Granville House Apartments and Garden Suites

Clean rooms

Facing the hills and sea view

The owner is the sweetest lady ever! I arrived 2 hours later than the checking time because of late bus arrivals but she waited for us with no complaints. Our room was bigger than I thought and it was very clean. We had a private bathroom and the pressure and the drain were really good. We left for the day and came back to fresh new towels which we didn't expect but it was very appreciated. My favourite part was the heated blankets under the sheets, very nice touch! The property is beautiful and we were able to walk around and explore. The sauna was also such a nice experience, your reserve your slot with the owner for 30min between 5pm-7pm but she lets you stay longer if there's no one booked after you. The kitchen is also pretty big and she also made pancake mix so we were able to make ourselves pancakes free of charge! The owner is also so helpful, she knew the TFI schedule and the best routes to take to get to our destinations. And the bus stop was a 5min walk.

If you're planning to mostly visit Dingle, it's quite far. A good 20-30 minutes by TFI (local bus) and it only passes a few times a day. So if you miss it, you'll have to wait a few hours for the next one or pay 30-50 (Canadian dollar) taxi/uber ride). But the bus ticket is very affordable, around 4 Canadian dollars.

Nothing

A great looking villa consisting of a ton of different rooms and apartments. The location overlooking the valley was very nice and the interior decoration was very charming and romantic. 9 out of 10!

For us it lacked several modern comforts which really dampened the experience we were looking forward to so much. There is no dishwasher, the WiFi didn’t work at all, no TV, not enough chairs, cups, dishes etc for the three of us and so on. BUT the most important issues was the lack of mechanical ventilation in any of the rooms. Not in the bathroom(located in the center of the house with doors to the kitchen and bedroom which you cannot lock), kitchen and so on. Which not only means it can get quite smelly but there was a very bad MOLD smell everywhere!! We kept open all windows and doors 24/7 even though it got quite chilly. Even with this it could be hard to comfortably breathe at times. 4 out of 10! Great looking location but because of these health issues we unfortunately can’t recommend it. We stayed at the Paradise at the Sea(?) apartment, part of the old original villa. Other rooms and apartments might not have the same mold issue though!!
