This was a lovely location
Right by the beach and only 10-15 minutes drive to Dingle which was an amazing town! Also has an amazing local pub "Paidi O se" named after the famous Irish GA player. Of all the Guinness we tried across the region (which was a fair amount!) this was the best pint by far!

Our family had an amazing stay in the Rainbow Suite.
Aisling was a great asset, was available to answer any questions and welcomed us. We could have spent days exploring the property and the surrounding area, but only had a short 2 night stay. The location is private and serene. We loved the easy beach access and walk-ability to Paidi-o-se's. Highly recommend!

Marvellous
It was our second stay at Church Farm because we just love this marvellous place with the beautifull beach nearby and the great pub around the corner. This time we were joined by friends who stayed in another appartement. So we could fully benefit from the lounge for common meals, the garden for the kids to play and enjoyed x ozy evenings by the fireplace. Aisling was extremely kind and helpful

Beautiful spot to relax
Beautiful location very close to the beach
situated outside of the village, very quiet
Manager (Aisling) very helpful and attentive
Extraordinary accomodation to remember
If the accomodation is really intended for 6 persons, then sufficient seating should be provided. Yet as we were only four, we didn‘t have this problem.
The security deposit should be included in the price and booking process and not charged 24 hours ahead via telephone.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Grundsätzlich schöne, urige Unterkunft nahe am Strand. Wunderbar ruhig, ein Auto ist notwendig. Für uns wirkte sie ein wenig abgerockt, überall Spinnweben und auch wenn es viel regnet und die Luft salzhaltig ist, die Fenster könnten mal geputzt werden. Für den hohen Preis haben wir einfach etwas mehr Comfort erwartet.Bei klarer Sicht unbedingt in den Himmel schauen, wunderbare Sternenwelt!

Nice stay in an amazing location!
The combination of the location and the design of the accommodation were perfect for a mid-week get-away from Dublin city center with our visitors. Also, Aisling was super helpful with everything we needed! Very nice stay.
Deposit process - asking for full card details over the phone seemed quite suspicious and I'm genuinely surprised some of your visitors are willing to give these details to you. If this was the condition of our stay, I'd rather cancel as to expose such sensitive details.
Also, we were only four and we doubted a bit that the accommodation can comfortably host 6 people. The two beds on the top floor are very close to the wall, so even with one person sleeping there, they kept bumping their arms to the wall when turning around while sleeping.
