We really enjoyed our stay in Dingle and at the Hawthorn Apartment. The room is beautiful, it’s quiet, and the view is stunning. It’s just a short walk into town. Joe was incredibly kind and attentive, making our stay even more special. We will always cherish the wonderful memories from our time here.
