About the Captain's Townhouse Suites

Situated in Dingle town centre, The Captain's House has a long tradition of hospitality and seafaring men. The Captain's House has been a Bed & Breakfast since 1886, when Captain Tom Williams, after meritorious service in the Royal Navy and Irish Lights, started taking lodgers. The Bed & Breakfast, served by the Kitchen Garden, earned a reputation for homely-ness, comfort and good food, which has lived on through various owners.

History of our business

In the late 1980s the seafaring tradition was renewed when the property was bought by Jim and Mary Milhench, Jim a retired Sea Captain, and Mary, a local girl brought up in the Bed & Breakfast tradition.

Approach

Approached by footbridge over the Mall river through award-winning gardens, the Bed & Breakfast has been renovated and furnished with antiques and items collected on the Captain's voyages, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. Whether relaxing with a book, having tea and cake in your suite, or barbequing on your deck, you will feel at home.

The Suites

Fine furniture and paintings, turf fires and fresh flowers create a warm, friendly and relaxing atmosphere which sets the mood for our suites. With orthopaedic beds, TV, free WIFI and other home comforts, they are warm and cozy. En-suite bathrooms with loads of hot water complete the pleasure.
