Awesome location with close proximity to Dingle and located on the tail end of the slea head drive around the peninsula. House has all the amenities. Host provided us with a lot of information in regard to places to eat, places to listen to traditional Irish music, and sights to catch in the area. Check in was a breeze and the host was quick to respond with any questions. Definitely glad we stayed at this sweet location!

Bob and Mary’s home was perfect in every way. Decorated beautifully, seriously equipped kitchen, and plenty of room. It was a nice distance from the town center. Great vibes in the home, cozy. Loved having a bathtub. It was very clean, had a hairdryer, washer and dryer, and we felt very safe. We hope to go back to the home again.

Thank you, Sarah. All of your commentary was exactly why we chose Glins to have our home away from home. It's close enough to town for a long walk or quick drive to town centre, and far enough for a quiet evening at the picnic table in the garden. We have been told many times that the kitchen is very well equipped. Just because you're on holiday should not mean you can't easily prepare a good meal for family and friends. We hope to see you again, as many of our guests return to visit us and stay in a home and neighborhood that is familiar to them.

We had a lovely stay in Dingle thanks to Robert and Mary. Robert let us know there was a music festival that weekend and we had a great time enjoying the very talented folk, choir and traditional irish music. Dingle is not only a Mecca of music, it is a lovely town with great food, paths to walk out of town and very friendly people. We would love to stay at the Dingle cottage again!!! Kate

Thanks, Kate, for your commentary and kind words. We strive to give guests all the comforts of home, especially in the kitchen. We also work to keep our guests informed of things to see/do. Please come back when you can. Dingle Peninsula offers so much more to experience and absorb that it will take weeks to do a proper visit. We’ll see you again. Bob and Mary

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful time in this cottage, and totally agree with the host's description of "a quiet country home away from home". An extremely well equipped place, only a few minutes away from lively Dingle, where we met several charming locals....we were thrilled to be in this beautiful region and would return in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Bob and Mary

Another great stay

This was our third stay in Bob's lovely house. Everything was just as good as on our previous stays and I have to say the the outside picnic table was a very nice addition. This time we brought my elderly parents and they also loved their stay. Bob had arranged for the heating to come on before we arrived so the place was nice and cosy, what better service can you ask for.

About the host

Hosted by Bob

Host profile image
The owners take great pride in this property, performing periodic upgrades for the comfort and convenience of their guests.

Why they chose this property

Many of our guests were extremely complementary of the location -- far enough of out town to be quiet, but close enough for a walk or minutes by car. They also enjoy the well equipped kitchen.

What makes this property unique

Having one central location outside of Dingle provides visitors with home-cooked meals, the freedom and convenience of having your own private living space, and the attraction of some of the best music Ireland has to offer.
