We had a wonderful stay for nearly a week at Dempsey’s, after having major problems with our previously booked accommodation at another establishment. Jack and Kathy were very helpful, accommodating and friendly. We found the room very clean, spacious and comfortable. Dempsey’s is also very central, so travelling around PE from there was very easy. We would definitely recommend Dempsey’s, and will return in the future. Andrew Liebrand booked out of Dempseys on 30/01/2014. Place your Dempseys guest review here.
