Harbour Haven, At The centre of beautiful Dingle town.

This three story house is modelled on a Canadian Dolls House, built in 1909 for worker of the near by ship yard, long since gone.
The House has been recently renovated to a bright and airy setting whilst still maintaining a lot of its original character.

The views from the house overlooks the beautiful Dingle Marina, Harbour and Bay where you can see, particularly from the first and second floor front of house windows, an unobstructed view of all the wonderful happenings of the Marina including watching the yachts sailing to shore.

The house has on street parking, While its an active part of town during the day it becomes more relaxed in the evenings.

Recently renovated with a bright and airy living /dining room on the ground floor.
Two bathrooms on the first floor & the first 2 bedrooms
Bedroom 1 has two single beds
Bedroom 2 has a king size bed
Top floor has another 2 bedrooms
Bedroom 3 has a queen size bed.
Bedroom 4 has a 4 foot bed




My family have lived in the house since 1943.
In his time my Grandfather, hailing from Waterford, served as the local Guarda in Dingle town where he and my grandmother, a Cork lady, reared their family.
Some say he may appear if you misbehave in the house...

The Kitchen has every thing you need, dish washer, coffee maker
there is also a utility with a washing machine & Dryer


- Electrisity is Not included and will be charged at 30 cent per unit


I will be available to offer any help and/or information required with the aim making your stay in the house and your experience in Dingle and it's beautiful surroundings as enjoyable as possible.

2 Flights of stairs in the house..

Great vibe and location!
Dingle was a great place to start our Irish adventure. We really loved the location, energy and vibe in Dingle. It’s a small enough of a town to avoid being overwhelmed but large enough that we never struggled to find things to keep us busy. Brian was a great host and everything with the was as described and was top notch.

The perfect place in Dingle Ireland
Excellent well managed property in the best location. We were able to walk to all the local attractions, restaurants, shops , pubs and grocery stores. The home had everything you’d need , a very well equipped kitchen , washer dryer , 4 comfortable bedrooms and 2 large baths . Tons of towels and blankets were supplied and even a starter kit for the fireplace. Best of all our host Brian couldn’t have been any better . This place is spotless , I highly recommend it . I hope to return again sometime.

Another great trip!
Brian is a great host, provided lots of info about the areas and came back to check on us. This location is perfect for exploring the town and with multiple people it was easy for everyone to come and go as they chose. Close drive to Slea Head drive and Inch Beach. The property had all we needed and was comfy. Love waking up to see the water. Highly recommend this property and Brian as your host!

Great location & host
We enjoyed our stay at Harbour Haven. We were walking distance to everything in town, the bars & restaurants, churches, walking trails and waterfront. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and house was quiet and soundproof. Brian, the host, answers any questions immediately and is a charming host. He even gave us a ride to the bus stop because a storm named Kathleen hit as we were leaving. Highly recommend! Thank you Brian!

Charming old fishing house with modern upgrades.
Brian,the host, was a delight- full of stories, local recommendations and political insights to understand old and modern Ireland- a most remarkable country. The beds are comfy, kitchen well equipped, and location superb with harbor view. Just be aware that climbing 3 flights of stairs may be a bit challenging for some folks. Highly recommend the house.

We look forward to visiting again!
This property is a wonderful place to stay in Dingle. It is directly across the road from the marina, and a quick walk into the heart of town. The property itself is fantastic: clean, plenty of room, a big kitchen, and lots of natural light. There was nothing lacking: for example, the many light switches were well labeled, which was very helpful. A big thank you to Brian and Petra. They responded quickly to any questions we had, both before and during our visit, and provided recommendations of things to do. They also checked in with us during our stay, which was greatly appreciated. We couldn't ask for nicer hosts. We highly recommend this property and will definitely be back.

Best location and house in Dingle
The house is steps from the restaurant district. Great views of the harbor across the street. Very quiet after about 9pm. Nice fire stove in the living room with wood supplied. Nice in the morning to take the chill off. Both bathrooms are in the 2nd floor but it works out well. The beds are fantastic and we sleep better here than at home. The owner was wonderful and helpful. My wife left a necklace that was a heirloom and the owner contacted us about it and sent it to us. This was by far the highlight of our 2 weeks in Ireland. A must see is the Eask Tower. You can see it up on the hill across from the harbor. It is a 2 mile drive and a hike up through a few heards of sheep to the top. The view is unbelievable. Best view in Ireland by far! Just put Eask tower in your GPS. $2 each, what a deal.

Perfect location
My husband and I stayed in Harbour Haven with another couple and were very happy with the house and the location. Each couple had a floor to themselves which worked out great for everyone. The property is within walking distance to everything in Dingle town and perfectly located for day trips. We wondered about getting parking on the street, but we managed, even on a Bank Holiday Sunday. The home was sparkling clean and we all felt very comfortable. The kitchen was top notch, and it was good timing to have a washing machine and dryer on the premises. None of us understood that the two bathrooms are on a middle level from the bedrooms and we worried that accessing them was a bit awkward, but with the motion sensor light for night time, it worked just fine. The owner was a delight! He was available to answer our questions (I think we only had one) and we thoroughly enjoyed hearing his stories of Dingle in days gone by. We all felt very secure safe and secure in the house. I'd recommend the property to anyone thinking about exploring Dingle town and peninsula.

Our 5 night stay at Harbor Haven in Dingle was everything we hoped it would be. The location and view were amazing, a prime spot!

Delightful Dingle Bay
The property surpassed our expectations! Kitchen equipped to cook 9 fresh Dingle Bay Lobsters and Scallops from the fish market walking distance to the home, just past the aquarium. Comfortable beds, great size bedrooms and storage,plenty of family space, areas out front and backyard. The view from the front of the house is amazing! I had the middle floor front room and thoroughly enjoyed looking out over the harbor at all times of day or night. I would look at the Eask Tower and my 6 yr old grandson wanted to climb it, so we did! Highly recommend it! The location of Harbor Haven couldn't be better. Travelling with my husband 2 grown children, their spouses and a 6 yr old allowed the freedom for everyone to come and go as they please, from a walk to a pub, to get ice cream, go to chuch, the market, the bakery, to restaurants, the post office, shopping, the park, it was grand! Brian and Petra felt like family opening their home to us. So blessed to have found this house. Recommend a ride to Inch Beach, Minard Castle, Bin Ban Beach, Ballyferriter, Gallerus Oratory, Gallerus Castle, Slea Head Drive, Blasket Island cultual center, Eask Castle, Eco Tour 7 hour from Ventry Pier to Great Blasket Island stop at Cafe for tea and scones, Connor Pass, Reel Dingle Takeaway for fish and chips and DingleAhoy, the bakery Cinnamon buns, O'Flarrety's Irish Coffee, Fentons, Out of The Blue, Random Restaurant, Chinese Food, Marina Bar, John Bennys, Paddy Braun, Foxy John, PJ Curran, The Beast Pizza behind Dick Mack's, the Cheese Shop, all the fresh breads from Garveys Dermott Kelly and so many other singers and performers appearing nightly around town, stop in any Church you can to sit, light a candle and say a prayer... magical, memorable!

Perfect location
Perfect location for having a great time in and around Dingle. Middle of May, great weather, easy perking in front of the house. Great view on harbor and boots. 5 minutes walk in town. Great restaurants close by. „ Out Of The Blue „ is Phantastin- have to make a reservation ( was recommended by Brian, thanks for that). Went to Castlegregory again and had dinner on the terasse of Spillane Restaurant. Thanks to Brian for the easy handling and great communication. Will come back.
