Hotels in Dingle Peninsula, Ireland

Dingle Peninsula juts into the Atlantic on Ireland's southwest coast, with a mild, rainy climate that keeps the hills green year-round. It's famous for the Slea Head Drive loop (a 30-mile coastal road past the 7th-century Gallarus Oratory) and lively traditional Irish music sessions in Dingle town's pubs. Summers (60-70°F / 15-21°C) are best for hiking the Brandon Mountain trail or taking a boat trip to the abandoned Blasket Islands, while winters (40-50°F / 4-10°C) offer lower hotel rates and empty roads for cycling the peninsula's narrow lanes.
