all in all, we had such a great time staying here.
