Pipers Cottage is a 400 year old stone structure, a "black cottage", which was lovingly restored to incorporate all the modern conveniences including heated flooring, cosy living spaces, delightfully appointed bathrooms and comfortable bedding. It has a patio and out door furniture during summer months.
Guests have access to gas bbq and their own laundry with washer / dryer.
The cottage also has a great heritage value (please see explanation below).
The property has its own little cove and is situated between a number of working cattle farms. It boasts beautiful views, spectacular sunsets and is situated on the mouth of Ventry harbour. It is located 3 miles from Dingle which boasts many pubs and excellent dining facilities, great music and craic!
Guests have their choice of drinking filtered and UV treated well water (free of chlorine and flouride) or town water.
The cottage is a few hundred yards off the Slea Head Drive; a spectacular drive which has been described by National Geographic as "...The most beautiful place in the world..." It takes little effort and not much time to complete the drive and is well worth it!
Sea safaris are available through Dingle Boat Tours to cruise Dingle harbour or to visit the Blasket Islands, to view the wild life including puffins, whales, dolphins, seals, deer, gannets, basking sharks and many more, depending on the season.
We are only too pleased to offer advice about attractions, pubs, music, restaurants OR to simply leave ye in peace to enjoy the trnquility of the setting.
The Dingle penninsular retains strong cultural links with the past. Each night of the week there are traditional music offerings in several Dingle pubs. Some are performances while some are sessions which offer opportunity for visiting musicians to join in, no matter what their level of musical prowess. Just ask the person leading the session if you are invited to join in and away you go! Many of the tunes and Irish songs date back centuries .
