Loved the peaceful location and the laid back rustic feel.
The kitchen was fine but we ate out both nights we were there. Dingle was very busy and it was an easy drive back and forward.

A lovely, unique place to stay!
Walkable to a beautiful beach right down the lane. Stair/ladder to loft easy to climb. Neighbor guests polite so no issues with noise. Sheepdog demonstration nearby really interesting. We loved our stay.
It was great! After the initial shock of the size (online picture made it appear larger than it was, would have been ideal for 2 people but not so much for 3 adults). Loved the old charm of the renovated stone building and the setting was perfect. A short walk to the beach and a short ride to Dingle. Great hiking nearby and pub just down the street. The host and on-site manager were both responsive and accommodating. Would definitely go back again but would choose one of the larger cottages.

Die Gastgeberin st stets erreichbar und ausserordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit.Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung, hervorzuheben sind noch die allen Gästen zur Verfügung stehendenGemeinschaftsräume mit einer grossen zusätzlichen Küche und zwei geräumigen mit zahlreichen Sitzplätzen ausgestatteten Zimmern. Wir haben den Aufenhalt sehr genossen.
