Incredible all around.
Absolutely fantastic! The service, the room, the views! All incredible. Beds are comfy, breakfast is delicious. The pool is small but sufficient for relaxation (we didn’t use it but looked in on it). The location is perfect with beautiful views all around. If you love ocean sounds and views this is for you! The service was amazing so sweet, we had a terrible day (car accident) were late checking in, they even upgraded our room to help with the stress. Best stay! Great location to Slea head and Killarney.

Hidden Gem! Spectacular!
Harbor House is magnificent. Surrounded by ocean, hillsides, and horses, this HH is a sanctuary like no other. Sandra and Robin and the entire team were wonderful and helped us with reservations and ideas. They have diving lessons and they have a young team of instructors who teach in the pool and then guide excursions. The full Irish breakfast was hearty and delicious and we loved the pool and decks and greeting the horses each morning. What an awe-inspiring place that sure speaks to the “smithy” of one’s soul.

Great potential, but poor execution.
Great view and front desk staff was lovely and helpful, but unfortunately our room was not fully cleaned. The toilet was filthy, and mould growth was visible on the bathroom ceiling. Our breakfast (full Irish) was mostly re-heated, except from the eggs that were fresh and perfect.

The property was great as was the staff. We were running late for check in and they left out materials at the front desk for us. The room was clean and spacious and the view of the ocean from the front of the property was spectacular. Next time we will be staying longer.

We stayed here for one night walking the dingle end of season, the room offered everything we needed for that. Staff was friendly and we were able to check-in much earlier than anticipated, the food and the views in the area was nice.
One big downside, the leisure center was felt like it was on top of our room which causes a lot of noise.

We really enjoyed the views from our room. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was great except the beds. The bed was very lumpy and not recommended for people with back issues.

Off the beaten path room w/an ocean view
Harbor house was our favorite bed-and-breakfast along the Wild Atlantic Way. Being a Pisces and being on the water surrounded by horses alongside having the small town feel is what we love the most. We enjoyed a cool late afternoon/evening walk to a local pub where we enjoyed some local fare, Irish coffees, and mini Guinness 😄. The traditional breakfast was fantastic, accommodating our request to hold the white and black pudding. Staff were friendly and very communicative throughout the booking and reservation process.

Had a nice stay. Beautiful location right on the water. Room was clean and shower was hot. Great restaurant a 10 minute walk. Quite a few walking trails and such a short drive away. Only negative was the full Irish breakfast - bacon and sausage were overcooked, poached eggs were cooked hard through, and potatoes were premade dry hashbrown wedges. Edible, so not really worth the hassle of sending back, but disappointing. Yogurt and bread and juice were fine, though. Son’s salmon and scrambled eggs were good, though.

Our check-in experience was wonderful. The receptionist greeted us warmly and helped to set up a dinner reservation for us. She relayed all the information about the premises and guided us to our room.
Our room had a beautiful view onto the sea. Our beds and carpet were clean.
The toilet in the bathroom was dirty, the seat lid would not stay up and hit you in the back when using it, and the tank leaked. The shower is very small.
The common areas in the lodge appeared to be used by guests and family members and had many personal items spread about.
I wouldn’t advise anyone against staying here, but just know what you’re getting.
