A wild weekend!

If you want to be slightly away from the noise and bustle of Dingle town, this is the place for you. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, as we discovered having arrived after the first heavy snowfall in the area for years then, as if that wasn't enough, having to endure Storm Bert! Unbelievable! Bob (the owner) kindly phoned to advise on the best route to Shannon Airport in the snow where we were driving to collect our daughter. We were only here for three nights for a wedding but it was a fun weekend.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful time in this cottage, and totally agree with the host's description of "a quiet country home away from home". An extremely well equipped place, only a few minutes away from lively Dingle, where we met several charming locals....we were thrilled to be in this beautiful region and would return in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Bob and Mary

Another great stay

This was our third stay in Bob's lovely house. Everything was just as good as on our previous stays and I have to say the the outside picnic table was a very nice addition. This time we brought my elderly parents and they also loved their stay. Bob had arranged for the heating to come on before we arrived so the place was nice and cosy, what better service can you ask for.

Lovely house in a great location.

We (mature couple) had a very enjoyable week in Robert's house. The beautiful weather (warm and sunny by Irish standards) was a bonus. The house was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The location is very scenic and convenient to Dingle town and the West Kerry area. Before we arrived we got very helpful tips for making our stay more enjoyable, places to visit and things to do in Dingle. We would like to return for a longer stay.

A great holiday in Dingle

We had a lovely holiday in Bob's bungalow. It had everything we needed. Bob had sent us information on eating out, pubs, music, places to visit and walks. We followed a lot of his advice and so had a great trip over to the Blasket Islands, soup and a guiness at Tai TPsbar, listened to tradional music at The Courthouse and at a church concert. Great holiday, walking parts of the coastal path and seeing some lovely beaches. Thanks

Truly a Home Away from Home

This wonderful place was neat and tidy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Prior to arriving, our host included a detailed memo including directions to the cottage, food and drink recommendations and things to do in the area. The location is great - close enough to town to be there in 5-10 minutes, but far enough to really enjoy the countryside and quiet. We ran into a small issue with the heat, which our host was quick to reply to, resolving the problem in no time. He also gave us a number of other tips and suggestions for the further locations we would be visiting during our stay in Ireland. Wonderful hospitality, can't wait to return!

AMAZING!!!

We came in town for a wedding in Dingle. This was our first trip overseas. I had LOTS of questions!! The owner, Robert and I texted and called several times before we made our trip. He sent helpful tips and recommendations before we even arrived. The house was incredible!!! Plenty of room and clean beyond belief!! I would love everyone who came to Dingle, Ireland to stay in this property!! Robert is a gem!! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!!

Dingle Delight

I do a lot of research before selecting a holiday home. Having been to Dingle a few times now, and stayed both in town and just outside, we decided to opt for a place outside of town in the busier Summer season. Bob's home did not disappoint. If you are in search of a home not too far from town (we had a car but took the taxi at night because of the strict drink-driving rules) set in a lovely valley with beautiful views from every window, you might want to give this place a try. Great cloud watching. Very well equipped kitchen, perfectly functional refrigerator, and all the kitchen gadgets a good cook will need make this a good bet if you want to cook in. Also, there are two open hearths! Two! We used the one in the sitting room every day. Draws very nicely (make sure you open the flue). Bedrooms are comfortable and there are two bathrooms with showers that work better than many in Ireland. The location is great, too. If you keep going out the road in front (away from town) you are basically going towards the end of the Slea Head Road. So many sights to see. Bob (and Linda) are easy to work with and are well known around town. We absolutely would stay in this home again.

About the host

Hosted by Bob

Host profile image
The owners take great pride in this property, performing periodic upgrades for the comfort and convenience of their guests.

Why they chose this property

Many of our guests were extremely complementary of the location -- far enough of out town to be quiet, but close enough for a walk or minutes by car. They also enjoy the well equipped kitchen.

What makes this property unique

Having one central location outside of Dingle provides visitors with home-cooked meals, the freedom and convenience of having your own private living space, and the attraction of some of the best music Ireland has to offer.
