Eat & Drink
Dining in
Only breakfast is served, but Emlagh House definitely gets our historic breakfast award. The house speciality is owner Marion’s signature ham and cream baked cheesy eggs, as well as the traditional full Irish. If you can resist the aroma coming from the kitchen there are plenty of lighter options to choose from: freshly baked soda bread and crumbly scones, freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade muesli or fish that come straight from the sea to the stove. Breakfast here will certainly see you through till evening – and did we mention the views? Gaze out at Dingle Bay while you munch.
Breakfast
Breakfast is served until 10am
Room service
If getting up early is too much, breakfast can be delivered to your room.
See & Do
See & DoDingle's Slea Head peninsula is one of the loveliest places you’ll ever see and offers a wealth of activities. Swim with the local dolphin (preferably in a wetsuit), go fishing or enjoy bracing coastal walks. Keep in shape with a round of golf or some arm-in-arm tramping around the bay. Take a day trip to tranquil Blasket Island – just ask your hosts for a picnic lunch.
Spa
If all those cooked breakfasts are threatening to take their toll, there is a spa hotel 500 yards away.
