The only downside to renting this property is having to leave it. The location is heavenly; perfect for those who appreciate the beauties of the natural world, yet close enough to Dingle and a few local pubs to also enjoy a favorite drink or yummy food. Aside from the location, Shelia has decorated the house with such care and attention to detail. Local potteries and a great library add to the entire experience. I hope to return, but if not, I will forever cherish the memories of our days there.

The location is stunning, and the home is lovely - historic and well appointed. I would caution future visitors, however, to be aware that the spot is very isolated with spotty at best taxi/bus services to the town of Dingle which is 20 minutes away. The place is probably best for those who are comfortable/familiar with driving in Ireland. I wouldn’t recommend it for those with serious health or mobility issues.

Spectacular!

This was a spectacular property and a wonderful experience for me and my two adult daughters to spend three nights around Christmas time during Covid. The home was clean and cozy. The kitchen was wonderful.Local hiking was great. The Neanderthal ruins were interesting. I have recommended this location to friends and I’m sure that we will return again sometime.

The Perfect Vacation House

Spent a week on the Dingle Peninsula and wish we could have stayed for two. Plenty of room in the 3 bedroom house. Had all of the appropriate amenities and kitchen utensils you will need. The perfect location for those who want to get away from everything yet still be close enough to civilization. Located by the coast overlooking Slea Head Drive and the Blasket Islands. Majestic views, spectacular sunsets, local hiking.... can not say enough good things about this house. The peat fires on a chilly rainy evening were just incredible. Thank you again!!!

Lovely Lovely, at first not so sure. The house is isolated and simple, but it didn’t take long for us to appreciate the peace and quiet from our modern world. To be clear, the house didn’t have air conditioning or TV, but had everything we needed. The views and sunsets on the horizon were magnificent and even better than described on Vrbo, which is rare. Being that close to the ocean, birds, cows and sheep all made a wonderful experience. Simply lovely.

Amazing home away from home

What a special place. This home is perched just above the beautiful Coumenoole beach, on a spectacular Slea Head drive. The views and the surroundings are stunning. You are immersed in a small village life in the midst of the rugged beauty of Ireland. The home is filled with charm and artful touches throughout. It's spacious, clean and offers all the comforts of a home. You awaken to the amazing ocean views and go to sleep to the sound of the waves. The kitchen is very well equipped and lacks nothing for home made meals. Not only does the area has so much to offer, staying in at the cottage is just as enjoyable, as there are plenty of comfortable places in the cottage to cozy up and read. There is an extensive book library and the CD selection is fantastic. We had the most wonderful stay and would love to have the opportunity to return some day.

Coumeenoole flying visit

We stayed at the house for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The views are stunning and the beach is stunning and only a few mins walk away. The kitchen is well equipped. There is no TV which is a problem for some people. The nearest shop is 20 min drive away and its about 30 min drive from Dingle. Would have preferred white sheets and towels, just a small point. This is for people who like tranquility and getting away from it all.

Cosy home in a spectacular location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. We loved that the contents and decor remain authentic. We were left wanting for nothing. We called it "home" for the duration of our stay. Coming home after walks out on the Head, the living room was a cosy inviting space greeting us on our return. We could not fault our stay here and would love to stay again.

Holiday in Coomenole

We really enjoyed our stay in Coomeenole. The house is lovely and very comfortable. The decoration is smart and restrained, and the simple structure of the original house is preserved, with a well-equipped kitchen added to the rear. We had a couple of minor issues early on, but these were dealt with very quickly and without fuss. We travelled around the peninsula but also spent many hours just looking out the Blaskets and ‘An Fear Marbh’. A really beautiful part of the world, and a wonderful holiday.

Wild Atlantic

This site house is stunningly located overlooking Dunmore Head the most westerly point in Ireland and Europe, and the now uninhabited Blasket Isles. Don't come here expecting mild gentle weather for your stay, we had several days of very strong winds, exhillerating but not for those who want their hair to look perfect all day! The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There isn't a TV which was no loss to us, but an excellent relevant book collection is provided by the owner. The WiFi connection is pretty good given the remote location though phone coverage patchy. The house has been very thoughtfully decorated and fitted out using local crafts people. The local people are incredibly friendly, and many are Irish speakers, this being a gaeltacht area.

Incredible location, neighbors ten meters away right next door.

My wife and I stayed here for nearly two weeks, we loved the Dingle peninsula of Ireland with its dramatic coast line and gale force windy weather. From the pictures of this house on the Home Away website you don't realize that this house is located directly beside another two story house and yet another smaller house just below. If you're expecting seclusion you will be disappointed, especially since the tremendous view is completely mared by thousands of daily tourists fighting for parking at the nearby parking area. It's a shame really because simple honesty from the owner could have gone a long way, the neighbors were charming and not a problem at all and the views are absolutely stunning. Fortunately the tourist hoards don't really start until 10:30 a.m. and are usually gone be 6:00 p.m. leaving wonderful views of the rugged peninsula without the tour buses. The house itself is very charming, they've done a lovely job of maintaining its historical charm combined with bright colored furniture and comfortable beds and bedding. If you expect simple things like a microwave to reheat your tea you will be disappointed, no microwave, but the other appliances are new so you've got that going for ya. Perhaps the strangest/silliest oversight is that the INCREDIBLE view on the first floor, where you will spend all of your time, is blocked by two very large shrub bushes which could easily be removed or transplanted. Bottom line, keep these facts in mind so that you are not disappointed expecting total seclusion or privacy an visit this area, you will not be disappointed with the beauty, the charm or the views.

Shelia’s house set the standard for our three week trip up the west coast of Ireland!

We went rowing in Dingle Bay in a modified curach, a traditional fishing boat, with a member of the Dingle Rowing Club; went hiking to the edge of Dunmore Head; found field mushrooms and watched seals on Blasket Island; ate black sole, hake, monk and other local fish; listened to the fiddle of Jeremy Spencer, accordion of Meabh Ni Bheaglaoich, guitar of Matt Griffin, and lovely singing of the owner of John Benny’s; followed a farmer herding his sheep from one pasture to another up the road to Conor Pass; awoke on our last full day here to a double rainbow arching over Dunmore Head; for the first time burned peat in your fireplace, having burned wood and coal in fireplaces all my life; Planned to write a book of travel poems that will include one about our stay here.
