Eat & Drink
Dining in
Gorman's welcoming bistro-style restaurant is done out in shades of terracotta and midnight blue, set off by a stripped pine floor. Floor to ceiling windows framing wide-open views of the Atlantic and the rocky peaks of the Three Sisters could almost distract you from your food here – if it wasn't so tasty. Go Irish, and start with traditional potato cakes served with Annascaul black pudding and a bacon and mushroom sauce, followed perhaps by grilled scallops with toasted hazelnuts, coriander butter and carrot fritters and polished off with scrummy Chocolate Nemesis. Be sure to book in advance though - dinner is by reservation only.
Breakfast
Buffet breakfast featuring a daily changing menu is served until 10am.
Room service
Available morning and evening.
See & Do
See & DoDriving around the Slea Head Peninsula is a must to take in the region's dramatic cliffs, seascapes and rugged terrain. You're on the Dingle Way, so get your walking boots on or pick up a cycle – Gorman's rents out bikes. Dingle itself is well worth exploring, and you can go rock fishing or take a boat ride to the nearby Blasket Islands – as well as join the tourists in search of Fungi, the resident Dingle Bay dolphin. The town also has an aquarium with a shark tank. There are a wealth of Bronze age relics around, especially in the Loch A'Dúin Valley, on the northern side of the Conor Pass.
