The Anvil Bar & Restaurant

Check in was not very welcoming or informative. We weren't told about how to get in during bar closing times with a key in a Lockbox. Breakfast is only served between 9 & 10am with No Flexibility. We were offered a sandwich to take away instead, which looked disgusting so didn't eat it. Also, we stayed 2 nights and on the 2nd day we returned to the property at noon (the bar was closed) so we couldn't get in, it was all locked up. The entrance door for the accommodation is different to the one to the bar. Only by chance we saw someone inside and knocked on the window. She said you can't check in until 4pm, but after explaining we'd check in the previous day, she let us in, but with no apology. When we explained this to the manager the next day, he asked : didn't anyone give us the Lockbox Number ? After we said no, he shrugged his shoulders with no apology. Our room was average at best, and the mattress was very uncomfortable. Would not recommend.

People where really friendly and even sorted us breakfast early so we could get off on our trip, room was nice and spacious and really clean, breakfast was really nice also.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the room above the pub. It was very clean, and the bed and pillows were super comfortable. Thank you for the lovely stay! We’ll definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Nice roadside pub. Food was good in evening and breakfast. Service in the evening was iffy. Most staff didn’t know how to check us in. Room was small but clean and fine and good for one night

A beautifully updated building, bar downstairs. The hostess was delightful, helped us find our way to where we wanted to go.

Wonderful place with room having character and appeal. Owner Liz went out of her way to help, give directions and share some of her stories. Traffic along the road outside might be a concern for light sleepers and need for open windows to keep cool at night increases that risk. Lovely place perfect for our needs!

Our host Liz was very helpful, lots of advice about what to see, and we even had a brief Irish instruction. Very lovely. This was a great base for visiting Dingle peninsula. Breakfast was great, we enjoyed the pub, and there is also a nice pub next door.

Lovely stay with Liz at the Anvil. She was a wealth of knowledge each morning helping up prepare for our days of adventuring. Comfortable quiet room with lovely breakfast each morning. And the Anvil restaurant was a great end to busy days!

We were on a first Ireland trip and just basic ideas what to see. Liz was a big help in planning our explorations. The location is great for exploring Kerry and Dingle peninsula’s. The room we had was spacious. Meals were great too.

One night stay, slept and had meal.

I loved it here! Instead of being handed a key, we were shown to our room, which was so cozy and welcoming. Both dinner and breakfast felt like home cooked meals rather than restaurant food. But the best part was the personal attention we received from our patroness Liz who shared stories and advice that truly touched our hearts and showed us the real Ireland. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the Anvil.

This was top notch very clean facility. The owner Elizabeth was warm and welcoming with lots of Irish sayings. The rooms weee immaculate. We slept like logs. Definitely recommend the anvil bar if you are in the area.

The owners are very knowledgeable and willing to help with advice. Thank you so much for the recommendations.

Spent 2 nights here. It was a great experience, and loved the breakfast!

Nice little B&B, the only issue was that it’s not air conditioned, nor did it have a fan so it was pretty warm in the room. Liz was very sweet and gave us some good advice for our drive.

Clean rooms and friendly staff

Great hostess and owner. Really personable and great breakfast the next morning! Would highly recommend as close to the ring of Carrie and some braid advice from the owner!

I was met right away to check in. The clerk was most helpful with getting my bags up to my room. The bar downstairs gave me an opportunity to chat with the friendly locals. I had roasted chicken with mashed and vegitables for dinner. The meal was delicious and fulfilling. It was an enjoyable overnight stay.

We loved our stay here! The Staff was the friendliest we crossed paths with during our entire trip! WHICH says so much because Irish people are all so kind and generous! Thank you Anvil Bar!

Great little hotel which included full Irish breakfast. Close proximity to Inch Beach.
