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.

Total escape
We have stayed at many home rentals in various countries and this was by far our favorite. The view and location alone were incredible, but the house itself takes you back to a simpler time but with the modern conveniences. Walking up to look out the windows at waves crashing on the rocks across the bay and the sun shining on the mountains was refreshing for the soul. Easy access to all of the Dingle Peninsula, but remote and quiet.

Wonderful to be back!
Second time friends and I have rented Youngs Cottage. Found it as welcoming, warm, cozy and peaceful as the first time. The views are spectacular rain or shine. Kathleen is a wonderful host. She made sure everything was perfect upon our arrival. We’ll be back! Catherine

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Dineen Young

Host profile image
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.
