The cottage was rustic but comfortable and clean. Peaceful. Location by the beach was wonderful for walks every morning. Aisling was responsive and attentive to any requests.

Authentic adorable cottage
Authentic cottage with simple and adorable accommodations. Walked to the beach and local pub daily. Far enough out of the bustle of Dingle, but close enough to enjoy all it has to offer and at the peak point of the Slea Head loop. Gracious and cheerful hospitality from our hostess!

Hi Jodie
Many thanks for your great review of Ventry Farm, Parlour Cottage, Dingle, Co. Kerry.
We appreciate your business and comments and do hope to welcome you again to Trident Holiday Homes.
This beautifully, rustically restored property in Ventry was the perfect place to stay in the Dingle Peninsula. It was minutes from Dingle and most of it's attraction. Excellent communication with the property manager as well.

Many thanks Sean for your feedback! We really appreciate it and hope to welcome you back again soon.
It was lovely, well advertised and the location was terrific.All we would suggest is a bit more spent on more substantial furnishings. The kitchen table was quite wonky for example.Overall wonderful.

We really enjoyed our time in ventry, we were thrilled to find out the parlour cottage is just a two
The lodge itself is quite rustic and overall a nice place. Description fits the location, photos are accurate and host is very nice. We would definitely return.
VERY rustic, beautiful location/setting, great parking, proximity to restaurants, town either walkable or short drive. Well-appointed in individual cottages as well as shared spaces. Communication with host re: check-in very good. Given the spaciousness of the cottage, a larger/more comfortable bed would be an extremely welcome addition.

The suite is really good and a wonderful location.
Our trip to Dingle Peninsula was a total success, because we had a wonderful suite at Church Farm. Everything was perfect: the suite and the location. Only a few minutes to the beachthe pub by fest. An extraordinary place to Visitenkarte Dingle Peninsula. Thanks Eva-Maria PS: And a very big hand for Aisling for her help and communication at Church Farm.

Simply beautiful
Even nicer than the photos! We took our two (incredibly well behaved!) kitties along and they had a great time too, bird-watching from the patio door. Aisling was a pleasure to deal with. We’ll most definitely be back!

Accueil très pro et chaleureux dans un cottage original et confortable à 300 m d'une plage confidentielle et 8 minutes en voiture de la charmante petite ville de Dingle. Ballade le long des falaises, musique live en buvant les bières locales dans les pubs incroyables, baignade des orteils... Un superbe condensé de l'Irlande !

Magnifique endroit, plein de charme
Magnifique endroit, plein de charme. Nous avons vraiment été très satisfaites de notre séjour. Le logement indépendant avec accès aux locaux et installations communes nous a parfaitement convenu. Plage accessible à pied, petit commerce pas trop éloigné, excellent point de départ pour découvrir la baie de Dingle.
