About this property
Young's Cottage or "Tigh na Meala" on the Wild Atlantic Way Dingle Peninsula
"Tigh na Meala" is the Irish for "House of honey" which was the original name of this two-storey cottage, stunningly situated on the Atlantic coast 10 min outside of Dingle town in the direction of Feothanach, Ballydavid and Brandon Creek. There are three bedrooms, one with a double bed( master), one with a bunk bed (two singles) and one with a double bed and single bunk (sleeps 7 total). The beautifully renovated farm house has a large kitchen and living room with a traditional fireplace including the original antique iron crane (see photo). There is a cosy bathroom downstairs with bath/shower and a toilet upstairs as well. The breathtaking view from the front of the house looks directly out on Smerwick Harbour to the south and to the West lie the Three Sisters and the Atlantic horizon. To the east is Ireland's second highest mountain, Mt. Brandon, climbed by Celtic/Christian pilgrims since the early Middle Ages. Also visible in the distance are the hills of Great Blasket Island. Total privacy, a cosy house facing the North Atlantic & proximity to Dingle's lively pub scene are what this house offers.

Heavenly. Just heavenly. The cottage is cozy and well appointed. The beds are comfortable. The fireplace adds to the overall charm. The property is quiet and private. But the view is what really steals the show. We can’t wait to come back. Kathleen is very accommodating and a great communicator. This was our favorite Vrbo we’ve ever rented. Hands down.
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home in Ireland. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a fairytale. The house was immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly well equipped with everything we could possibly need.The views were simply breathtaking and seemed to change constantly with the Irish weather. One moment we were surrounded by sunshine, and the next the landscape was covered in mist and clouds—it was magical and something we never tired of watching.One of my favorite features was the open fireplace. Sitting by the fire and taking in the beautiful surroundings made the house feel so cozy and special.This was truly one of those places that becomes part of the memories you take home with you. We were so sad to leave and would absolutely love to stay here again. I cannot recommend this wonderful home highly enough!

We had a great time staying at the property. The views were amazing and the cottage was ideally located outside Dingle where you could travel easily around Slea Head.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I am so happy you enjoyed your time at the cottage. You will always be welcome!
We enjoyed our 3 nights at the cottage. Lots of room, lots of charm, and a good value. We stayed at lots of high end, expensive, small B&B’s this trip, and this was a nice, relaxing break to get away from all the people and traffic.

Best wishes, Kathleen
We loved everything about our stay at Young's Cottage. While exploring the whole peninsular we saw amazing views at every turn. But at the end of each day, we both believe the best views were those from our front yard.The house had everything we needed, host were very responsive and we will be back to stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Kathleen young
I am originally from County Cork. I grew up in an irish speaking family and we spent our childhood holidays in West Kerry. I fell in love with the area and the cottage is now my family holiday home with my three sons. The area is an inspiration for me as a singer with the area`s rich irish traditional music culture.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is a unique location with total privacy and stunning uninterrupted views of Smerwich Harbour and the Atlantic ocean. Winter or summer, it is a beautiful warm,quiet and peaceful place to be.
What makes this property unique
It is a traditional house maintaining its original character with wooden beams and stone floors. There is a feeling of going back 100 years in time. For me it is the only place in the world where time stands still and one can forget all the stress of work and modern living.
