Neat and tidy, comfy beds and great location. Really enjoyed our stay. ##### Toni R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia P. 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Authentic Port Fairy cottage I love this little cottage. This was our second stay. The first was many years ago as a family with young children. This time just us and our youngest child (now 16). It is a neat little place in a great spot tucked into a quiet street between the church and the Main Street. Comfortable, warm, clean. ##### Julia P. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### RACHEL T. 17 Mar 2019 #### Great little cottage a block from town great accom travelling with dogs Amazing location clean though no aircon which make the cottage really warm during hot weekends. Brilliant for people holidaying with dogs ##### RACHEL T.

A great place to relax, with lovely walks and excellent bakeries! A comfortable house with well equipped kitchen, and a pumping gas heater in the lounge! ##### Claire T. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shane T. 28 Apr 2016 #### Wonderful Location Dingle is a very tastefully furnished and comfortable cottage, very close to the centre of town. It suited all our requirements, including our ten year old Labrador's, and I would like to stay at Dingle again next time we visit Port Fairy. ##### Shane T. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### LizV 13 Oct 2015 #### Perfect location for PFSMF This is the kind of house you could stay in easily for a week or more to take advantage of its peacefulness and comfort. I shared Dingle with three others for the PFSMF. Kitchen amenities excellent, though a dishwasher would be a welcome addition especially if staying for a longer time. Beds including the bunks are all very comfortable. ##### LizV ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Caravan-Parks.d179898-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Crumlin (BFS) to Elche (ALC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bfs/alc/belfast-to-alicante) > > [British Airways London (LHR) to Ladyville (BZE) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-heathrow-to-philip-s-w-goldson-intl/ba/lhr/bze) ### Packages > [Vietnam Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vietnam.d194.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Portobello Road Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portobello-Road-Market-Notting-Hill.d501563.Attraction)
