We really enjoyed our stay. Our host Brian gave us lots of pointers on things to do and see. We did a few but actually just hanging around the house looking at the scenery and walking to the nearby beach was enough for us. A really relaxing holiday.
The house itself is lovely and very well equipped.
Brain - der Gastgeber - nicht hilfreich. Antwortzeiten 2 Tage - jeweils ohne Ergebnis
Einrichtung sehr schlecht, Sofa 50 Jahre alt, speckig und die Federn drücken durch
Betten extrem hart --> Rückenschmerzen
super hellhörig
Keine Gartenmöbel, nicht mal ein Gartenstuhl
Haus liegt direkt an der Strasse an er am Wochenende 100 Reisebusse vorbei donnern
The property was exactly as described - in fact better, because the grounds lead right down to the cliffs and the sea. Our host Brian could not have been more helpful and informative. The area is beautiful, with endless rugged coastline, wild sea views, and unspoilt walks. The cottage itself is well kept and equipped and very comfortable. We would definitely come back
Brian was so incredibly helpful and such a great host. We absolutely loved the cottage. The scenery was stunning and I hope we are able to come back again. A perfect place to spend a week exploring the Dingle peninsula.
We arrived in the dark but woke to a view that was more than spectacular!!!! The cottage is lovely and had everything you could possibly need. We loved every second of our time there. The Dingle Peninsula is fantastic and a gorgeous part of Ireland. There was so much to see and do. We felt it had one up on the Ring of Kerry. Would absolutely recommend this cottage. Thank you to our host Brian.
We loved our time here. Brian was so informative and helpful about the area and the house. The view was stunning and changed daily with the weather. The house was as advertised. It was a perfect week away on the west coast of Ireland.
Stayed a week. Outside Dingle but easy to get to. Close to lots of things to do. Loved Slea Head drive. Easy access to walking beach and rugged coastline
Beautiful place to visit. Place just like in the pictures
The cottage, setting and VIEWS far exceeded our highest expectations. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and so enjoyed getting to know hosts Philomena and Brian better. We will return…
I suppose the first thing is the view. I could just sit and look out the window for an endless amount of time. The house itself was a dream, clean, cozy, comfortable. Brian was a great host, friendly and responsive. All in all, I would return as often as I could.
Brian was wonderful host. Greeted us at the cottage offering to help with our luggage then sharing stories and history of the area. Lots of great suggestions regarding exploration of Dingle. He even brought over his own espresso machine for our use after we mentioned a newfound love of espresso.
The cottage is idyllic. Beautiful setting with the most amazing views of the sea. Perfect for long hikes,shorter walks or simply sitting and drinking in the scenery. We LOVED our time there .
The cottage was comfortable and well equipped but, most importantly, had the most amazing view. Brian was a super friendly host who gave us a great guide to the area.
You have 2 stunning coastal walks from your door and so many more nearby.
Dingle is packed with good restaurants and pubs but there are also lovely ones in ballyferriter.
We didn’t drive more than 5 miles from the cottage but still left feeling there was plenty still to explore
What a magical place to celebrate 20 years of being married. Between the glorious view, rich history, and kind people willing to share their knowledge and tales we found time for laughter, adventure, and relaxation. Thank you Brian for going above and beyond to make us comfortable and check in with fun suggestions, stories, and conversation. Sad to go but memories were made and we will be back. We didn’t quite finish naming all the sheep yet. Until we meet again.
Absolutely beautiful. The most fantastic views near the stone cottage itself. Very clean and comfortable. Great hiking trails with stunning sights starting at the cottage. Brian and Petra were great hosts. Thank you for explaining the History of the Dingle peninsula. We truly enjoyed our stay. We hope to return again.
This cabin overlooks the grand rocks, the crashing sea, the peaceful sheep of Dingle's Gaelic heritage. Indescribable. The cabin has firm comfortable beds, an updated kitchen (an updated everything!) and a walking stick to take you to many trails. We had a magical time with the Tis Aine Cafe, the Blaskets, Dingle the town, a potter in Ballyferrier, good pubs. And did I say sheep?!
Brian was gracious, easy, full of history, and gave loads of info ahead of time. Please don't tell anyone about this wondrous peacefilled secret place .
Secrets of the Irish Landscape about Robert Lloyd Praeger's findings is a great youtube introduction to Ireland.
This is one of those rare occasions where the pictures do not due the property and especially the views justice. Everything was exactly as described, but more beautiful. I kept saying, "It feels like something out of a movie," and then reminded myself that it was. Brian was wonderful to work with and super responsive.
Highlight and most relaxing part of our visit to Ireland. The accommodations and view were stunning and our host was incredibly hospitable and helpful in guiding us to great activities and resources in the area. Highly recommend!
Brian our host was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area making excellent suggestions for places to visit and eat.
Blasket visitors centre a must 30 minutes' walk, we spent a great couple of hours on a rainy day.
Quinns bar steak sandwich and beer brilliant.
Brian responded in 5 minutes to a very minor issue.
We could have sat at the cottage window for hours watching the changing weather. Lovely hour circular walk down to the beach in-front of cottage and round the headland back via the pottery factory.
The cottage had everything we needed.
We will definitely be back
This was our first stop in Ireland and was absolutely beautiful - Brian was very helpful - shared some stories about the property and area - we would definitely stay again!!!
We loved our stay! The scenery from the home was absolutely breathtaking, and it was so enjoyable just to sit and watch the ocean. The home was very clean and communication with the owner was excellent. It was about a 10 minute drive into Dingle, and about 1 hour 15 minutes from the Kerry Airport and Killarney. We will definitely rent this property again if we are back in the Dingle area.
