We only stayed for one night and had a very good rest here at Murphy's Farmhouse. Very clean, comfy beds, fresh air through the windows, relaxing vibe from the dairy farm. Murphy's pub down the street was a great place to get a couple of pints of beer and a late night snack of pizza before heading to bed (also very clean). The family owned business is darling, makes us happy to give them our business. This is a working farm, so you might here a couple of saws or drills coming from the barn throughout the day, don't be alarmed. Embrace it! Breakfast was excellent and they had variety of options for us.
We headed to Dingle to explore for the day, but wished we had just hung out at Inch Beach nearby, Dingle was overcrowded with tourists and parking was hard to find. Stick around Castlemaine and explore, that's our recommendation.
