Perfect!

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.

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 hadn’t 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.

Glad you enjoyed your revisiting of Dingle after 34 years. Yes the winter sitting room is special. Part of the old house which seduced us to buy it 20 years ago!

The Dingle tingle

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.

The house is beautiful, very well equipped with everything you need, a perfect set up for a family holiday with a fabulous open plan kitchen and living room area. Great outdoor space with stunning views. Close to lots of beaches and so handy to Dingle. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Durkan

Host profile image
Myself and my wife Noreen own this property. It is the fulfillment of a dream which we have shared for many years

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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!
