We stayed for three weeks as were returning 34 years after our Honeymoon and fell in love with the Dingle area. We based out of this beautiful cottage. It really did exceed our expectations. We felt like the winter/sitting room was a bonus we hadnât really remembered seeing or did not get how separate it is,a wonderful place to read a book just catch up. We never felt like we were missing anything that would have improved our trip. Very well decorated and appointed. It is a little bit of a drive from Dingle, but we loved our drives and found so many things to do outside of Dingle.
The house was spotless, very homey and comfortable, exactly as described/shown in listing, extremely well-equipped and in perfect running order, conveniently located...I loved it! No criticisms at all. My only complaint is that my holiday ended and I had to go home! Hope to return.
The house was just perfect, spacious rooms and gorgeous gardens. Interiors rustic, but not twee, and beautiful decor ( espescially loved the photos and paintings and was inspired to buy a book of John Hooton's work) All mod cons and a view to die for across the green fields and rolling hills of this stunning area of Eire. Our host, Joe, was attentive and warm to any requests or questions we pestered him with, and easy to reach. The sadness I felt on leaving was testament to the homliness we felt during our stay, would thoroughly reccomend.
This is our second home located in a place which we have a deep affection for, the Dingle peninsula. My wife Noreen was born right beside Dingle Harbour and I have spent many summers here in my youth. The house is very special to us as it was old and in need of extensive repair when we bought it first in 2006. We are proud to have restored the 150 year old stone walls of the cottage thus preserving an essential piece of local vernacular architecture, which is disappearing all to quickly from the Irish landscape, sadly.
Staying here is to walk back in time to mid 19th Century rural Ireland and get a real sense of what it was like to have lived then but without the hardships!
