A week in Dingle

Good location, beautiful view. there is a lot to do in Dingle and Ventry. Joan is very sweet. b Best thing about the house is the fireplace. You can get timber or coal from the local shop and enjoy a rainy afternoon with a book and afire.

The cottage is tucked away in Ventry with sweeping views of pastures and the bay. The owner lives next door and was helpful in suggesting places to visit, and in answering our many questions about the area. We'd love to return.

Lovely location

Not having a sat nav and the Celtic museum, a vital landmark to finding the farm entrance, now a private residence we had some trouble locating it. Easy walk via footpath to the beach and very good local P.O. shop a few kilometres away. Joan was available if needed and it was nice being next to a working farm.

Great house out in the country

The host Joan is Amazing! She is so welcoming and helpful any time you need it. Goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good stay and know how to get around to all the sites. The house is very simple but comfortable and clean. Not priced like a newer fancy house either so i think its a great value for the price. Plenty of walking in the hills and down to the beach without having to drive anywhere, but also not too far from town if you want to hit a pub for a beer and a meal or go for some shopping. Highly recommended!

Charming cottage with helpful owner

Joan is a joy -- very pleasant and helpful. The cottage is charming and private but convenient to Ventry and Dingle and just off the lovely Slea Head Drive. It's a nice stroll to the beach. There are equestrian options nearby, too. Please note to bring plenty of 1€ coins as utilities are metered to ensure we each cover our own costs (which is fair and encourages economizing). The kitchen is nicely equipped for those of us who enjoy cooking. U would start here again when i return to Dingle Peninsula in future.

Lovely vacation home for family of six

We had a wonderful time staying in Ventry. We went to the grocery store in Dingle and were able to have several meals at the cottage during our stay. The quality of the cookware wasn't great, and the sheets and linens were a bit tired, but the beds were comfortable and we had no major complaints. I had read previous reviews about needing coins for the power, but Joan had it prefilled with 10 Euro, so that bought us some time if we hadn't brought any coins with us. We did need to leave it with 10 Euro in the meter before checking out. A few things that would have made it better - a larger cutting board, better knives and a nonstick pan, but most houses we stay in seem to be the same in terms of cookware quality, which is understandable. Also, there were no paper towels or tissues, so we had to buy some. Overall this was a great place for our family to stay, with easy access to the Slea Head road for drives to local sites and to the beach.

Ein wunderbarer Urlaub im Cottage von Joan

Wir wurden super herzlich von Joan empfangen und bekamen auch gleich Tipps mit auf den Weg (einsame Bucht, gutes Pub). Das Cottage ist sehr ruhig gelegen und die Aussicht ein Traum. Es war für uns groß genug (wir waren fünf Personen), sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Mit dem hübschen Kamin hat es auch den typischen, gemütlichen, irischen Charme. Als wir einmal ein kleines Problem mit dem Münzkasten hatten, hat uns Joan sofort Mann und Sohn zu Hilfe geschickt, und das, obwohl es schon sehr spät war. Uns hat der Urlaub richtig gut gefallen und das schöne Cottage hat einen guten Teil dazu beigetragen. Können wir guten Gewissens empfehlen! Gern würden wir auch wieder kommen.

Amazing location and views

This cottage was just what we were looking for. We loved waking up to those views from the sun-room and having breakfast there. The beds were a little outdated and tough but we found that a lot in Ireland. It could use some cleaning but for the price it didn’t bother us. Heat and electricity cost us around twenty euro for the three days. It was great having a washer and dryer. Overall we enjoyed our stay in Dingle at Joan’s cottage.

Tolle Lage - Haus mit Einschränkungen

Das Blick auf die Bucht ist wunderschön. Joan hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen. Es gibt jedoch ein paar Mängel, die aber unseren Urlaub nicht wirklich beeinträchtigt haben: Das Haus hätte sauberer sein können und ist insgesamt etwas in die Jahre gekommen, auch die Strom- und Heizung per "Münzeinwurf" ist unpraktisch.

Quaint cottage

Host was friendly. House needs updating as it is tired, dusty. The house was neat but needs a thorough cleaning behind beds and hidden places.. I don't believe there was any mention of having to pay to keep electric and heat on until after we booked. This could be mentioned in the ad beforehand. The water view is much further away than expected. Once again the host was friendly just cottage is tired looking.
